Best infinity loop explanation on internet. I quite enjoy your video not only because your detail explanation but also your motion looks so natural and really can project that into water. Will definitely keep practicing! Thanks mate, keep up with the good work!

[@YeWLayton]

Cheers, thank so much!!

[@stevem3797]

@@YeWLayton I love the STOKE that you convey too

[@stevem3797]

Agree, this was the best loop video I've seen. No cones, no limits. Towards the end, you moved well beyond slavish infinity loops, and started ripping-- with snaps and cutbacks, and "fins-out" slides. That is what it is all about, just improvisational ripping in your driveway! I am going to save this video (and subscribe/ding the bell), and get out and practice. Can you give some tips on avoiding wheel bite, please? It is holding me back. Cheers mate.

[@YeWLayton]

Thanks so much! Appreciate it! That's it, bringing your mind surfing to life and having fun with it! unfortunately any tips to avoid wheel bite, I get it too. It's probably due to pushing too hard on your turns - that's how I get it. But pushing hard on your turn means your carrying speed and power through your turns, so you don't really want to tone back on that cause it's funner when you can lay into a turn with everything you got. it may also be a matter of wearing your wheel done just a touch - I find after I've worn mine down a bit, I don't notice it as much - probably due to them not being as grippy, so they slide off your deck instead of catching.

[@dxsaigon]

You can try some smaller wheels or risers. I recently went down to 60mm wheels from the stock 70mm that came with my complete deck and haven't had it once, even after loosening my trucks.

[@99timewaster]

Your bottom turns are so powerful! So much speed!

[@YeWLayton]

Thank you!!

[@boxertwinjeff]

This looks like a fantastic all body workout for flexibility & building Core muscle strength,... at 63 years old perfect for maintaining agility & coordination. Loving your videos mate 👌

[@YeWLayton]

Yes its a great workout! engages and uses a lot of core muscle groups. Stoked you enjoy them! YEW!

[@99kittens]

Thanks for the tutorial. You make it look so easy!

[@YeWLayton]

All good! Practise makes perfect!

[@endlesswaltz29]

Nice! Been practicing this infinity loop just by copying other surskaters, really hard for me i cant finish one always break at backside and lose momentum and i gave up. With this detailed tuts i might try it out again thanks🔥🙌

[@YeWLayton]

Definitely give it another go! You've got this!

[@MotoTrialGuarulhos]

The best class!

[@YeWLayton]

Thank you!

Nice riding dude, super smooth!

Yewhooooooo~ I really like your riding and skills and maneuvers. So smooth Nice bra

[@YeWLayton]

YEWW! Thanks heaps!

[@ArciereCavallo]

Before this video, I didn't understood why many people try this maneuver. Now I can see :)

[@YeWLayton]

Yes, it's a good workout to improve those fundamental techniques used all the time in surfing and surfskating

[@Amatteus]

My turns are never so long..I have to pump to keep turning.. Will have to try harder following your explanation. Thanks for the video.

[@guybartlett9587]

Holy crap, that is very smooth and snappy, I'm gonna hit it now btw I don't find it easy, I thought it was harder cause I'm doing it on a slight slope, but I see your on a slope.thanks

[@YeWLayton]

YEW! no worries, I find a slight slope helps, happy surfskating!

[@Maximilian.Appelt]

Your videos are the best for surfskating, thanks so much!! 💯 What about doing a "How to"-Summary to learn surfskating? I've found my stand, getting better in generating speed, but what's up next? Which maneuvers would you practice now? Keep on riding! 🤘

[@YeWLayton]

Thanks so much! Appreciate it! I'd recommend practicing carves and cutback next. Now that you've found your flow and generating speed, you can now start practicing laying it down on the rail. Practice both backside and front side. Once you've got carves down pat, it'll be easier to progress into doing roundhouse cutbacks, as they're essentially a front side and backside carve link together. Once you're confident with those maneuvers, you can try sliding the tail. YEW! Keep it up!

[@Maximilian.Appelt]

@@YeWLayton Thanks man, very much appreciated! 🤙

Super 👍👍💕

No worries! happy Surfskating

[@gaetan8192]

Thanks for your vidéo, i can do it now (and my kids don't :) ). It's very usefull on a skate park; Is it possible to have a video about the 180 front or backside ?

[@YeWLayton]

Epic! Yes lots of fun at the park! What do you mean about the 180 front or backside?

[@gaetan8192]

@@YeWLayton like this : kzbin.info/www/bejne/onbcl3ZpnKl3jMk i can slide 90° but never more, then i fall forward. I don't undestand that trick

[@YeWLayton]

@@gaetan8192 Check out my Reverse 360 video, same mechanics involved as a 180 kzbin.info/www/bejne/laC7m2Nun5aqmas

[@Digiphex]

How does the weight shift at each stage from front to back?

[@YeWLayton]

it means shifting your weight on your toe side - so you lean forward - then shifting to heel side - so you lean backward

[@TheFonzirelliz]

What's that music by the way?

[@Aa-vo4sh]

Great video, but mostly, I would like to know where is this music from ?

[@YeWLayton]

Thanks! should be in the description

[@Aa-vo4sh]

@@YeWLayton Nothing about it at the description. Anyway, I tried to do the loop but couldn't keep my speed, then I realized that unlike you, I'm in flat ground, Is it critical?

[@YeWLayton]

@@Aa-vo4sh Buggar, thought I included it in there. Can't remember that track maybe try using the Shazam app. No, you can still perform it on flat ground. you just got to make sure you really compressing and extending out each turn to help generate that speed. To help with speed, try implementing a lilttle double pump out of each turn or when you feel like you're losing speed. For eg. FS cutback then a little double pump to hit the BS cutback, then little double pump to hit the FS cutback again and focus on compressing and extending and driving from rail to rail to help maintain speed, then try without the double pump.

[@Amatteus]

The difficulty is in making a full circle with just one pump... I can not do that. .. Basically is one full circle on one side followed by another circle on the other side.. My problem is that my motion stops in the middle of the circle, and I have to keep pumping. then is not a full rounded circle.

[@YeWLayton]

It's all about staying compressed through that transition and maintaining that momentum from toe side to heel side when you extend. It's just practice, you'll get it YEW!

[@Amatteus]

@@YeWLayton Thank you.

[@janikwellmann]

Can you also do it on a flat surface ?

[@YeWLayton]

Yes 100%

[@NCsurfer607]

Is that on flat ground or an slight angle?

[@stevem3797]

looks like a slight incline... which may help, as would the smoothest surface you can find

[@YeWLayton]

Yeah its on a slight incline
