Surfskate INFINITY LOOP | TUTORIAL and Tips

how to perform the infinity loop without stopping is all in the compression/decompression cycle with the right timing. The best infinity loop is performed with only 2 cycles (1 frontside + 1 backside) per loop.
first infinity loop tutorial where I ride different systems including the CX:

I’m a super n00b to surfskate but still wanted to try this challenge as a fun way to learn something new. This tutorial helps a lot how to aproach it! Thank you so much!!

[@powerthinkvideo]

Thanks for all your videos. I finally got the surfskate pump working tonight. It was such a great feeling and a real breakthrough. It's kind of like that magic eye puzzle where you stare at it for a long time, then you finally see the image. I was stuck doing the wiggle pump and getting kind of frustrated. I watched this video a few times and went through the steps. I finally feel how your hips drive your back heel on the heelside and push the toe on the toeside (and you kind of pull your back leg back). I appreciate you including the "don't do this" section of this video, as that's exactly what had been stuck doing - doing all the work with my front foot. Now I am driving the board with my back foot. I'm 50 years old and never skated before. Never had any interest in street or ramp skating, but I saw surfskating on youtube and decided it looked fun. I've watched a bunch of videos, and they all make it look magically easy, but as you said in one of yours, it's harder than it looks. It's a great feeling, and I look forward to smoothing out my turns.

WOW !! Best tutorial ever !! And yet, I have watched quite a few !! THANKS !!

Brah, your videos are the best. Thank you for sharing your skills and technical know how, without all the blah blah …. You make it look good and that’s how I want to surf-skate. Peace!

[@SalahFadel]

What a relaxing tutorial. Cheers !

[@alessandropeveri1782]

Good tutorial, cool how you broke it down all the phases🤙

[@jacobchen8223]

use the resistance band to practice is the smartest way I've every seen,thank you Shane

[@shanelai2515]

Glad it was helpful

[@genecatan3565]

I literally learnt pumping and basics through your videos! Now Imma step it up to the next level. Thank you so much for your tutorials dude! Keep up the awesome work! 🤙🤙🤙

[@ghemard]

Thanks you for taking the time to make and publish this video. It’s really nice that you decomposed the movement in all these steps. I believe this not only help do the infinity loop some day, but also have a better understanding of how to actually pump correctly in a surfskate. I agree with another commenter that using a different kind of music might help with making the video more fun and catchy to watch. Anyhow thanks for putting in the time and effort, it’s greatly appreciated. Subscribing now ;-)

[@brkdon]

Super tutoriels ! Merci beaucoup Shane !!!

[@Liz-pn8vq]

This is going to really help! I'm pretty sure I have the feet, knees and hips working but I've only had my board a few days and was my second time out on it earlier.....the explanation of everything is just superb! Thank you it's really going to help me in my practice 🙏🌊🏄‍♀️

[@Amatteus]

LOve your style.. Looks super cool, smooth, well done.. Congratultions and thanks for the video. I will Try.

[@kimmontaniel1101]

Excellent tutorial. Does not hurt that you're so easy to look at :)

[@boris4344]

I have a strange impression when I look at Shane riding. It seems that this positive music is playing right in his head.

Cool ,thanks 😃

[@j.k.4584]

Super, merci.

[@MrConfo]

Hi Shane, had you got the opportunity to compare the 4President 77a you use here vs 80a ? Does the rolling ability and acceleration difference is significative on flat training as you do on this video ? I use 4President 80a on Soulboardiy Meda, with Slide trucks, enough grip for me, but as i look into smaller diameter wheels to do the same practice, i think about softer duro. Maybe a great choice is to put 77a on rear truck and 80a in front, did you ever mixed different duros front/rear ?

[@Quickrex]

I'm waiting fo my Soulboardiy Adam and going to try to set up with a pair of Surf Rodz TKP 159mm on a YOW S5 adapter and using a Mellow drive electric back truck system. I'm literally Surfing 🌊 on my electric system on Bowls and pool skatepark transitions. Presently on Carver CX and that's sick so stable. So much fun that I'm like do I go Surf or do I go to the Skatepark today 😊 my biggest problem is to get enough grib and not get thrown off the freaking thing.

[@GorenkoIgor]

Nice bro, very good 🤙🏻

[@desmocharlie]

Hey Shane, What wheels are you riding in this video? Amazing btw. Just today I got my ahahah moment when I realized how to put it together and at night I found your video! Thank you!

[@shanelai2515]

Orangatang 4president. 70mm 77a 🤙🤙

[@StanMoong]

I just started learning and having trouble with backside turning 😅

[@haywardbutler33]

Hey Shane, really like your videos. I am a pro tennis coach and I think you are a really good teacher because you explore so many avenues to helping others to understand how to perform certain movements. I would like it if you could do some infinity loops on a Carver CX or similar. Keep up the good work. I saw that you had tried surfing, great fun isn't it. Before I moved to Denmark I lived in Hawaii and surfed, it is just the best fun 🙂🏄. Regards, Hayward

[@shanelai2515]

Thanks ! Yes sure can on the CX. kzbin.info/www/bejne/f322na2MlJx9hJI Here is my first infinity loop tutorial where I am riding the loaded bolsa CX.

Nice tutorial

[@_AbUser]

@shanelai2515 correct me plz if i wrong .. Trying in make a back side seat You just trying to seat squeezing your knees just a lil bit and continue to seating Your back leg later keeping the front leg the same posotion before?

[@Tomsk8Kemens]

Thank U for all your video ! I had a question , would you have preferred this deck in 34 (Adam ) or do you think it is adapted to your stence, size ? ( they both have the same WB ) I'm the same size as you and I'm wondering between the two what is your feeling ? 🙏 T. 🇫🇷

nice video Shane , do you have one yow for your line board ?

[@andreluistomaz3930]

Hi Mr. Shane! Congrats for another awesome vídeo class! How loose is your nose truck, please? Best regards, bro!

[@guybartlett9587]

Thanks

[@beckysu6628]

Thanks for the video. One question! What does it mean by avoiding letting the surfskate system generate speed for you?

[@shanelai2515]

The rebound of the spring on some surfskate systems is very strong. One can be relying too much on it

[@beckysu6628]

@@shanelai2515 ahh thank you! That explains why I can’t get the board moving on a Carver CX but can on Yow C5 😂

[@GalkinVlad]

Hello! Can your wheels contact with your deck? In extreme position?

[@palindrome06]

Is infinite loop supposed to be an advanced move? I can't maintain my speed when turning

[@MrConfo]

Hi Shane, Great video as usual. Can you please tell what wheels do you use on this video ? And have you tried Love handles Orangatang to compare with 4President ? Thanks

[@shanelai2515]

It's the orangatang 4pres 77a. Haven't tried the love handles yet Skip to the last 30s of the video to check the setup.

[@MrConfo]

@@shanelai2515 Thanks, i was not sure. You mix Carver CX rear truck with Yow S5, looks great. Your smooth style and technique are such good training to see.

[@chrisz.9974]

I have trouble generating speed on the backside.

[@endlesswaltz29]

is it hard to do with smoothstar trucks? Havent seen one on youtube doin it

[@clementmoitie4547]

Ça parait si simple ;)

[@WeslleySR]

Can you tell me which truck is the best for this?

[@shanelai2515]

Highest rebound swing arm systems such as Yow meraki, spiceskate OKTOSURF, aquilo, long island lean genesis

[@maciejgawell7673]

What is your board/gear?

[@guybartlett9587]

Are your trucks extra loose?

[@jamesryan4325]

Hey dude, love your videos. They have helped so much and made my transition to surf skating easy! Just one thing.. The music! I'm sure you could find better background music (any lo fi..) and give the elevator music a rest... Or even no music is better...

[@shanelai2515]

Haha 🤣 ok ! Will do better with the music

[@antikytheramechanism7909]

Frontside pump and backside pump are both front/mid/back weight shift?

[@shanelai2515]

Yes, except you rotate in different directions

[@riner88]

Where is your center of gravity exactly when you turn and stuff? Is it more on your back foot?

[@shanelai2515]

The centre of mass shifts throughout the turn. It starts on the front foot, gradually shifts to the back foot until the the last moment where you decompress (front, mid, back>decompress)

[@riner88]

@@shanelai2515 ok! I saw that on a different part of the video but I wasn’t sure if that was through the entire movement. Thanks for the reply!

[@interruptor]

I bet if I go to the promenade today, half the skaters will be doing this...
