How To Blunt Fakie: My Perspective EPISODE 7

[@ZackDowdy]

What trick should I do next!?! Also, what do you guys think about naming this series "My Perspective" something along those lines?

[@trueskatewithsam5275]

My perspective is a great one because there no one way to do, or learn the trick. So the title would be saying imo that this my perspective on how to learn this trick. Great video thank you for sharing the knowledge.

[@danielt.haver1]

“Dowdy’s perspective” would be cool

[@ZackDowdy]

@@trueskatewithsam5275 You nailed it man!

[@Ayy.Its.Kruciall]

"Dowdy's Do's & Don'ts: Transition" "Dowdy's Do's & Don'ts: Street" "Dowdy's Do's & Don'ts: Park skating" Idk just rollin ideas out there for ya to ponder on 🖤🤍🖤👍💯😅😜

[@chadskates6175]

You should do rock n rolls! I've been having some trouble with those

[@yotusi8aol]

Love your videos Zack. Suggestion for a future episode: No-comply on transitions, like no comply to tail-stall, etc.

[@ZackDowdy]

I was thinking about no-comply tailslide/disaster/etc good idea thanks dude!

[@landonkane1795]

Yes pls do this I tried this I end up doing a no comply nosegrab to tail stall

[@laustenfound]

It's always a good day when I see another video from you in my feed! I appreciate your videos and how they're shot. Good advice and positivity which is what we all need these days. Just wanted to share my appreciation with you brother!

[@ZackDowdy]

I appreciate you! 🤘

[@gavinbander5]

A suggestion for trick tips would be a 5-0 stall on quarter pipe/mini. I say stall because once you get stalls it should be easier to grind. At least that worked with 50-50s. Also maybe boardslide a downrail? There’s a downrail at my local and I really want to boardslide it, but I bail each time and can’t commit. Great video man!

[@ZackDowdy]

Thanks dude! 5-0/Pivot is a good idea!

[@bradleysmith9924]

Thank you! I'm having real trouble getting consistent pop outs so when you mentioned about the slight leaning down is something I'm going to try I think. :)

[@ericpeinhaupt]

Thanks for this! Just crushed out learning rock to fakies and needed something to progress onward. I dig the "My Perspective" series name.

[@ZackDowdy]

Thanks Eric, stoked you like that one!

[@corks8807]

Watching your back foot is so sick on the blunt fakies. It starts off more in the pocket rolling up, then you move to land it on that lil bit of tail sticking out to get the pop out rad vid

[@ZackDowdy]

YES!! Good point, sometimes I forget to mention those things.

[@zacharyfarris9040]

Intro song is Mumbo Sugar by Arc De Soleil for anyone interested. Excellent taste sir 🤙

[@poisonousbirds]

love these videos dude, so relaxing

[@asawolfe_]

yo i requested this and needed it yes thanks Zack!

[@XSProgression]

He said your name and I was like oh shit!

[@asawolfe_]

@@XSProgression I know haha i got so stoked! I still cant learn this trick but hopefully one day!

[@XSProgression]

AsaWolfeSkates not in my bag yet either. We both got it comin though!!

[@yeyororo8398]

Fantastic tip to rock fakie, I touch with the middle board and I have a hard time controlling the descent, thank you very much

[@KyleAndersonSkates]

my perspective sounds great, gonna have to try decking rock fakies later on today, always been a middle of the board person

[@ZackDowdy]

I was a middle of board person for so long! After learning how to deck it, out of bordem one day... it all changed!

[@GravityPancake]

Still think the series should be "Dowdy Does"

[@richardrodriguez7097]

Hmmmmmmmm, I like that

[@richsantiago1]

Yea Zack. Rock Fakie has been one of my last fundamental tricks im trying to get a hold of. Watching this made me approach it very differently in a good way. Now I can hopefully tackle the Blunt to Fakie! :)

[@ZackDowdy]

Sweet! That's the idea, apply anything that can help while still maintaining your own style :) STOKED!

[@a.f.m.4134]

great series man. i learned about your channel from your diy tutorials, great to see these trick tips. question: do you ever do the thing where you sort of ollie into the blunt on the transition? any thoughts on that?

[@ZackDowdy]

I suck at that! I've seen people do it so good, it seems like you have to ollie low-to-high type of situation. I should try that, thank you for the feedback!

[@32srt32]

just built a 2ft quarter with 5ft radius. its harder than i thought it was going to be but im learning my backside pivots, frontside is alot harder. havent gotten my rock to fakie yet. but noticed speed is key to really controlling your tricks. i keep wanting to ollie everything instead of just rolling up and using the ramp. how do you get out of the habit? 20yr street skater that has only dropped in before. love the tips

[@eastlakefilms9407]

I swear dude everytime I'm about to go skate you post a video

[@ZackDowdy]

That's awesome haha!!

[@GravityPancake]

Grabbing nose when learning blunt fakies definitely helps with the last half of the trick. Fingerflips back in are boss when you're good with basics

[@faremsao9698]

Love your style! Keep killing it!

[@ZackDowdy]

Thanks dude!

[@wakazuzu]

When I learned pivot fakies in the 90's and didn't have any internet or whatever I used to pivot right on top of the coping then back in and man I ate it bad a few times lol!

[@evanbland2079]

Yes! 🥳🥳 I’m so proud

[@ZackDowdy]

🤘

[@YouFit100]

Love the tutorials dude!

[@orionbates3890]

I’m pretty bad at rock famine but that’s because I do teater totter and im definitely going to work on it and get better! thank you

[@mohlerphotography4054]

Thnx for the tips! Dig it!

[@gavinbander5]

My perspective or Zack’s perspective sound tight!

[@poulsentyler]

"my perspective" is solid that subscriber nailed it haha. Have you ever thought about gutting your back yard and and making it into like a little mini skatepark?

[@ZackDowdy]

I thought about it, but we're planning to move in a couple years. At the next house for sure.

[@micahskis750]

Thanks for the tips!

[@mielseys629]

N I C E

[@guybartlett9587]

Thank you

[@chinarello2928]

So what’s that car? Looks sweet!

[@oldbonz]

I can't do rock fakies, FS Smith's BS fiebels- gottem on loc, can't do these for some reason. Any tips to coming back in? Like where your weight is, head shoulders facing? Anything to get past this trick would be so helpful and appreciated!!!

[@alexhollander4198]

love your videos!

[@ZackDowdy]

TY Alex!

[@nikosoup7999]

front tails stalls are front disasters but lean more on your tail instead of pushing your board out

[@johnatanfreitassouza8209]

👏👏👏👏

[@ezrhino100]

Dowdys skate garage.

[@williamgass9242]

So... basically just do it. Great

[@ezrhino100]

Zacks house of blunts.

[@SeanEnuks]

Dude if i tried to rock to fakie like that i feel i would catch my front trucks on the way back in and die lol

[@cristobalolave9234]

please do outdoors vlogs mixed with skating like the one you go to a waterfall°

[@ZackDowdy]

I got some ideas!

[@GravityPancake]

You sound a bit like Rodney Mullen while explaining the nuances of tricks

[@christianle4240]

How could someone dislike... HOw...

[@notprochris]

Trick segment name "How Dowdy Do"

[@tracewalters1378]

do a vid where you learn a trick we pick, you'll have to learn it for the vid lol. win win
