Infinity Loop IN-DEPTH tutorial | surfskate

[@rutgerschuilenburg3581]

Shane, I’m 46 years old and started practicing to surf skate two weeks ago.I’ve managed to learn pumping and slowly added knees and hips to my moves. This video is absolutely fantastic and got me to accelerate at longer pumps and make my curves a lot sharper and smoother. Though I’m still quite stiff in my movements, I can only improve from here with your tutorial. Many many thanks, I’ll keep going at it until I’m a pro!😂

[@clperez32]

Lol.... 48 here... started 1 week ago.... And just came across this video also after trying to do the loop for a while.... I am feeling you. :D

[@Acolyte_of_Cthulhu]

same here! and after 1 month i got my 2nd surfskate with different trucks. But its tricky, at times i wiggle like a fish :)

[@HenriqueMerisalo]

Im 44 and just started:) great video👌

[@caljude]

I'm 43 and still thinking if i'll start skating again and then saw this video 🤗

[@rog9354]

Im 45 i also started .Feels like a pattern 😂GOOD LUCK GUYS

[@Eric-do9jq]

This is much harder than it looks. I have practise for weeks and slowly geting there. Every motion with the body is important and there is little room for errors. Awesome!

[@ErisonSilvaa]

I agree 😅, I've been skating for a long time, and I still have things to fix in this compress and decompress

[@philippezsiga1125]

flexion, extension Is the secret to a really good surfing and snowboarding( carving) technique ;; same in skateboarding; ; when you have understood and felt this on a snowboard or surfboard, your turns can be absolutely perfect

[@philippezsiga1125]

I am starting surfskate and cruisers and you really use the same technic ( compress decompress) than in surfing or snowboarding.

[@philippezsiga1125]

Also the heavy use of shoulders to turn is like surfing.

[@mihhailzaplava4820]

+++ but we will get there

[@scotthull2141]

Bra, without a surfboard or wave in sight, you just opened my eyes more than any lesson i've ever heard or seen. 🤙🏼 thank you 😊

[@DutchCherokeeXJ]

I have watched this video at least 20 times, even at 25% speed and learn something new every time I see you are demonstrating your moves. Absolutely fantastic tutorial Shane! Thank you so much! I hope my 55 yo Dutch hips will loosen up a bit while practicing. All they are used to is doing the Dutch klompen (wooden shoes) dance 😅

[@rightuppercut1426]

Fellow countryman of the same age here. Got my Carver Prismal delivered 2 weeks ago and starting practicing now. Your tutorials are of great help, Shane. Subbed straight away.

[@DutchCherokeeXJ]

@@rightuppercut1426 Is niet makkelijk om surfskate pompen te leren. Vandaag klikte het eindelijk op een tennisbaan. Wat helpt is jezelf te filmen. Ondanks dat ik de gang erin kan houden met mijn benen en heupen moet ik nu aan mijn armen gaan werken. Kijk ook naar Kale Brock en Loaded Boards (how to pump ..). Succes gewenst vanuit Los Angeles (mijn nieuwe woonplaats sinds 2005).

Great video Shane! Been following you for 2 years and you are definitely the ultimate surfskate teacher!

[@sebastiansauer3375]

Thank you for this video. I have been watching it over and over again and today it was the first time that I made it. For me the trick was to do full 360 degree turns on each side, before I always lost speed and stopped at some point.

[@KitesiteBr]

I am so motivate to improve that when ever I watch your videos I feel like getting my surfskate and go outside to practice it. I am a beginner, not able to perform an loop yet but I will get there. You are an excellent teacher and your tutorials are helping a lot. Thanks so much for sharing!!

[@astrodweeb2638]

Simply the best infinity loop tutorial I have seen. Of course, I feel that way whenever I see any of your tutorials!

[@pourquoi1273]

You are the BEST teacher! Using elastic strip is so smart ❤

[@Laidukey]

Wow this is an awesome tutorial! Really good explanation of the body mechanics!

[@minaskalarakis9932]

Shane, one of the best tutorials i have ever seen... thumbs up!!!

[@ohokcool]

It’s beautiful man, great show and thank you so much for telling us how you do it! ❤

[@DeniseNepraunig]

That's an amazing video Shane! Thank you so much! Gave me a lot of input for my front- and backside turns!

[@seanparker571]

Really great content Shane. Best on KZbin. Thanks. This is literally the secret to efficient human movement.

[@Natalie-jb2rw]

Your videos are the best I have ever seen to this topic. This helps me enormously to become better. Thank you very much for this. Greetings from Germany

[@kkhan8]

Amazing, the multiple repetitions really do drive the points home. Thank you for the tutorial

[@ManuelSimonato]

I LOVE YOUR TUTORIALS! Your explanation is fantaaastic, and now I love surskating even more! Thank you! 🙏🏻 Keep going! :)

[@MatanLevkowich]

Man, this tutorial really helped me to fix a problem with the backside entry. Really appreciate your content!

[@sonvardy261]

Dude I don't know if you noticed, but at 8:13 right when you say "Bam-bam-bam" a bird outside literally chirps 3 times along with you, it's kind of incredible.

[@ry26ry26ry26]

Thank you for this helpful video. This is a complicated thing to explain and you really nailed it.

[@patrickviard114]

Excellent ! Super tuto, belle décomposition des mouvements, très utile. Mille mercis.

[@niesterkrew5303]

Im finally starting to actualy get some speed coming out of my turns! Thank you so much for posting this

[@yoonsikkim8611]

8:13 Perfect harmony with a bird

[@sebsurfdio]

Salut Shane cette vidéo est vraiment top, tout comme l'ensemble de ton oeuvre ! J'ai commencé le surf skate il y a peu de temps, ta chaine est fantastique !

[@shanelai2515]

Merci beaucoup. Bon ride à toi !

[@Gruntcakes69]

What a fantastic tutorial 👌🏼 I’ve been waiting for this to drop. The feet on floor instruction was really useful and great verbal throughout. Nice one 🤙🏽

[@dewindoethdwl2798]

I’m glad your stance is same as mine. I find “translating” ideas shown opposite stance mind boggling.

[@dash9655]

Just replace youtube in the url with mirrorthevideo and it mirrors it. For example, to see this video in a regular stance: www.mirrorthevideo.com/watch?v=5hW4OOgC2A0

[@philippmarre9167]

Great Tutorial Shane! Will try it today. Thx and greetz from Germany. U helped me a lot so far. Keep on Mate!

[@hamishmctiaigh4363]

Great video mate, helped a ton. Understanding ones own body mechanics isn't as easy as it sounds

[@marknelson6348]

Best explanation yet. Just got you a new sub. Really enjoy your videos!

[@KarlRohde]

Legend. Super practical. Got some work to do!

[@rickycat8241]

Very helpful! I'm an absolute beginner and in this video you taught me the Basis! Thank you, man! 😄

[@jamespowrie6793]

Hi, will changing to higher durometer wheels with hopefully less friction in a garage setup, make this easier to learn.

[@shanelai2515]

The change in friction to lose less speed in that particular context is extremely negligible. Going for wheels (99a) that are too hard might cause unintentional slides. You actually want great hold to be able to push through the turn really hard and still grip. At this particular speed, it is 99% technique and timing. Hope that helps 😊

[@jamespowrie6793]

@@shanelai2515 thanks that’s really helpful. I videoed myself today and discovered that my stance was narrow, and I was not compressing or rotating nearly as much as I thought I was. On the positive side, these are also the bad habits I want to fix in my surfing, so at least I have reproduced the problem on the surf skate 😊. And forgot to say thanks for your brilliant video tutorials.

[@robert-bw1du]

Awesome explanation!! Thank you so much :)

[@chrisz.9974]

Do you have any other videos explaining the “back” pump? I keep having issues with that.

[@alexlj09]

I find its really hard to accelerate in backside turns. My front side is so easy but back side has very little propelling power

[@99kittens]

I have the same issue.

[@Frenchmelodymaker]

Liked !!! Such a great tutorial, thanks ! Could you consider doing a tutorial on cutbacks ? I think I don’t put enough weight on my back foot to lift the front of my surfskate, any ideas ???

[@foodboy767]

Great tutorial. Can you link to the skate backpack shown in the background? Thanks!

[@shanelai2515]

This is the company I got it from m.facebook.com/hawsurfskatebag/

[@spkay6317]

Great tutorial! Thanks from the UK!

[@GenePavlovsky]

A couple of times when I moved my way too much backwards, I ended up on my ass, and the board shooting out from under me. It didn't happen for a while now, so I guess I have learned to avoid going so much back, but still there's a bit of fear inside, that it may happen again. Any tips to prevent this?

[@rickydasler6354]

Plenty of great info to work on with this one. Thanks heaps.

[@_AbUser]

Dude, what place should i trying to seat making back side?

[@jivadaya6439]

Superb! Very helpful and enjoyable.

[@savedrage1791]

Struggling to get it in 1 pump. Cheers for the vid!

[@broduction8835]

Great tutorial! Started from frontside and succeeded but stuck on a backside. My body just doesn’t work as it should 😢

[@antoninoioio]

is the front-mid-back weighting also applicable to surfing turning on a wave?

[@shanelai2515]

I'm not good at surfing. I can't speak on that

[@alliebullivant6196]

Man I am new to surfskating and I’ve been watching your infinity loop videos on repeat. But why do I end up slowing down or grinding to a halt when I turn, esp oh balm backside turns? I seem to lose speed when I try to do the infinity loop

[@christiankoschil6917]

I've been riding a stock Slide Swallow (33″x 10.25″x 18″ WB) for several months (love it), but does my WB and length hold me back from making tighter turns? I'm 6' tall 80 kg. I want a snappier/faster setup.

[@raknin]

Excellent video. Explain in details. Just need practice and practice...😂

[@surfskateandtennis]

hey Shane, do you think it is feasible to do the infinity loop with the Decathlon Longboard Oxelo Carve 540? thanks

[@shanelai2515]

I never tried. But I think it will be harder. More articulate trucks makes the infinity loop easier. YOW, aquilo, spiceskate, long island etc

[@surfskateandtennis]

@@shanelai2515 thanks for your answer! is it correct to turn the shoulders in the opposite direction to where we want to go when entering the turn? I suppose it is to release them at the exit to generate speed? it feels un-natural to not look where we want to go thanks

[@shanelai2515]

@thomaseuget5323 correct. It's the concept wind-unwind/ coil-uncoil/ compress-expand. To generate torque 1 way, we need store up potential energy. Still look where you need to turn. Unwind as you turn. How fast and much is situation dependent

[@surfskateandtennis]

@@shanelai2515 thank you

[@aleferraz78]

amazing explanation... tks

[@gs.daniel87]

Thx. How tall are your legs and how much distance your wheelbase have? I bought a surfskate but i came to the conclusion that i can't spread enough my legs to mimic my natural surf stance

[@letsgoletsgoletsgoletsgoletsgo]

hey Shane , what if you put 2 carver CX trucks on to 1 board? both facing front

[@shanelai2515]

It won't create a turning arc. Both will turn in the same direction

[@logicmonkeyuk]

Awesome teaching Shane. If the ground was rougher would you be decompressing earlier? I feel as though I give impulse when I'm worried the board is going to stall rather than waiting and waiting like you do. I have many more faults than just this, of course 🙂

[@shanelai2515]

Hey ! If the ground is more icy, you simply decompress softer (or earlier to spread the force output over a longer period of time) 😊

[@freedomnichoy]

this really helped me a lot! Thanks mate

[@BeagleFerretTime]

If someone said that they were gonna do smooth figures 8's in that garage over and over again, I would call them delusional.

[@markdavenport356]

Is it unrealistic to try this on a 36.5” Carver Tyler 777 with the rather tight factory settings on the C7 front truck?

[@shanelai2515]

My guess is it would be really hard, borderline impossible, but if you never try, you never know

[@markdavenport356]

Does loosening the C7 make pumping & looping easier?

[@shanelai2515]

@@markdavenport356 not too tight that you have force your bodyweight to engage the rails and not too loose that there is no rebound.

[@markdavenport356]

Thanks! Oh, BTW you’re the best, & I’ve checked out a LOT of surf skate vids. If I lived within 1,000 miles of Melbourne I’d be trying to figure out how to get a lesson from you .
