Things that skaters are scared of.. SPEED WOBBLES

[@squiggleskates]

I've seen people bomb hills without bending their knees... An incredible level of skill

[@nickkeene5453]

Of an incredible level of stupidity

[@dannyblitz2122]

I can accept that that is true, but I'm still trying to understand how

[@Kay_OC]

@@dannyblitz2122 probably just good balance, speed wobbles happen mostly because when you’re going fast, your board is more sensitive to turning. If you had to ability to stand completely straight on your board it would likely never happen because your board will go straight unless you or the ground tells it not to.

I could've used this 2 weeks ago when I cracked my helmet, gave myself concussion and slight amnesia. 🤣

It's not the speed that scares me it's the tiny rocks in the road that you don't see until you are in full superman position seconds before losing half of your skin 😂

[@nickkeene5453]

Or when you’re late for work and pushing hard then you run over your own foot and get shoulder checked by good ole Mother Earth

[@miatanathan]

as a downhill skateboarder, none of what he said was right wobbles will ALWAYS come from the back truck, so always keep your weight on your front foot as much as you can bent knees help, but only for your own balancing, they dont cause wobbles. tight vs loose trucks doesnt really matter. if you have weak ankles, you wont be able to control the loose trucks, but if you have strong ankles, the wobbles will actually be worse with tight trucks, more likely to throw you off your board rather than just feeling a little spicy under your feet. IF YOURE HILLBOMBING: make sure you know how to powerslide, comfortably. footbreaking at speed almost always ends in a crash, unless you are super practiced. powerslides are the best way to slow down.

[@alekseicalhoun856]

Yeah this video was all just what you think you do if you have no idea about what speed wobbles come from, lol. Wobbles start when you get scared and shift your weight back usually. It’s easy to try yourself too, if you sit down on your board and go down a small hill with your butt over the back trucks you’ll start going out of control at like 4 mph.

[@miatanathan]

@@alekseicalhoun856 exactly bro, the bad thing about street skating culture is all the myths that are circulated and then defended by people who have no idea what theyre saying

[@ActBreaker]

You can also help prevent speed-wobbles by de-tuning the turn in the back truck vs the front. In slalom and LDP, this is achieved by using angled risers. On my LDP board, riding regular is very stable, but riding the board switch feels like backing up a trailer.

[@C33.C33.]

I came here to say this ^

[@prairietan]

Your the real skater.

[@nobodysignificant9040]

Speed wobbles come from when your back truck becomes out of control

[@knownrightman2356]

Dude this legit happened to me today like 5 hours ago, I went down a huge hill and bailed and went face first into a dirt hill, thanks for the tips

[@Wiggibow]

If you ever start getting speed wobbles again, just make sure your front foot is over the front bolts and put more weight on it. Cancels out speed wobbles nine times out of ten

[@GG_7D]

About the speed wobbles (I ride long board but I'm pretty sure this could work for skateboarding too) when you ride a long board especially if you casual you naturally weave back and forth, when I catch speed wobbles I time them and weave in that direction and continue or I lift the front of the board straighten out and keep going, this works I even have loose trucks. I think since skateboards have those little lifts on the front and tail this could work to maybe even better But y'know you could always jump off.

[@stevebanning902]

[@leveta8789]

I’m noticing a lot of similarities with skating with a board and with skates! Like how It’s better to bend your knees for more control! That’s super cool :)

[@Simpp3d]

Me about to get my first board this week:😳💀

[@blackflame3x]

another tip: if you go to the gym periodically try doing core exercises. holding your core while hill bombing gives you better control of your entire body

[@Emanionn]

Landing primo while doing a flip trick is my anxiety at its finest.

[@realspaceratXIII]

i rode my trucks too tight, so i hardy ever get speed wobbles

[@JaxWayne]

I broke my clavicle due to complications with speed wobbles, can’t do shit for weeks, stay safe 🙏

[@gamerkid731]

I been using a Walmart board since I started an I bought a used one in good condition no problems at all an no chips for only 29 dollars I threw away my old skateboard an my new one is perfect

Honestly I’m more scared riding in a car than doing an Ollie or just going pretty fast on my skateboard 😂

[@iThinkImAFrog]

As someone who lives in a hilly area this helps me a lot since I got in a pretty bad accident in August due to speed wobbles and I was too scared to go skating in that area again, but these tips are really helpful. Tysm, man :)

[@Meep851]

As a long boarder who bombs big hill, I would not recommend going down a big hill on a skateboard to start The better brand of trucks and bushings you have the better DO NOT TIGHTEN YOUR TRUCKS! Loosen the back one and that will stable out most things Putting your weight on the front is the best way to stop a speed wobble

[@andre.avalo3994]

that feeling when you start wobbling while rolling downhill and you know you boutta faceplant and cant stop it but THEN, by the definition of miricles you stay on the board

[@callsignkennyg]

Ever since I started skateboarding this guy helped me thanks dude

[@Frank7489]

I’ve always heard if you’re in speed wobbles you should out more weight on the front truck. Like ppl lean back out of fear, put uneven pressure on their trucks, and get speed wobbles that way

[@PeterTschappler]

Another thing: if you intentionally go back and forth like carving on a snowboard, you have control

[@YutoHorigomelover]

Your style is immaculate

[@ezralegault7163]

The most scary thing when I go play, my scooter is when my scooter gets out of control and starts wobbling

[@jonmurray9735]

Another quick but kinda sketch way out of speed wobbles is to start manualing. No more speed wobbles if only 2 wheels on the ground. Have to hold the manual until you slow down. Saved my ass once.

[@countertask]

And there's me who do speed wobbles for shits and giggles.

[@ezralegault7163]

The second thing that scooters scared of on raining days, the grass gets slippery, and it will take a risk of falling

[@natedogtrainer3812]

Higher center of gravity taller people are more prone to them crouching helps a bit but once they start how to stop

[@Dgb27]

Yet, the scariest thing is still a pebble 😂

[@Avalqnche]

ain’t gonna lie if I didn’t know to bend my knees when going fast I would’ve been dead today 💀

[@i_make_edits680]

As a skater i can confirm that we are not scared of going fast

[@anonymousmisnomer5443]

I think skating regularly with looser trucks can help you get more control and a better board feel for when you actually get up to speed

[@coquette_monkey]

That happened to me once going down a steeeeepp hill and to prevent falling I jumped into the grass cuz there was also a branch up ahead and I completely lost control... it was better to jump in grass than witness that fall tbh💀

[@prairietan]

Harder bushings will fix your speed wobble. Also you will really need to use your shin muscles.

[@yoinkyshmoinky]

I NEVER speed wobble when going down extremely fast hills on a *penny board* because i stand really still and lean more into the hill while dropping in

[@elibunsagala5690]

It makes wobbling my favorite

[@zuhairniazi6106]

I skate as loose as possible, to the point that everything is tuned to be ridden loose. my back wheels are looser than the front because of the way I stop, the front trucks are looser than the back because I turn left more than I do right. I have ultra soft bushings and slightly longer screws so I can screw it down as tight as possible to give it maximum room to loosen lmao (I have had my trucks fall of on me in stock settings)

[@SummerEmily-by9vx]

When I was a beginner, i was riding home from school with my friends, and I wanted to look cool so I, as fast as possible, rode down this huge and steep hill and I started wobbling like crazy and I got launched onto the cold hard rode. I ended up bleeding all over my legs, my wrist was sore and cracking at a certain position, and I had cuts on both hands 😂😅😮

[@wolfoxsaturn0191]

Happened to me just hours ago, thankfully I fell in some grass, still hurts like hell

[@asbestosfibers1325]

Wost wobbles i ever had were with tights as can be trucks. Super rapid vibration then just immediately kicked me off.

[@kaliiiuahhh]

The speed wobble in my sesh today was unbelievable bruh

[@imlogan_btw7265]

My uncle bought a board that goes 40 mph. I ride it all the time. We've both wrecked it every time he complains about a wreck. It's speed wobble but I watch him ride and he rides with straight legs and I keep telling him just bend your freaking knees lol

[@3ternallyoblivious]

if your wobbling yeah it’s probs ur loose ass trucks but also try to go down the hill straight and put most of ur weight in ur front trucks. Also pebbles are our greatest enemy… especially while hillbombing

[@karlyceglarek9147]

When I'm on a scooter.. and I fall over my bars.. no matter How hurt you get.. you will always- NO PAIN NO GAIN!!!!

Nah. You want your trucks loose. You control your board. Don’t let your board limit you 😎

Lower your centre of gravity so crouch and counter the wiggle

[@usuckballs6116]

when in a speed wobble just ride it out u hvae a higher chance of falling trying to take control

Motorcyclists and Skaters have never related more to each other than when talking about speed wobbles

Scientifically speaking speed wobbles come from whenever you start steering more with your back truck more than your front

[@b2clipz]

Where's the scientific part here my dude?

[@Chunguzboiyappin]

I love wobbling controllably but not like this😂😂

Yo ur videos are sick and I have been trying to do a kick flip do u have any tips

[@Neoreaver]

Dude's lucky he went out into the brush.

[@constancemerryweather525]

Few tips.. learn to footbrake ( dragging yr back foot on the ground) but never footbrake on brick terrain at speed, only smooth pavement! I find doing slightly wider carves if you get speed wobbles can get you out of them, otherwise keep yr core strong and straightline the hillbomb if you can. If you have to bail, try to go off into grass. Try to go straight to yr back. Hillbombing rules!

[@Allerx]

I was on my freinds electric skateboard and I was going over 25 mph and I was speed wobbling and crashed it was one of the most scariest things ever

[@fthisimout3332]

Also, always check what's at the bottom of the hill. Or be stupid like me, that's fine too as long as you don't care about your skin too much.
