I love your approach to your sessions. Practicing fundamentals and then pushing your limits towards the end, is how I do all my hobbies. I feel like it leads to faster progression, though it can feel counterintuitive at times.
It's been pretty good so far doing it this way. I try to "build myself up" to stepping a little out of my comfort zone in my sessions with something new or something that was just uncomfortable back in the day. It's funny-the nosegrind in this video eventually paved the way to learning crooked grinds, which I never could do before. The only time this approach bites me is when I become obsessed with flip tricks. I spent literally 1.5-2 weeks trying frontside, backside flips, and tre flips, and I'm sure I got somewhere, but it was so defeating and counterintuitive to the point where I just gave up (for now).
Coming together! The best tip I ever got for bs 180 is raising your arms above your head. For whatever reason this has helped me immensely for bs tricks that I don't rotate fully
Im trying to watch all beginner journeys, yours hs very nice editing, i hope you achieve your goals! Totally agree on the "shoulders tip" for back 180, i feel like doing a bit of shoulder / hip rotation coupled with your way of moving legs is the key.
I love editing videos and photos! I'm hoping to keep my legs and body moving and help others along the way; we're all in this journey together. The shoulders definitely still play a part in the trick, as do the hips. It was wild when I started just messing around, pushing my legs and foot, and trying different pockets on the board, it just clicked. Not perfect, not big, but it was fun and definitely put a smile on my face. I love being able to rethink these tricks now; when I was younger, there wasn't much thought. Thanks again! 🤟
If struggling with 180s and 360s, prewind with your shoulders before popping (first twist against rotation to wind up, as you are popping twist shoulders in direction of the spin).You somewhat commit to the motion during frontside 180s, focus on that, and reverse the order. You are essentially using your shoulders to give you more momentum throughout the spin. Keep practicing, It just clicks one day.
When I started doing these I was definitely back foot heavy and trying to do most of the twisting with shoulders. I started messing with front foot on ollies, that went well. Then decided to try it with front and backside 180s, so far its working way better along with upper body movement. Definitely recommend!
Man your lucky to have all that nice driveway. Nice sesh man!! 🤙
Thanks!! Last year, it was full of cars. Some of my kids have moved out now, so there's lots of free space this year.
The legend of fat dad is here even!

@@OldBrokenSkater 😂 I feel that for sure!

Makes sense! I have been trying to almost exaggerate arm movements sometimes to help with other tricks and it works for sure.

Sweet, thanks!!! Will definitely try this approach.
Really interesting tip on the 180s, I try to do too much with my back foot and not enough with my front
When I started doing these I was definitely back foot heavy and trying to do most of the twisting with shoulders. I started messing with front foot on ollies, that went well. Then decided to try it with front and backside 180s, so far its working way better along with upper body movement. Definitely recommend!
best tip I can give in BS180 is putting most of your weight on the front foot, your body will naturally turn 180 with that weight distribution
Thats a solid tip! Works good along with a little foot flick and shoulder wind up. Thanks!!
