The Secret To MASTERING Blunt Fakies!

[@brailleskateboarding]

We are sorry to hear about your injury!

[@xenocloud6939]

And im glad to see Braille keeps up with Chad. That's sick 🤙

[@Doorito_]

XenoCloud they’re Scientologists brother which is funny considering your username

[@daylanmiller1156]

@@Doorito_ wait what? All of the Braille guys are of the same religion. And that religion being Scientology? How does that even make sense?

[@Doorito_]

@@daylanmiller1156 Just look up Aaron Kyro scientology commercial, ironically it's scientology that came up with the "sponsored skater from the bay area" thing first. it's all a ploy to keep kids buying the dumb merch so that the parents never realize where their money actually ends up after paying braille. If the parents knew they were donating to scientology there would be a boycott, but their audiance is too young to know what's happening.

[@Doorito_]

@@daylanmiller1156 Steve Berra is also a scientologist which means some of the money made at the berrics goes to scientology, because they "helped" him.

[@olpner]

You're such an inspiration man. Just want you to know that. I've learnt tons of stuff from your miniramp videos and keep comming back to your content because it's genuine stuff. Wish you all the luck with your knee and sick nollie varial flip to blunt fakie!

[@thelolrus7491]

Sorry to hear about the injury, hope you're able to achieve your goal before surgery! As always, thanks for the tips

[@ChadCaruso]

Appreciate that

[@superlusa]

Sorry to hear that Chad! Get well soon! You ll come back stronger!

[@mindfulskateboarding3693]

I’m working with a 5 foot concrete mini ramp and a 2 foot concrete quarter ramp with no platform. Even with a helmet I’ve only had the guts to do a couple rock to fakies on the 5 foot. Hopefully I’ll eventually get to blunts! Good luck with your recovery and 50 new tricks

[@steventhehistorian]

Rock fakie on a 5ft ramp is no small thing. Guys like Chad make it look like no big deal because they're insanely good. But to us mortals, 5ft is still a pretty long and scary way to fall lol.

[@mindfulskateboarding3693]

@@steventhehistorian so true

[@bobfrancis6758]

Size is all relative. Falls on bigger stuff are usually not as bad because you fall into transition and not to flat. Seems counter intuitive I know, but good luck!

[@Mostly_Szyslak]

Rest up, these videos are such a valuable learning tool. Stay positive, get well, keep thrashing... and may the skate force be with you.

[@AmputeeAdele]

Sending love n healing vibes from the UK 🇬🇧 across the pond Chad, hope the surgery goes well and wishing you a good recovery dude 🙏😊❤

[@arupp513]

DAMN! I just found your channel a couple of weeks ago and have already learned 10 new mini tricks (big thanks to you). Heal quick man and thanks again for all your work.

[@jesserigby5070]

Hay Chad what helped me learn Blunt fakies was manual up and over the copin and back in Love your trick tips keep it up

[@scottmccrimmon1]

I look forward to your videos while you’re off the board bro - always interesting hearing you talk about stuff 👊🏼 most relatable youtuber

[@vxnhoy6268]

i’ve been trying blunt to fakies for about 6 months now, sprained my ankle and deeply bruised the bone in my foot. kinda hard to build courage for the trick again. i’m gonna try to manny out of the blunt stall a little more. such an inspiration!

[@rorofilmz2843]

My boy in the helmet in the back ground with the major support !! Haha

[@LaurenRigby276]

Sorry to hear about your injury Chad, hope to see some videos through out the recovery

[@max0r71]

Hey Chad!, Shout out from downunder, Australia! Your vids have helped me and the boys(7and9) get through lockdown, built a small quarterpipe in the garage and working through your 10 basic miniramp tricks with them. semi-proud as a 90s skater to be up to the intermediate stuff :D I had surgery for Lateral meniscus bucket handle tear 2 years back, from a combination of jiujitsu and prob skating back in the day. Recovery can take some time but you'll be alright, push through the pain to get your leg straight in the days after the surgery, focus on the physio, let it heal and you'll be back skating in no time :)

[@ChadCaruso]

Thanks man and I love to hear that you and your kids are shredding.. keep killing it

[@bloom151]

THANKS. I watched your previous video on blunt to fakie and got pretty close. Excited to try the manny in manny out

[@ojderrick5632]

Wishing you health and peace of mind through recovery!

[@jurgasbielinis2130]

Nice tip! Rock to fakie to manual is good prep for blunt fakie to manual Swift recovery!

[@davepanther6378]

the mini ramp master … 😍 your commitment to skating is unreal good luck with you op and stay safe dude …

[@DuSTonUTube]

I wish for a speedy recovery Chad, allways nice to get new tips from you. This blunt to fakie is one of the tricks I've been strugeling with, hopefully this will help me nail it eventually. Cheers!

[@saladz3657]

One of the most fun tricks

[@willgallacher4739]

i love that deck graphic, never seen it before

[@andrewrawitch8138]

I hope you have a fast recovery! Having been there myself knee injuries suck. Make sure to stay consistent on the physical therapy. As for a trick it'd be dope to see a lazer flip into something.

[@phlj]

never seen your videos before. Watching this makes me want to come skate with you and try crazy tricks all day :D thank you

[@bobcatransom]

So so sorry about your knee man. Even if just recuperation and daily life post surgery, would be welcome and unique content and I’m sure would still get a bunch of views. Be well, and here’s to a quick recovery!

[@Ollie_too_big256]

It’s crazy how good you are at mini ramp skating

[@morphosis7655]

Chad all the best this month, have lots of fun! All the best for your operation and recovery 🙏

[@KyleAndersonSkates]

Damn Chad! Hope you dont hurt yourself even more leading up to the operation!

[@ProgressSkateboarding]

Sorry to hear about your injury, Chad. I can only get blunts to rock fakie so I'll give this a go :)

[@el_burritoslapper]

You’re a legend chad! Try blunt nose stall reverts, halfcab blunt halfcab flip, fakie flip noseblunt, fakie varial flip noseblunt or something like that

[@c0nekii]

finally got these semi consistent today! for me it’s a lot easier to get a good pop and landing with the curve of the ramp instead of manualing back in which really sketches me out. i was trying pivot fakies (i’m still getting the hang of bs 5-0s so prob not a good idea haha) and it was really hard to get over the fear of hanging up when manualing back in so i started trying blunts and it was way less scary. especially after just landing a few with one foot on so u know u can clear it! my main problem besides the fear was i was pressing too much on the tail when i got in so there wasn’t much room to get a good pop but if u try to leave a little room in between the tail and the ramp when u get into it makes it waaay easier to pop it. anyway love ur vids man learned fs 50-50s on the mini today too and the tip to get all the way on the top of the ramp really helped🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@derekpigozzo9022]

Nice!! Good luck with your surgery!!

[@natobounader1421]

You’re a wizard bro, my blunts are still very rusty. Also bro that no good about your knee, hope you have a speedy recovery after your surgery.

[@futronixindustries]

dope as always bro, hello from Sydney, Australia.

[@iuploadulike]

Good luck on your road to recovery! Thanks for the tips and vid my dude!!

[@jamescastle1327]

Just came across this video and really enjoyed it. I can a backside blunt but never to fakie. I'll definitely try to manual in next time.

[@ChadCaruso]

Get it 💪🏼

[@ToniLovesSkateboarding]

Damn! sorry about the injury. that trick was insane btw! I've only landed 1 blunt to fakie and only because I was doing on of your 10 tricks videos so I was forced to land it, hahaha! here's to a speedy recovery!

[@spencersmithshredtilldead]

Stay up brotha! Good luck on the tricks and the rehab!

[@shredorama]

That was amazing. The very first one you got into clean - it's over.

[@MrNamaikisaru]

Hope your knee heals quickly after the operation. Guy in the background on the mini totally rooting for you to land it!

[@ryanhoward8238]

Hey Chad, love your videos man! Blunt kick flip would be sick

[@Rufusdos]

He did that already in the US tour series!

[@herrlogi]

Just as im trying to learn blunt fakie :)

[@garybaker3338]

Backside crooked grinds are rare on mini ramps. Chad, can you pull it off?

[@danielbernatchez3216]

Good work man ! keep up the style

[@felipefregginrules]

Killing it Chad

[@lozman2305]

All the best with your knee op buddy! You’ll be back stronger. Maybe i’ll aim to try and finish your advanced mini ramp tricks by the time you’re back!

[@urisilva]

please try 360 flip to nosepick! I saw this trick and seems prety awesome

[@JOSSHBLoris]

Broly Smokes that makes so much sense. It’s seems almost subconscious. I wanna try that now. Thanks for the tips👌👌👌

[@TCSkateboard]

In the thumbnail, I saw you doing a rock to fakie... After i saw that it wasn't. It's a blunt. Good trick

[@YouFit100]

Heal fast bruv, we'll be waiting for you on your return! 🤙

[@lumdisumdi]

I am sorry to hear about your injury Chad. Take it easy! You may want to do a series documenting the process of recovery. I remember looking through KZbin when I injured my wrist this summer and there were pretty much no videos giving ideas about what to do when you're on a break. It could be like: find a hobby! watch skate videos!... something like that =)

[@TridentArmyy]

Good tutorial chad god 🦈🔱🔥🤙🏽

[@windowman7042]

You and ben degros both out. I am lost while i recover with this broken ankle and destroyed ligaments! Feel better soon

[@frankiesunswept]

So sick homie, cheers to your skating and your channel :)

[@tylerv8233]

Dope, since you got blunts on lock some more variations during this month would be awesome. Maybe treflip blunt, nollie flip blunt, or heelflip blunt, halfcab flip blunt, anything you're feeling.

[@imagemusic4241]

Hey Chad, Tough news man, sorry to hear that. Wish you a speedy recovery and be well. As for the blunt, yeah, good tip. I myself have seen in person one other guy who did it like that all the time, but I can never get it. I can blunt to rock stall; which is really a cool trick because I can pop out really high before getting the board back to that rock stall. And, I can also blunt to pull out. I've also done some nice variations on the blunt pull out. It is a fun trick. But I still have that fear of blunt fakie into the ramp. I actually tore my ankle ligament on a blunt fakie attempt just as I was about to learn it. I am presently learning back 5-0 grind revert/fakie, so I suppose that will help with this concept. By the way, Really Cool idea, "fifty tricks before surgery". That's what you should tittle each installment with the # of the trick. I'll be watching! be careful man. Best, -Dave

[@XSProgression]

Insane trick

[@ollymckenna5605]

Always great videos man 💯 big ups

[@teiqo]

Nice learn, look forward to 49 more. How about a fakie bigflip to blunt?

[@ChadCaruso]

I’ll kick a few around.. I’ll be doing a bunch of the tricks over on my Instagram

[@teiqo]

@@ChadCaruso nice will be following along, good luck. Hey was meaning to mention your epic 50 tricks in 50 states challenge inspired me. So I did 50 days in a row at age 39. Heres the vid kzbin.info/www/bejne/oWGafX54ZsuXec0

[@NOAH1995able]

wish you a speedy recovery man! love your videos, super hyped everytime you upload a new one! by the way, great to see that you turn something as annoying as a knee injury into some sick challenge like this!! dont have a new trick for you but im a big fan of your nosepicks, so maybe you could play around with some nosepick variations and see what works for you!

[@electriclly]

Your tips are gas!! I'm sending u good vibes with everythin' :D

Yewwwww! Lets see a switch blunt to kickflip or heelflip out!

ugh. injuries. im 50 yrs old and fallings not like i remember. thanks for great videos. i pretty much miniramp focused these days so these are great.

Sweet tip

[@stijnheijdra3973]

good advice dude!

[@chopwoodcarrywater49531]

That's unfortunate my man. I'm bummed I can't skate just from rolling my ankle last week. Hope your surgery goes well and hopefully you have a safe and speedy recovery!

[@judderzm2252]

That was wicked

[@therapist6328]

Hopefully the rehab is good Chad. I am 48 and my bones and joints let me know when I need to take a day or two off the board.

[@treyturner1778]

I tore my layers meniscus in my right knee, had to have surgery and couldn’t skate for 6 months. It’s tough but it makes you hungrier to skate and come back better than ever. Good luck, homie

[@treyturner1778]

Lateral*

[@redpimpletonthesimpleton8812]

so sick man didnt see it coming. how about nollie back 270 front pivot fakie

[@ChadCaruso]

There’s a few variations of that trick on my Instagram @chad_caruso

[@54N105]

Do you have a bucket handle tear? I just had surgery about a month ago for torn ACL and a bucket handle tear on my meniscus, slowly getting stronger, but still about 4 to 5 months out from being able to hop back on a board. I wish you a speedy recovery and I am looking forward to trying this tip out when I am back on the board.

[@kellysearancke4554]

So sick dude

[@Stallagmite]

The varial to blunt is a pretty sick looking trick. Seems scarier on a spine and the board also gets lost more 😁

[@scottlandb6579]

Dude skateboarded all my life and fakie anything especially blunts are terrifying. Always have been for me at least. The crazier part is amd I’m guessing your doing it on that part of the ramp cause it’s a foot or so lower than the rest. But it’s on a somewhat spine. Nutty but awesome. Just started riding again after a 15 year hiatus & at 48 I’m trying to get back bs disasters and it’s crazy how much more sketch I am at a later age. But it’s also strange all the muscle memory is still there etc. but it moves faster than my body and brain can keep up. But after a few hours of riding you start getting really comfortable w/ it and things start clicking. Stoked on your videos. MOTIVATION.

[@Rufusdos]

Dude, I'm 47 and skate with a crew of 40 somethings. We have a fucking blast and progress. It's like for two hours a week we're just teenagers. Totally get what you're saying about that golden time when you're fully warmed up, before the tiredness sets in! The next day kind of hurts, especially if I forget to stretch after skating, but it's such a good thing in my life.

[@scottlandb6579]

@@Rufusdos funny we do the same thing 3-5 of us ride 2 are 56-58 and actually still good. I’m 49 and can do blunts again but only to 50/50 or 5/0 or to fakie rock. But same thing Saturday mornings for a 2-4 hour session. It is rad when all of a sudden you’re in it, typically right before you get spent. But that’s when you think about nothing and are at your best. Glad you are riding. Keep it up all of you. Fun now with skateparks everywhere.

[@Rufusdos]

@@scottlandb6579 High five!

[@kasnas]

Why ya gotta be so beasty! Killing it buddy. Can you do a fifty on the mini, 180 on the coping and then back in. I wanna say either Bam or Kerry Getz did that in an old toy machine video

[@colemanlewis5080]

While learning this trick I have such trouble committing, any tips?

[@thecrewskating1222]

want to see you do a double kickflip into rock and roll out and do a revert at the end

[@lennyeacuvetto8146]

Front side noseblunt stall kickflip out

[@typerightseesight]

this is that one trick I CANT FREAKING DO. lol. Ive done one and it took like 400 tries. when i was a kid. i can do them with the nose grab cheat. lol. good vid!

[@typerightseesight]

that lil ramp is whats up! they dont have one probably anywhere in the midwest. lol. its like a park rule around here where if you can kick it into someones head they wont make ramps like that. its gotta be like 4 feet min. so everythings dangerous. because its the east coast. gl with that surgery ;p

[@kushedout7]

Good shit!🔥🔥

[@foreroa]

Another good tip I heard for popping out blunt fakie and having fear of hanging up on front truck, is to pretend you're doing a blunt fakie to nose stall. That forces you to get front truck over the coping and keeps your weight inside the ramp.

[@Spridium1Jono]

That sounds like a really good strategy. Thanks for sharing I’m gonna give it a try.

[@lecango]

Sorry for the injury. Hope you get well for next season. Quick question: how did you injure your knee? I'm asking this because last year I started to fell pain on the inside of my knee (back leg), after a skate session. I didn't fall, I assume it was because of too many tail popping for tricks and weak leg and hip muscles.

[@ChadCaruso]

I’m not sure how I injured my meniscus, I’ve been skating with a bit of pain for a while now. I had a clicking in the front when I bent down, pain in the back outside part of the knee and a bit of throbbing after a long session.

[@d77droid]

Heal fast Chad! Stream some skate 3 for us! be good mate, you are a true soul.

[@azazelreficulmefistofelicu7158]

I wish you a full recovery faster than the doctor expected.

[@baka-crossing]

the slip out was a big reason why I stopped seriously trying to fakie noseblunt. Doesn't matter if you've got a good lip or something mellow - you overshoot just a bit while putting the weight down to lock in and your board is flying out and you're sliding down the transition on your stomach or side.

[@electriclly]
