This Skateboard Hack Is How I Learned So Many Tricks Fast

[@thetim-toms1065]

After chasing kickflips in my youth and returning to skating at 31 I finally landed my first one last year. It took being so fed up that I just started committing to ever single one and it finally worked. Even if you think you’re trying, sometimes you’re really not physically trying 100%. Like Dan says don’t let fear dictate how you attempt a trick. Just give it all you got and trust yourself!

[@billymullins1357]

Homie straight killed that park. He knows all the different options for those obstacles.

[@Unlockingparadoxes]

I hope that everyone has an amazing and memorable summer and safe travels and skateboarding throughout the years. 🍀♾️❤️‍🔥

[@totalmentef]

Your videos help a 50yrs old guy who stop skating 15yrs ago to go back and have good times again. Skate Sempre. Thanks (From Brazil).

[@bendyer1465]

Dan I love your videos, I watch them every day and though I can’t hardly skate at all, watching the Powell team always gets me stoked on life and watching your videos is something I look forward to every day. As commercial as it has become, Powell is still my favorite skate company and Stacy absolutely rules! Rock on!!! Bones Brigade for life

[@DanCorrigan]

Hope you get some good sessions in yourself and im glad u enjoy them :)

[@UnkleRonnie]

Your videos always feel like it’s just a bunch of friends hanging out with no intimidation or competition to see who can land the best tricks. Just has a raw “hanging with the homies” kind of vibe. Really enjoy the channel

[@M0S3ST0NE]

Watching live, as this channel progresses, is the highlite of my day. I was a late 70's early 80's Skateboarder. And then caught up again in my 50's. The follow shots on the camera on your board gives an amazing feel for the park. Keep it up.

[@Gabe-jd5pi]

Used to skate....only learned ollies and kickflip...through watching your videos ive heard ( and now realize that i never did this first) to get comfortable on your board and now with this video adding onto what i should have done. Shit. Now i want to get back into skating. Your videos are entertaining and helpful. Thanks Can Dorrigan. Much love from UT. ✌️

[@JesseMcLanahan]

I started thinking this way when I started really watching Andy Anderson just flow around and do his thing.

[@mutatedgenome]

It's amazing how Nick's feet stay glued to his board. Editing aside, I mean he almost never doesn't land a trick when he seems out of control.

[@Ozimundis]

Your points about being hesitant and tense, plus about skaters "blindly going into it" are spot on. Among my skate group there's an inside joke that I skate and learn things better when i'm sleep deprived than when I'm well-rested. [To be clear, not advocating for folks skating when sleep deprived, just the fact that when i'm mentally clocked out like that i'm less in my head and more acting on instinct and reactions] When i'm rested, often times if i'm messing things up or trying to learn something deliberately i'll be way in my head and overthinking what my body and limbs are doing, rather than just "doing the thing" I also have something called "Dyspraxia" [D.C.D] that also means i'm over-focusing on what my limbs are doing and making sure they are doing the correct thing. [Kickflips for ex, 9/10 i'm kicking so hard i'm almost doubleflipping, when i don't need to kick with nearly as much force]

[@gowiththegilmours2564]

The only thing better than that long front nose, is the sleeveless Cher shirt. Another kick ass offering Dan.

[@E_L1000]

Nick has a great style! Creative and improvised. But that takes skill, confidence and a quick mind.

[@richard_rico_norris]

I always thought that long, backside nose slides were very underappreciated. It's cool to see someone who regularly throws them into their sessions. I also really like the design of this park. So many parks today are either back and forth, or around in circles. It's cool to see something more open with diagonal options. It does look very fun and playful. But, I can see how it would turn into a collision nightmare when it was busy.

[@crabbuckets7506]

Im gonna cut things.. video still over 20 😂 I dont mind.

[@DanCorrigan]

i would have been like 30 min hahah

[@LiamSalbeck-ku3ym]

Once upon a time, there was a person who came across a highly recommended video that everyone around them found hilarious and entertaining. Excited to see what all the fuss was about they eagerly clicked on the video and settled in to watch. However, as the video played out, the person found themselves growing increasingly confused and unamused. They waited for the punchline that never seemed to come, and the jokes fell flat for them. While the people around them burst into fits of laughter, the person sat there feeling disconnected and wondering why they just didn't find funny at all. Despite trying to see the humor in it, the person just couldn't force a laugh or even crack a smile. They felt out of place in a room full of joyous laughter, unable to share in the excitement of those around them. As the video ended and the laughter died down, the person quietly excused themselves, feeling a little disappointed and perplexed. They realized that humor can be subjective, and what tickles one person's funny bone might not necessarily resonate with another. And so, the person walked away from the video, knowing that it's okay not to find everything funny or entertaining, and that sometimes, humor is truly in the eye of the beholder.

I don't even HAVE a local, i think the closest park is 30-35 miles away, and it's not even that great of a park, has like 5 obstacles

[@TheAnimeist]

12:24 Textbook backside turn. As someone who is looking to improve their backside turns, the timing and angle on this is one of the best I've seen. My plan now is to film myself from behind and see where I'm off.

When we were younger I called this approach the Franky method. He said to just put your feet on your board no matter. Better to die and stick than fuck your feet up 😅

[@mojadisco1812]

Stomped a heel/toe dragged tre for the first time ever after watching this, thank you for posting this!

[@KickaHippyPK]

Your homie is insane. His ability to stay on his board when 99% of half-decent skaters would step off is mind boggling. He's super fun to watch, but I kind of wish you didn't cut up some of the lines. I'm totally fine to see someone roll up the quarter pipe and back since it keeps the flow of the line a little better.

[@Sgt.MajorDani]

Realized that i miss the beautiful sound of ACID wheels these days..

[@chetgaines1289]

beautiful park

[@willblackett4709]

Bro shredz !!!

[@DanCorrigan]

He does

[@fademusic1980]

bro in the white shirt is doing things that are basically impossible at this park. Much respect

[@fellaontheroad]

One of my favorite parts is Koston’s Chomp on this part because he force lands like almost every trick in the part. Looked hilarious but they were also super gnarly tricks

[@logantow6413]

This video is giving me flashbacks... I skated the old Shaw park like 15 years ago; i was in town for the day; t was 100 degrees and i didn't have the drive to skate to the good bowl at Green Skate Lab. So i skated for 20 minutes, dripping sweat, and then sat down to hang out with the homeless Mexicans. I threw in $10 for beer, and the fiesta began! they were scraping together change, so the $10 was more than appreciated. They gave a t-shirt, and a flawless copy of Elliott Smith's Either/Or on cd. Ah, memories

[@dylanlansingreed]

I often ride away from a trick and joke to myself that I landed it despite all my efforts to bail.

[@jomarban5830]

Homie's rad skating made the whole video.

[@tts197stealth3]

Great advice. Hope you're feeling better

[@hados1853]

A lot of the time for me it takes a little fall to start sticking my feet on the board. The “pussy footing” comes from a fear of getting hurt. So sometimes that slam is all you need to be like “huh that wasn’t bad” and start committing

[@mateodavid1967]

Heard rumours of muscle T Dan... never seen in the wild though...

[@mikethomson6546]

Wheel base is everything. 8.8 with a 14.25WB sounds amazing. I finally found an 8.5" with a 14.25WB. Narrower WB's is the way of future for skateboarding.

[@khemchee4685]

Damn dude landed like 98% of his tricks! Dude got the balance cheat code.

[@backwardstoenail]

the advice is very true. i was just starting to get kickflips every try pretty much and now its so much easier to just land on the board. I got varial flips in like 20 minutes because i just tried to land on the board and it worked. Im trying to learn nightmare flips, and im gonna apply the same advice.

[@jSonTX]

That was a great question, Dan. If you could continue to skate one obstacle for the rest of your life, what would it be? Nick's comment about 3.5 mini would be my answer too. Also, Nick rips!

[@2enZenn]

Love the shirt Dan 💪🏼. Amazing skating. Love how you broke it all down too 🙏🏼🤩

[@jasonharris5201]

That is a fun park, I skated that with my son a few years ago. The locals were friendly and some damn good skaters.

[@hit1stride]

That Shaw skatepark is so good I was staying a block over from it on the fourth saw that busted deck and those no name black trucks early in the am that day … roasted boon next door has fire coffee! Sucks I missed you.

[@claysoggyfries]

Holding on to something helps

[@isaacreyes7563]

Real title of the video: "Watch some random dude skate..."

[@froggerfrank]

Dude skate like a non bald Dan Corrigan - it's amazing.

[@fademusic1980]

speaking of this park, I snapped my left fifth metatarsal into five pieces on that gap one time.

[@Dadbot]

Pro skaters are so fun to watch have casual sessions

[@TwistedCulture]

The park looks like it was built by Hunger Skateparks. They built my local in Evansville IN last year. A lot of their parks have red concrete and black angle iron so that's my best guess

[@WhyBecause.]

Damn in US you’re so lucky to have so many skateparks that on peak time theres still like 7 people and ZERO scooter infestation… I gotta deal with at least 20+ only scooter kid army allll the time. All times except early workday mornings.

[@ProfPorkChop]

Personally i prefer without the cuts so you can see the whole line, gives a much better feel of the flow. Either way I'll still watch daily, keep smashing it brother

[@narrowonflow]

Yo those cut offs work

[@JohanSagrusten-nu1oy]

Why cant we have skateparks like this in Norway🙆‍♂️😩

[@stevenbrooks128]

That park looks so so fun

[@advaitawho]

Rare Kevin spacey joke! 🤣👍

[@Zephyrian1st]

YE, I have a similar mindset, and try to teach the same thing to some of the groms running around i meet, but more or less land and practice and understand the concepts, then get your body to do it, then fight the fear... its a bit more methodical and take your time and warm up to stuff, even if you did it a million times, kinda stuff

[@TheCabster]

Nice, was in DC last month and visited Shaw as well! Love the vids Dan, keep up the good work

[@fademusic1980]

I skate this park (shaw) and man yall are crazy doing this in this heat. It was at least 90-95F while you were there with over 50% humidity

As a bald dude, I’ve forgotten my hat one time. There is no burn like a scalp burn. I keep hats and sunscreen everywhere.

I take the same approach. I only posted one video so far but check out my first day. My goal was just to commit to whatever it was. So i landed a shuvit my first day. Not pretty but i got it. Let Bree know what gut think 👍😎

[@kylechampton]

Another hack, which really isn’t one, is that you just gotta get out and skate everyday if you want to keep learning new tricks. Even if you don’t feel like it.

I never skated as a youngin so i had to figure it all out by myself.. i started learning tricks easier/quicker once i had the basic understanding of skateboarding.. i do a 180.. i do a shuvit.. try to do it at the same time💥💥 learned big flips and shit soon after.. was calling em halfcab flips 😅😂😂😂 Ik my philosophy was rudimentary but i still learn like that.. learn hardflips? Gotta toss a 180 onnit, bird dirty? Double flip it 😂

Thank you Dan
