@@KieranClarkSkates thanks man glad you caught the shout out! Yeah I was lucky. It wasn't as bad as it looked to be fair, I did more damage to my hand than my head but all good now! Revisited that spot this morning!

@@DadLeisureSkateboarding Sweet, looking forward to seeing the results.

@@Krisso thanks I'll try, in my head that's higher and scarier! 😆

@@DadLeisureSkateboarding it'll feel better, the same for tricks on a bank. You won't land at the bottom where it transitions, and if you fall it's better to fall at the top where you can slide down.

​@@Krissomakes sense to be fair... Cheers!

@@leestammers3832 yeah man the one that's almost touching the floor would be a good start! There's definitely more fun and experimenting to be done at that spot. Board slides, hippie jumps, different tricks over the lowest one... Full pads and helmet next time though 😆🤕

@@simonvidetta1976 cheers Simon! Could have been worse. Hope to see you on the board again very soon!

@@DadLeisureSkateboardingdefinitely could have been I guess and thanks mate 🤘🏻

@@CovTown yeah I've been eyeing those bars up for a while... Just wish I padded up. Shouldn't have rushed/forced a session but lesson learnt 🤕

@midlifesk8r Thanks man! There's no reason why it wouldn't be. If you have time check out my oldest videos, they look just like yours. Stick with it! looking forward to seeing your journey

Yeah I know what you mean, I was worried about the weight but it's nowhere near as bad as I thought and the pop is great. Not much height difference compared to my street board and just feel more stable, confident and able to commit with the bigger surface! Thanks for checking out the vid Bill!

@@DadLeisureSkateboarding For sure. Biggest board i have is a 8.38 with 149 indys. Definitely more stable and heavy then a 8.125 with 139 indy hollows lol Bigger boards are fun to mess around on for sure!👊

Yeah I was mostly annoyed that I didn't wear pads/helmet and I was going to pay the price... but luckily not too bad in the end. A reminder not to be so complacent. I was on a different set-up to usual and think I got wheelbite as my board just stopped dead on landing! Could have just been the crust ground or pebble though! Thanks for watching, hope you are good dude!

Yeah there is a fine balance between taking it easy, and pushing yourself too much and getting hurt! But you can get hurt taking it easy also so may as well go for it. I was annoyed because I didn't wear my pads, but I dont usually slam like that from an ollie. I think it was wheelbite that threw me off. Clouds are good so far! Handle crust way better than dragons and I haven't notice too much speed loss compared to Dragons yet (and I have way better bearings with the dragon set up too) I think I will do a review/round up on them after a month of skating

Thanks yeah I always try the trick again rather than leave it on a low point!

Thanks man! BG never fails

Yeah I think on another day where I can dedicate more time I will start playing about a bit more (and wear full pads!!). It is a cool spot and that was my thinking with hippie jumps then ollies! Such a rough tarmac to land on though and I did rip my hand up too. I got the ollie first try to be fair but something got in my head and I stopped committing!

@@PhilipBrown1967 thanks Phil!

@@Gmo1999 thanks for sticking around mate, really appreciate the support!

@@DadLeisureSkateboarding no problem brother!!

@@Ungracefulmovement you gotta try it 😆

Thanks Wes! You are getting there!

Yeah it's a decent spot, not sure I'll do it again though 😂

Haha thanks mate yeah I had to get another one couldn't leave it there! Bear Grylls! 🐻

@@thestrengthdynamic Bear Grylls!

@@thestrengthdynamic classic 😂

Haha thanks, it wasn't too bad I was just annoyed I didn't wear my helmet and wrist guards because I usually do (unless it's just basic flat ground)

Haha yep I know, I do wear full pads mostly... problem is when I squeeze in these quick street sessions I forget, or just rush. But lesson learnt 🤕

Thanks, yeah I think you are right... there is a big separation between an ollie and then the mental battle of doing it up onto something! Cheers for watching and for the comment 😀

@@OwensSkateLife thanks man! Been loving your vids recently! Yeah I know what you mean, I don't think this video does my confidence on the board any justice 😂 I am generally ok at bombing it around the park but I have noticed I can't Ollie banks and hips at speed as I do that, which is something I've been working on (new vid tomorrow). Also frontside Kickturns need attention!

Thanks mate! That one is the 9.25 heroin golden egg board.

@@DadLeisureSkateboarding nice 9.25 woohoo, wow never had heroin deck or egg either. Are you happy with it?

@@skate-vision yes I love it for stability and ease of control. My 8.25 street set up is lighter but more unpredictable 😆

@@beatsev1 thanks man! yeah it's a good option if you aren't comfortable with actual body varials, you also get more speed as you do a little boost push when you get back on the board

@@simonvidetta1976 thanks Simon yeah that's a good option! I am thinking now just get pop Shuv rolling then really clean up and get these tricks higher, more confident and speed before learning too many new ones!

@alexearl230 Solid advice!

Thanks man yeah I like it but it still feels awkward. Plan now is to clean all of these tricks up, get confident and do them with speed, height and style before learning too much else!

@@amskateboards thanks man! I actually do those shuvit start offs on the banks at the park, I love doing them and think they look cool to start off a run! Body varials is a good shout, I never really do them because its boring but need to work on those and hippie jumps

@@CrispyDC thanks man, it's in Warrington UK. So lucky to have it as a local!

@@DadLeisureSkateboarding Yeh I'm in Suffolk and we have nothing indoors, unless we trek 3 hours to adrenaline alley again 😭

Ahh I know a couple of people around there, it sucks that there is no indoor options. We are a bit spoiled around our way and it's great as a rainy day option and to learn new transition tricks but I prefer a good outdoor park when the weather allows!

Thanks Phil!

Yeah I'm happy with boneless, they are fun to do and need to start doing them up and down things and eventually into 5050s 😂 a caveman breakdown would be pretty sweet to be fair 👊

@@Sk8Comeback i love bonelesses gotta learn them look so steezy

@@DadLeisureSkateboarding yeah I keep meaning to do one of them! My flexibility and hamstrings suck so boneless is hard for me but there’s a few important tricks to it! Trust me… you wanna try and tweak your leg so it goes at like 90 degree angle…. In turn you legs snaps it bag and it just works! Back foot slightly hanging toes over really helps me land back too! Try it 👊 it’s bloody hard mate… you need a lot burst in the jump! Sick trick! The way you’re doing it atm is more like a Footplant Ollie early grab thing!

@Sk8Comeback AHH I get what you mean!

@@KieranClarkSkates Thanks mate! Fakie half cab is on my Radar, Matt (AM Skateboards) does them all the time. I think I need to get rolling Shuv first though before I lose it completely 😁

@@DadLeisureSkateboarding That’s a good shout, I personally think moving makes tricks easier as you don’t have to land perfectly on the board to roll away. The momentum gives you a bit more play.

@@fatdadskatesbad Thanks man, don't know about that but I am definitely getting more confident and really enjoying it 😁

@@Ungracefulmovement no probs I feel like I do it every week but you keep giving me reason to 😎

@@Ungracefulmovement Thanks, I'm surprised how quickly I got them but to be honest I could have done most of them cleaner/faster/higher... but I didn't have a warm up just turned the camera on and started with that Ollie 😆 Wide board has been great for confidence after injury and stability/control but I rode my 8.25 yesterday and felt like I could have ollied ove a car 😂 just not as much control with the narrower light board I find

Thanks mate yeah rolling shuv is probably the next one! And half cab rock to fakie I have done before I got injured but need to get it back!!

@@DadLeisureSkateboarding I'm trying to get more confident with rick to fackie currently

haha! Thanks man yeah it will be interesting to see what tricks are in next years! I feel like I could have done most of them better but was short on time and under-rehearsed!

Whatever trick you’re feeling Scott, great video and great advice about not letting anyone tell you how to enjoy your skateboard 🫶

@@CovTown Thanks mate! To be honest I think I will aim to get the rolling shuv and then work on cleaning up these tricks, getting them with speed, height, confidence and style... rather than pushing for more badly executed ones 😆 really enjoying the flatground skating at the moment though!

​@@DadLeisureSkateboardingi am trying to do fakie shuv as its easier in terms of landing as you kick it to the direction of where you are moving, but not landed one yet, one day. Keep it up man you got it!!!

@@skate-vision yeah that sounds like a solid option, I keep meaning to try it! Thanks!

@@FirstPersonSkater thanks for the comment! Never thought to swap bushings out on thunders... Because a lot of people put thunder bushings in other trucks 😂 but great idea I will experiment. I still ride them on my popsicle as a back up and have new wheels coming for that set up soon. And I agree, preference and belief in your set up are aligned 💯

@@amskateboards 😂 yeah I think I still feel a bit embarrassed about skating at my age to be that blunt. But I plan to take it next year!
