That ponytail pivot tho at :58 😍 I watched that part like 5 times! 😆 Thank you for your hard work and dedication. It’s helping a lot of us newbies out here! Cute side note: My neighbor (RIP) has a daughter who looks like you so our household nickname for you is “Aria’s daddy” lol, but we like Malik just the same.

It’s dope how you provide advice to the skate world. It’s not just showing but it’s the breakdown of the step and technical aspect of it.. Keep up the gd stuff

[@denzellcosper]

What kind wheels you use outside?

[@salama13guate]

If it normal to experience pain in the inside part of my ankle while practicing the me foot pivots?

[@angelathomas6827]

We have that same cool last name remember?! Going to try these moves today

[@rawveganfran247]

Hi Malik, what wheels are best for this? Thanks ❤

[@mrmainevent1872]

Why do I feel like I need a heavily padded body suit before I try doing this? I see possible falls in my future. 😅👍

[@cherismith4344]

Is that one leg heel toe pivot on your outter wheels?

[@memphisfreestyle9018]

[@savingtogether4804]

At stage 3 for the foot on the ground, where is your weight for the first part of that turn?

[@MalikThomas]

The weight is in my leg that's being swung around. The weight is also in my grounded leg to keep me balanced.

[@groc2273]

What song is that in the beginning?

[@Steve-nm9oh]

I used to avoid the crab walk step, until you broke it down

[@Ska8in4life]
