JB: I've listened to so many instructors on youtube, and honestly the quality and detail in your videos are 100 times better than most. I don't understand why youtube is not ranking your channel more highly. Particularly liked your content about how to bail from manuals - that is unique. Most other channels either skip that topic or just repeat the same old stuff that everyone else is saying.

[@SkateparkLessons]

Many falls and slams are just that. Some are unavoidable and unexpected so you do the best you can when it happens. This is why skateboarding earns people’s respect. One of the best ways to avoid injury is by being alert and recognizing when to push your limit and when to just cruise. 💙🛹💙

This felt like a home renovation show maybe… have been skating 20+ yrs I was really hoping for a couple tips to get my nose manuals more solid. But there were a ton of actual tips that were completely left out- that you were obviously using in the vids. Like explaining the pinch point to your heel or toe, that allows you more balance and can help turning, like you kept doing on and off the ledge. Also explaining truck tightness would have helped a few people I’m sure, but idk, much❤️

[@SkateparkLessons]

Yes this video was for manuals only and not nose manuals, and to help people start doing them. I’m sorry if you feel it didn’t meet your standards, this video is meant to build confidence and understanding to beginners, it sounds like you would benefit more from a personalized skate lesson rather than free home renovation tutorials.

So funny unnecessary criticism. Doing a manual on a skateboard is the exact same thing as doing a manual on a bicycle. To make it like a wheelie you'd have to figure out a way to incorporate some pushes.
