"If you are still watching this, chances are you are not ready for that". Truer words have never been spoken!

[@northwestadvrider5638]

That cracked me up too! LOL

[@smacdougall100]

Was pretty stoked after watching the first bit of the vid thinking; "Hey, I can do that!". That thought disappeared as the obstacles became bigger & harder, lol. Really appreciate the effort you put into producing these Pat, thx so much 👍👍.

The rail slide was so cool!

[@garretthorner]

[@dannynelson1213]

Can’t wait to watch this cheers for the tutorials pat

[@jonbraid2520]

Great advice and that flick turn was crazy.

[@TheFrog767]

I am actually going to watch it again. Just not ready for that. 😆🍻

[@billmoxon9506]

Awesome and very valuable tutorial! Thank you very much for this content! 👌👍

Yet another great / important video! As a judge for the worlds, I called out dabs on the best toe pushes. I also called out the professional landscapers, especially when they thought I wasn't watching. Whether in Duluth MN or Tennessee being a section judge was stressful, educational and entertaining.

Nazi checker! Haha as long as you are consistent with everyone all day is what matters most. Part of the game is reading the checkers to see what you can and can’t get away with. It’s even worse now with no stop at world rounds.

[@dieseljo2]

@@PatSmage I was very consistent, the way I would expect to be judged. Although I think this upset mister Lampkin... Although he was always yelling at Dougie or someone ; )

[@bradwhitcomb1984]

Did not see the rail slide coming, hahaha

Always like the humor in your videos :-)

[@emre600rr]

awesome vid.. thanks a lot broo.. could u also explain foot position in all techniques ?? ( for ex: am i need to stay on brake when jumping etc?.. to avoid accidently hit brakes after landing ) also i jumped when my foot on brake and after landing i hit accidently brake pedal and after that im out of control and dislocated my right finger :) )

[@PatSmage]

Ouch, heal up! Foot position is tricky, probably enough for a whole video. But being able to move your foot when needed helps a lot. You don’t want to hover over it too much when you take off, but you have to be ready to move it in case you need it when you land. But sometimes slipping the clutch and hitting the rear tire in the right spot is enough. It’s good to practice moving it on and off the brake in different situations, even mid splatter.
