[@EggheadJr1]

Love your tutorials! Do you think you will do an episode on skate setups/how tight/loose you want your trucks to be?

[@kimban5434]

How respectful of the man caught in your video, talented & polite!!!☺️ Thank so much for this, I’ve been saving most of your tutorials, good teaching techniques!!!💜

[@SJisReading]

Hope you bring this series back, man. I took a year off skating and am back into it now and am getting more into JB and you break every move down so well, better than I've seen before.

[@rocko5928]

I thought the first exercise was a practice drill, but you make everything look cool 😎.

[@laters_skaters]

Thank you, for sharing your sk8 knowledge. Luv the JB style. Goals. Imma practise these tomorrow (along with the Big Wheel & Monkey Walk). Great info regarding detail of shoulder rolls with the kicks 👌 *them damn pebbles and rocks 😂🙈

[@djuana8355]

[@jansanders1060]

Thanks for the great tutorial Malik!! Can you please show a series of the strut and perhaps a tip on how to keep the momentum going?? I’m good for 1-2 then lose it!!!!😝 Thanks!!

[@outtie5772]

Practice

[@ertfgghhhh]

Could u do a vid on wheel placement? When and why to place a slick wheel

[@larryhoward7217]

You think you could make some POV videos of you skating around the rink doing some of the basic JB moves? Just videos of your legs and feet at a medium or slow pace. It will make some of us feel like we are skating with you and I can learn the moves better. I am also trying to learn the edges of the skates so I can understand how the skates respond to certain moves. Thanks !

[@dirtycarpet6134]

Malik, can you also find in you heart and schedule to show how to shuffle both feet, to the beat? meaning, one skate in front and the other skate in back, but, to the beat? is usually done on the one and the two count. its a very underrated move, Thank you Sir.

[@Zade5]

I am just getting into JB I currently jam skate but want to get into JB more and was wondering what the best beginners boot I should buy

[@kinglarrrry2768]

Can’t wait for the restock in the shut up and skate shirts 💯

[@randomlyposter1974]

Could you drop a tutorial on how to one foot heel spin?

[@ertfgghhhh]

Could you teach us how to gangsta walk? There isnt a vid that exist yet

[@daturadj001]

Hola saludos desde Argentina te escribo para dicirte que me gustan estos videos tutoriales para aprender a bailar en patines y para preguntar que significa las siglas JB para saber mas de este estilo, saludos nuevamente y gracias por compartir

[@jaywade2022]

What size wheels do you use for indoor and outdoor? And what brand ?

[@scottcheg1085]

In the Cissy strut and the big wheel, when I go on to my 2 front wheels, they wobble. Is that because my trucks are to loose or I haven't gained the foot strength? Thanks for these tutorials.

[@MalikThomas]

You haven't gained the foot strength, keep practicing and apply pressure!

[@leedart]

Quick question about wheel size and why. I keep seeing almost mini wheels and wondered what the big difference they offer, and/or is it a preference...????? Maybe a segment on equipment, please.. Thxs!

[@tatyana1230]

Smaller wheels = harder/faster/slicker on smooth surfaces. They have less grip than bigger wheels intended for outside or hybrid uses. These wheels can obviously be used outdoors as well but they have no grip so you feel every crack, pebble, etc and may get stuck. Whereas bigger wheels ideally go over them and grip the surface easier. On the flip side, bigger wheels are softer and have lot of grip especially on most rink floors. They require more effort indoors. Both are doable for various purposes but smaller wheels are ideal for jb styles and rhythm skating

[@barbaramiller653]

BARBARA M. THANK YOU MR. THOMAS

[@u.s_vs_e.w]

@Malik Thomas can you please tell me how do you feel about the fo-mac wheel skates is it good or do you prefer to ride that style of wheels that slide..to move & have that control while in motion or dancing in a circle what are the best wheels at a good starting price

[@MalikThomas]

FO-Macs should give you an easier slide. I use fomacs all the time!

[@u.s_vs_e.w]

@@MalikThomas ok thanks I'm ordering some asap 💯

[@trellatkins959]

@malik Thomas what brand of skates are you skating on or what would u recommend?

[@MalikThomas]

Riedells and riedells only.

[@ogxrell6464]

Caan you teach the grapevine? Please?

[@jaynicetv640]

what skates and wheels are you using?

[@fabuloso5494]

Hey Malik, I have been watching Detroit skate and I keep seeing this move called the “Pontiac.” Can you do a Pontiac tutorial? I cannot find a tutorial for this move anywhere- 😭

[@kjcaprice80]

Family seek a Detroit legend or similar for tutorials on that ... respectfully. You're asking Malik to create an issue.

[@jessicaheard2638]

@Fabuloso I want to see Malik’s breakdown on this too! From what it looks like to me, it’s a spread eagle position with your legs and feet but alternating each side with a forward backwards transition or shifting your weight to the right side then left side. I’m still trying to connect both sides so it looks smooth 😅

[@MalikThomas]

I do the Pontiac all the time! Its in my natural skate skill set! Will do!
