How to do Hip Tricks with Pro Skateboarder Omar Hassan

[@NiloRiver]

The most comprehensive "how to" in transitions I've ever seen. Very clear minded feel of the flow! Thank you!

[@SportskoolPlus]

Thanks Nilo. Glad they were helpful.

[@chrisloya6988]

Omar, you have answered all my questions I've ever wanted to know about busting air in just less of 4 minutes! Thank you so much brotha! Keep shreding!

[@gepettowins]

its so easy for him, you can tell he's trying to keep it small but still catching like 3 feet of air. you can see how he lands just under the coping, so precise and smooth

[@JeremyAverett]

Excellent series of vids. So glad Omar worked with you guys. He's always been a boss but his instructing skills are just as good! Exactly what I've been looking for, all of em.

[@40nights40daystv]

this is like 5 years of practice put into one video lol

[@SuperKingbunny]

thanks needed this remind myself, i dont suck cuz i cant learn in a week

[@PONYBOYonline]

SuperKingbunny assuming you aren’t a beginner, if you spent 4 days at a skatepark committed to learning a backside air over a hip, you could land a decent one for sure. Issue most people have is that they go to a skatepark, try a trick for 20 minutes, then give up and move on and tell themselves they’ll learn it some other day.

[@Knygathin]

@@PONYBOYonline Brilliant observation. Thank you. I will keep that in mind.

[@claysoggyfries]

As long as you’re comfortable on transportation just early grab

[@simeonorive145]

If 5 years is a lifetime with natural ability.

[@patximendizabal5150]

This is when you watch a very well explained video, ... he makes it look easy,... you go to the bowl so confident, with all the theory in your mind, ... you see yourself doing it ... and when the moment arrives,... you realize how difficult it is, you hardly pass step 1 and you realize that your dream will take so much time and effort 😥

[@leredditcommander8208]

baby steps bro, baby steps. I still cant air over the coping but i dont fall anymore.

[@adamtryst3072]

Thank you Omar ! Simplified it for me after all these years. Cheers legend !

[@thomasharris4650]

This is a detailed block of instruction, hope to pull this off soon !

[@theqsanity5797]

This guy's a good teacher. Thanks broski!

[@andomare]

Im really happy that you included round hips, thank you very much!

[@communitykasten7880]

This video gives me feelings of an tlc series 😲

[@PeterPletanek]

Thanks for the hints, I go tomorrow pool riding (first time after 45 years, small pool) :-)

[@Knygathin]

Go for it! Just be sure to do some warm up and muscle stretching first. And speed up GRADUALLY, feeling comfortable all the way, never forcing it.

[@camelo1495]

Thanks bro.....need the help and advice and it's good progression advice. Appreciate the thinking behind the video

[@rickysolorio9]

I bought his Vans a long time ago. They were dope!

[@BusenBingoBalthasar]

Really nice tutorial, offers a good overview over the different aspects of doing hip transfers. One thing I've been wondering about: It looks like for the frontside air, Omar is just using the pop of the coping where as for backside he starts incorporating an ollie much earlier. Do people typically rely more on the coping for frontside and more on pop for backside?

[@JoeFitzgeraldrocks]

no..gotta pop frontside once you get higher

[@robfromvan]

I find usually if you put pressure on the tail the board end up going over the coping, even if it’s just a little bit

[@AntonioKantek]

This was awesome!

[@angeloboboyo5145]

Best Explaination on transition..btw thank you Sir :)

[@lixibao]

Great coach!!

[@lacendo]

you dont really have to ollie, just scrabe the tail :)

[@camelo1495]

Thank you.... appreciate the tips

[@narijodeco6869]

Thanks for all these tuto! that help me a lot :))!

[@SportskoolPlus]

Glad they are helping Florian. Thanks for the feedback!

[@Brusselsproutsk8]

Good shit!

[@robfromvan]

Even if you just put pressure on the tail the board will go up in the air and it’s safer cuz it sticks to your feet better the more pressure you put.

[@Loveforcycling]

Show!!!!! Obrigado!!! Muito bom!!!

[@Rufusdos]

What he calls a "frontside air grab" is what I've always thought of as an indy, and a fairly classic one too.

[@PenaSJC]

+Rufusdos Indy air is only to back hand. ;)

[@Rufusdos]

+PenaSJC 5:13 it IS his back hand dude!

[@PenaSJC]

+Rufusdos No bro. At 5:13 is the classic front side air.

[@Rufusdos]

PenaSJC What do you mean "no"? You say indy is back hand, I agree with you on that. At 5:13 he uses his back hand, therefore = indy. I guess an indy is just one type of frontside air.

[@roert_hlrit]

Indy is grabbing with you back hand but turning backside in the air, he is doing a classic frontside air at 5:13.

[@Trev612]

Yeah all those tricks right there take about a year-and-a-half it don't take note 8 minutes and 24 seconds good luck fellas

[@robfromvan]

Haha so true, it literally takes hours and hours of practice to get all this stuff, I’ve been airing over hips for years and only realized recently you get more air and it’s safer if you apply pressure to the tail. I figured it out through trial and error. Every winter I lose this trick and then have to keep doing airs over hips in order to get more and more air and make it look nice.

[@jaspersheridan1710]

Airing straight to Oli-ing, that's a whole vid on its own.

[@Nico-eg7nz]

Do I need to use the concave of the tail for the ollie? Because you are standing more inside than outside.

[@wantmeX]

probably for safety of the back foot, if it slip...

[@bradzillaking4722]

Looks so easy! Yeah, right. Regretfully, I stopped skating before the parks came back. I got tired of paying fines as a poor kid for street skating. Then, the job, married life and kids came on and took over. Now my 8yr old has asked me to help him learn and I'm sucked back in. I can still ride pretty good and set up some slash grinds but the ole tricks seem a lot harder these days! Haha...

[@worshipismyweapon_]

How about the landing. How you keep the board from shooting out of the bottom of your feet.

[@wantmeX]

2 phase : sucking the board to ur chest, then extend gradually to land, if ur are slow enough the board stick

[@eduardoleal6962]

Is it as easy as he makes it look?

[@FerreneMachine]

Eduardo Leal no

[@wantmeX]

the ollies are hard as fuck ^^

[@andomare]

@@wantmeX not really hard, but scary as fuck :)

[@hondacivic-kv9uu]

Ye

[@wantmeX]

i need a wood hip to try blasting big ollies safely
