The KEYS to STAIRS & GAPS!

In this video I showcase some of my favorite flip tricks down stairs or gaps and give some TIPS along the way ! Learn your tricks on flat and get them DIALED before trying to take it to a gap or stair set. Work your way up from small gaps or stairs first before taking it to something big ! Always learn at your own pace and be super cozy with whatever trick you want to take to a gap !

P.S Sorry about the audio cut out before my nollie flip. Apparently it didnt render properly and i didnt notice till it was uploaded. I believe I said " im gonna do nollie flip becuase its more difficult for me than nollie heels". or something along those lines haha...THANKS for watching !

[@jaredknapik]

I honestly assumed you said something extremely obscene 😂

[@trashvomitstudios]

In cold weather, I store my board next to a heater. I have to skate in Northern Canadian winters that last 6-8 months. Sometimes on ice and in snow even. I found that storing my board next to a heater keeps my board fresh for months and my bearings stay reasonable. So far I have not yet had a broken bearing this winter.

[@tomasta]

@@trashvomitstudios damn solid tip ! THANKS

[@tomasta]

@@jaredknapik 🤣🤣🤣

[@thinglizzy2718]

I agree Nollie heel is easier than Nollie flip

[@Solaxer]

Tom Asta dropping that knowledge for the community, real one

[@lilspittin313]

& so much steez

[@armin38822]

whoever told him to start a youtube thing is a legend...what a great skater to have in this world

[@fifthgear93]

Watching you flick and pop your tricks that high makes me wanna go out skate so much. Motivates me to focus on my ankle recovery so I can go out and skate and push myself again. This video was great really. More gaps and more fliptricks Tom! This is extremely enjoyable to watch.

[@skateanddadstroy1982]

I fuckin love these videos. Pure realness and proper talent. Big respect Tom.

[@tomasta]

THANK YOU !

[@ehill1536]

Getting a good feel of the spot, before trying anything, is crucial. Under estimation gave me one of my worse bails. Me, thinking I'm a badass, just launched myself down a huge flight of stairs nearly sight unseen. Came up short, rolled my ankle near 180, smacked my head at the bottom on the sidewalk and slid on my face for about a foot. This is why even pros will ride up a few times and walk up and down stairs.

[@stan_solo_ill]

Thanks for these videos Tom ❤️ amazing skater, great person, nice mellow content ❤️ huge props much love keep safe

[@VMac3]

14:58 my guy taking heat from the ledge right there!

[@mattjones5328]

thanks to tom for creating quality content that has thought put into it so the audience experience is actually fun

[@RetoBuri]

man this is so fun to watch, thank you!! ☺️🙏🥳

[@christopherlopez2491]

Thank you so much for making these videos. This is 100% my dream content. These are super helpful and super inspirational. This year marks 25 years skateboarding has been in my life (I haven’t skated for some time cause of injuries and recently I be been in school). After school (in May) I intend to get a Christmas complete and skate my ass off for my 34th bday. Much love and respect!

[@rackyw00t]

I love this dude Og pro with basically every trick under the belt and keeps it simple trying help the guys coming up. I love it, always gets motivated to skate. Thanks man I appreciate you Tom👊🏻👊🏻

[@doodermang]

Tom’s flat ground warm up made me rethink my skating. Thanks Tom ❤

[@jmariwyatt2582]

Push yourself to do those harder tricks . We are here for it! Keep it up G

[@TheAdaptiveMaritimer]

Glad to hear about the Nashville trip, I'm glad to have a fellow skateboarder going through this KZbin thing too, wasn't really getting an traction on the twitch thing

[@breisfm]

Thanks for the content Tom. You're an experienced humble skater that uses KZbin as a motivation to keep improving on the sport... In the end we all win, because the content you put here is full of tips and knowledge from a pro skater. Been watching and loving your content. Thanks and keep killing it!

[@tomasta]

I appreciate that dude ! THANKS for watching ! its been a fun ride so far !

[@YouilAushana]

The magic of skateboarding is that it naturally humbles you and put things into perspective.

[@mstunameow]

a lot of really good insights thanks tom. when i figured out keeping my head/shoulders centered over my feet (or at least...trying to) it leveled up my skating, it helps with pretty much all tricks...it makes you feel so much more balanced and in control and then landing comes more naturally..still learning to do it and save it deep in my muscle memory

[@villiantwo]

man, i wish i had this type of skate advice when i was a kid. ..im 40 now. there were now skateparks, no internet to get tips from. just vhs slow motion was the only way to try to figure things out. .. you're doing a awesome job tom! keep it up. ... kids dont know how lucky they are for this content.

[@erastotrevino5654]

So sick, I enjoyed this video, giving a different perspective on skating stairs

[@jimoCSC]

It was a bit awkward at first but once you get into explaining the technique behind the tricks this was great! Keep it going Tom.

[@michaelfurlong4384]

Love your content man. Your attitude and approach really helps me progress, especially as someone who started skating at 25 with scoliosis. Every time I read your name, selective dyslexia kicks in, so thanks very much Tomato Pasta 😂😂

[@maxochavez5854]

Dropping knowledge and clips for us hell yeah Much love from Vegas 👑🙏🏼

[@jojoconcep]

Knowing how to bail is so important !!!! Bless great vid

[@brocktoniwaoka3683]

Hell yeah tom! Your channel is quickly becoming my favorite go-to for skate content! Keep the vids coming!

[@tomasta]

Awesome THANK YOU !

[@Spridium1Jono]

Awesome video. Favourite one so far for sure.

[@nightmarereject]

That heelflip head thing is a great tip. Heelfips were my go to when I was younger. I tried it over a gap and got really hurt. (Torn ligaments) ever since then they have haunted me for that reason.

[@retrogore_videos]

Love watching tfunk do gaps! This video was rad, great tips from a master 🤘🤠🖤 much love tom

[@tomasta]

THANK YOU !

[@moldyrefrigerator]

This was cool seeing every combination down the stairs. Mine is hodgepodge, I have nollie back heels and nollie front heels down stairs, but not nollie heel…but I can still nollie flip down stairs, or switch heel them. But not nollie backside flip, only nollie fs flip…It makes sense in my head somehow 😂

[@eyezahrennorb3197]

ya bro Andrew is still killing it very motivating ... sick video tho bro keep em up

[@amirstanfield]

My new fav skate ripper...good looking sir just got back into skating from quitting in 2007 and you really been keeping me hyped to skate...apreciate u...and im 40. Ps fav skater from back n the day was Tom Penny/Kenny Anderson

[@kistelmodus43]

Such a sick video! 😍 Tbh I waited for a Nollie Inward Heel 😀

[@tomasta]

ohhhh i should do that one day. i dont think ive done it down this set yet !

[@nobbytheover30beginnerskat59]

That fs flip is pretty stylish with the 90 catch and bring it around . Looks great 👍

[@tomasta]

thank you!

[@kenfriedle7743]

Another awesome video dude thanks, one of my favorite gap skaters has to be Ryan Decenzo

[@dsrree]

I've been waiting for a video like this, great tips 🙏. If I had to pick a favorite gap skater it would probably be Chris Joslin currently, but Aurelien Giraud is pretty crazy too. Both throw down huge tricks down huge stuff.

[@tomasta]

joslin is a beast !

[@big-qb9lt]

Your style is my favorite，like this video

[@PhryTheBreather]

Appreciate you bro. Your style and consistency is dope and your communication is relatable

THANK YOU !

[@odkobataa2478]

Very informative contents. Thank You Tom Asta. From Mongolia

[@tomasta]

awesome thank you !

[@DazedCutty]

You called it bro. Reynolds was my fav hitting stairs and gaps. His kick flips and frontside flips are beautiful. Of course Tom Penny as well. The best steez ever on kick flips and frontside flips, and also switch flips and switch frontside flips. My good homie who passed when he was 17 had kickflips and frontside flips identical to Penny. I’m 38 now. He was 1 year younger then me. I always thought he would go pro. RIP Allen.

[@tomasta]

penny got the steez for sure! ahh damn man! im sorry for your loss

[@GabrielMoreira-lp8jj]

Another dope video! windy again, kkkk, keep up!

[@tomasta]

always windy lately ! at least its skateable ! THANKS for watching !

[@montanafreecs7389]

love watching these vids & then skating with Asta in XL

[@tomasta]

hell yea !

[@matthewbrandon267]

Great tips man, that nollie camera angle was sick...fav. gap skaters/stair Chima , Herman, Mario can fly down some shit to lol, Joslin....there are so many I love

[@tomasta]

[@beanberg]

the way you describe tricks just makes so much sense

[@tomasta]

Thanks man!

[@benk602]

Stopped skating gaps after an ankle injury but these tips are real helpful. Goin to try this new approach. thank you!

[@tomasta]

Glad i can help, hope the ankle is healed up!

[@lvt8studio]

Ah no wonder there was no video last week 😉 All good Tom. This one was again insightful. Anyone aiming to skate gaps/stairs will definitely get something out of this video. Looking forward to that secret edit you couldn't talk about 😉

[@tomasta]

THANK YOU !

[@taLLdavidproduction]

Man that switch flip and switch heel were so cleeean

[@erik.kangas]

So stoked to see that sw fs heel

[@skaternoahz]

Let’s go tom I love skating stairs and can’t wait to skate them this summer

[@tomasta]

get there noah! thanks for watching homie !

[@jaciobe]

Loving these vids dude. Noticed alot of younger newer skaters just flying of stairs and gaps with no pop. Pop is so much better!!!

[@tomasta]

pop will always look the best in my opinion ! THANKS for watching !

[@LockinProfits]

Great video !! Keep up the great content 👏 👌

[@tomasta]

THANKS i plan on it !

[@turtle4614]

I was today years old when I discovered my favorite skater has his own KZbin channel. I will be binging these! 🤘🏽

[@tomasta]

sickkk ! THANKS

[@Ken120Hz]

Yooo Tom asta really appreciate this video dude I’m just getting into skating stairs. Salute bro take it easy

[@tomasta]

awesome good luck with the stairs ! hope i helped. THANKS for watching !

[@Ken120Hz]

@@tomasta very helpful video I really appreciate it 👍👍

[@AlexNiedt]

I always loved watching the OG Baker dudes skate gaps...Reynolds, Greco, Lenoce. And then there's nothing quite like watching Penny just float over something.

[@0goaway0]

Again man. You are killing it. I’m older than you and can’t even imagine having access to this as a kid. Just you being you and being real is awesome. Truly giving. We r all lucky. Keep up the good work

[@tomasta]

i appreciate the kinda words THANK YOU !

[@stephensk8549]

I love how this was a video for skating g gaps and I'm here studying the flatground at the beginning of the video lol

[@JesperLundstr0m]

Nice deck! Ive got one exacly like that for flip to boardslides, I´ve stomped them too hard but those vx boards wont snap :)

[@ross-sound-journal]

Nollie flip and tre were my go-to

[@jordans2346]

bro is super pro my goodness.. pretty rare when audio cut outs dont bother me.. this is one of those cases just because i love watching you skate so much. also, theres always just something about a nollie backside flip off something that always gets me.. its such a sick trick to watch

[@tomasta]

haha thanks ! yea i love nollie bs flips, such a good looking trick ! thanks for watching !

[@bri7757]

Before I watch this let. Me say this. What was a game changer for me was focusing on the landing in mid air. Made it so much easier. The ground didn't creep up. On me. Totally focus in the ground when olling gaps

[@jaredknapik]

Killer vid! Underrated gap skater: Corey Sheppard!
