SQUAT EVERYDAY

[@GuyBucktastik]

Bulgarian split squats yaya?

[@popbottles229]

The tutorial I’ve always wanted🎉❤

[@saas-rx1td]

I just managed to learn the toeside standupslide comfortably and now I'm into the squat slide for a week or two already. Perfect timing maaan. I also started to do hip mobility workouts about a month ago, because you always mention the importance of those in you videos. And now you also uploaded your stretch routine🤝. I really appreciate it!

[@ultimatejoe71617]

I’m also struggling with this right now. I think I’m too tall? But mostly lack mobility. I’m going to focus on mobility.

"Well, my young Padawan..." = 🌟

[@ms4f]

Dude your in-depth videos are giving me back my will to live after I get owned by the pavement again and again. Big up from Tbilisi, Georgia

[@sergiofilho7845]

Great ill try this , standing one are hard ass, also im comfortable with mine LY SunSeeker 38 but i think the concave board feature is holdings me learning a bit.

[@RideFlyLongboards]

Thanks homie been waiting for you to drop this for a long time 🤙🏾

[@bretsticks3306]

i think finding that right hill with the right gradient and corner is important for learning squaties

[@ThaneMonsters]

Do love these videos.

[@helgevig5134]

He's a good man And thorough I really admire your ability to explain in depth these techniques. Had not thought about the difference in weight placement due to sym/split bp angles! Big thanks boss 🫡

[@helgevig5134]

BTW Is that Banana Peels you're riding? 🧐🍌🤭

[@gurgelgrunz5712]

Do you think the shoe size matters when choosing a freeride/Downhill board

[@seanogawa6122]

Been waiting for this tutorial. Thank you!

[@drummer856]

Yea bro best channel anything on a board for sure. You or anyone else ever have issues sliding consistently??? You kinda touched on that but sometimes I could be breaking slides perfectly for like an hour or whatever, then for whatever reason it’s like my brain and body shut down like I completely forgot how to break traction. Sometimes I can find my groove again but it’s like every attempt I have no idea if I’m gonna be painting nice lines or taking the high side. I kinda think part of my issue is just not keeping my weight focused, and it’s not following through with the precarve. Especially if someone is just starting out, that precarve will decide if you break traction and break clean or not, and thanks for pushing that point.

[@downhill254skate]

Sounds like you just need a break tbh. A lot of these problems are just from going too hard for too long

[@Rankindready]

Stoked goes in depth. trick shuts down.

[@thechris2039]

When's the toe-side squat slide video coming out? 🙂

[@johnnylonergan929]

Excellent

[@icj1mg]

Love the videos bro. What legnth board is that?

[@emm_beja]

Love it!

[@bretsticks3306]

i got some laughs out of this one... i am but a mere mortal

[@rjpichardo]

Ok sensi 1:50

[@DaddyRobotX15]

I'm having such difficulty with these. 150 weekends & I still am unable to keep my right shoulder higher than my left (im goofy) & at fast speed or slower , I keep putting my puck down & pendy-ing. It's like my brain won't kick out to squat. maybe I'm not pressing my front hard enuff thruout the slide. could my upper body strength be holding me back or how can I keep my hands up?

[@thechris2039]

When are you going to do a toe side squat slide video?

[@downhill254skate]

hahaha .... im not that good ...

[@RideFlyLongboards]

@Downhill254 Are you decompressing at any point during kick out or hip twisting?

[@AroniDeliquint]

Nope. You sit and maintain that

[@micahjones7837]

1:43 I got caught 😬

[@dewaynematthias5548]

I have a question. Should i work on standup first or is squat slides a good transition from glove down slide. I feel im getting good with glove down shutdown, pendulum, and both ways. Just working on speed and technique now. So i was wondering is this a good transition from there or should i work on stand up some before?

[@squidsh0rts]

This is a great question. I am in the same situation.

[@chadgridlock]

Same, it feels safer than stand ups

[@kirillbelotserkovsky7305]

Hey yoyoyo, what's your board name pls?

[@Papitz0603]

😗

[@eBoard3R]

🤙🏼🤙🏼

[@theuzlivid]

When you kick out and the bought doesn't slide:🗿
