Cheers, Brandon. What you've just shown I was looking for a while back and couldn't find. I really just had to fumble my way through it. People take these basic skills for granted but there's a ton of learning in all this.
Duuuude! This is dope. Been wanting to get better at this since we saw a seven year old girl absolutely destroying at a local skatepark the other day. Subscribed!
LOL wow. Going to a transition park tomorrow, I go on YT and here's his new video. So sick. Been skateboarding for over 2 decades and been blading for one month. I'm in love dude.
Great video! Key note for beginners on making the “180 jump turn” shown towards the end… Shift your back foot forward before you jump to help with reducing the amount of rotation needed and build some rotational momentum. You can see that happening in the video if you watch closely.
I went to a skate park for the first time, I was so nervous. I did try to roll down a slope and went good at first until the big curves which I didn't know what to do. This tutorial, pretty much helps, tysm
Oh man! Great vid. I've been consuming all the how-to vids on youtube for verts/bowls etc. Carved my first bowl this morning, around the same time that you uploaded this video. Unfortunately, I injured myself 40 mins in by slipping down a bank and pulling one of my lower ab muscles. I should have just slid down but i over-used my already tired abs. Sucks being injured, but I can't wait to get back out there and try it again. Keep the vids coming!
Nice little guide mate. Was trying to give folks some tips the other day on how to roll little quarters, will have to direct them here. Cool green screen setup, well done. 👍
=) I am like binge watching your videos! love them! you inspired me to skate again. I used to hard skate as a kid but now idk... lol But im so excited!!
I think youre a very down to earth blader compare to most bladers ive met. I still have most tricks and techniques to learn , on and off blading for 20 years 😅 How do you keep up your speed? Is having all 8 wheels recommended? I have trouble keeping speed, making it very tiring to pump up half pipes or exit bowls . i have been using 4 wheels instead of 8.
Excellent video, thank you for sharing! Any videos or advice for beginners on how to stop when coming back down backwards? I just switched from quads to rollerblades and am so use to having a stopper that helps me stop at any time on my ramp. Thanks!
Hey just found ya and the location filmed looked awesome, but as you say its really rough so my BIG ? is do you know where the best smooth skate parks are around the country, or where ever you know around Wellingtown - thanks mate - ps yeah I actually live right behind one but its rough-as, and me 135 kgs on standard 85a wheels, I'd chew em out in no time...
I’m struggling with learning how to turn 180 while going up the ramp. From the video, it seems my issue is that I’ve been pumping then turning as 2 separate motions whereas it should be more of a seamless pump-into the turn. It’s’ food for thought, but man turning on a ramp feels so forced and awkward. Thank you for your explanations.
My skater brain: THIS IS ALL MAKES SENSE! My body: your gonna bust your ass regardless! Ngl, this makes me wish I kept my inlines though. So much info that I wish I knew now, that I barely got access to.
I'm pretty new to transition skating and am trying to figure out how turn both directions with while carving. Do you do the opposite "box" stance when you carve either left or right? Or do you always use your dominate foot forward no matter the direction of the carve? Awesome vid, I am pumped to try transition more.
Thanks for watching! I hope this helps you pic up transition fast! Keep your dominate foot forward for now. It should work in both directions. It'd be worth learning the opposite box stance while carving as well though. Get it down with your dominant foot in front and then get it down with the opposite. There's shortcuts for spins if you can do both. I hope that helps ✌
@@BrandonDrummond Ok thanks for the reply. This will give me confidence to just work on it with my dominate foot forward for now instead of questioning it constantly! I can really only spin one way right now but will hope to practice opposite box stance soon. Thanks, brotha!
I designed it ❤️ It was my merch. It has since sold out but if you like that you may like the sweatshirt I have now. www.shop-laced.com/ Thanks for watching btw
I dropped in the pool today!! But when I get to the other side, I can't go up all to the coping. I kinda shoot/jump out. It's scary to lean back. Any advice to correct it, please?
My body hasn't been able to figure out how to come down fakie clean, and I hate taking up too much space at the park, so I skipped straight to the third step and figured out how to 180😂
Hey Brandon, is this something that you NEED aggressive skates to do? I just started inline skating, and I have some new Rollerblade RB Cruisers with 80mm wheels. I didn't think I would like aggressive skating, but I've been practicing at my local skate park, and it seems like it would be fun. I think it's a big more challenging because I'm higher off the ground, and I gain speed quickly. Let me know what you think. Thanks for the videos!
Hey, thanks for watching! That's really cool you want to get into aggressive. You can do this on any skate not just aggressive. Once you master it on one you can do all wheel sizes and heights. Your 80s will just be a lot faster 🔥Aggressive skates may be a little easier because they're slower but overall the technique is the same.
Hi Brandon I have a question. I bought myself fitness skates and I was wondering how many things will be difficult/impossible to do apart from going straight. Can I improve on these skates or I have to buy different ones?
Hey Alex. You can learn everything except grinds with normal fitness skates. You can definitely improve just using the skates you have. No need to buy new ones yet.
If you ride a freestyle or anti-rocker set up or have square profile wheels, it will be very hard to turn without lifting. A setup like that is not good for carving ramps. But it's still possible you will just have to do very wide turns. Thanks for watching and keep at it. I hope this helps 🙏
Aww didn't even realise this was a new vid 😅 been binge watching all your vids just got a pair of skates after 10 years off them .
Thanks for binging them 🙏Welcome back to blading!!!!

Thanks for this! Skated a park for my first time ever Monday, waiting on knee pads before I go again, because ouch, haha.
IVE BEEN NEEDING THIS. A tutorial that teaches how to carve and not just pump!!!

Really thankful to read this. I'm glad your first day at the park went well! Keep killing it 🙏
Box stance, that was the visualization tip I needed. Thanks!

Great video! Super important tips!
Hell yeah, thank you hermano!!! I needed this.
This is Day one for me and im glad i watched your video... Cheers
Welcome to blading 🙏Thanks for watching
This is so helpful 🥰🥰🥰
Thanks this helped a lot
I went to the park for the first time today and went on it thinking it was simple and hurt my wrist. I’d never imagined I needed to watch this vid
Nice little guide mate. Was trying to give folks some tips the other day on how to roll little quarters, will have to direct them here. Cool green screen setup, well done. 👍
pumping is especially useful on bumpy roads, like when tree roots lift the pavement
Thanks for this useful and easy to learn tutorial.
Thank u Brandon, I just happened to bump into your channel while browsing inline skating... I wanna get back in the game and I'm already 40😂...
It's never too late man. You should do it! You won't regret it! Thanks for watching 🙏
Do it 👍🏻I’ve just started learning and I’ve just turned 51 😊
I really appreciate the way you taught this💯🙌🏽
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching.
Awesome video dude. Really clear and concise with great b roll and editing 🔥
Been skating for two months now and you've been a lot of help. Thanks Brandon :D
How did you practice?
@@nibbax7772 Going to the skatepark every day and I built a P-rail or practice rail for like $35. Keep consistent and find a crew
This was a very helpful tutorial 👍😊
Ok, start with pumping. Got it! THX.

Great tips Brandon!
V helpful ty!!

How do you do that transition from backwards to forwards at 5:04?
My skater brain: THIS IS ALL MAKES SENSE!
My body: your gonna bust your ass regardless!
Ngl, this makes me wish I kept my inlines though. So much info that I wish I knew now, that I barely got access to.

That looks like a decent little ramp. Where was this filmed?
The ramps super rough, you do not wanna fall on it. But other than that it's dope. Its at Waitangi Park in Wellington, New Zealand.
@@BrandonDrummond Thanks, will stop by next time I'm in Wellington! And hey, I never fall, I'm a pro :P
@@BrandonDrummond Just saw on Google Maps it's a spine, love those :)
Am I gonna learn to pump before I can turn completely around corners?
Where is this hoodie from? I love it! Thanks for the video
I designed it ❤️ It was my merch. It has since sold out but if you like that you may like the sweatshirt I have now.

Thanks for watching btw
Buen video y tienes buena tecnica.
The box stance makes my feet try to turn when I don't want them to and it makes me lose balance
Best of best

Hmm, I ended doing all of this on my own. Still can’t go down backwards though
What would be better to learn stalls/grinds on coping, island bay half pipe or karori mini ramp?
They're both not great but Karori's better because its wider. Island bay is to short.
@@BrandonDrummond cheers for the tip man

I wonder if my skateboarding history will help
An easy way to help yourself learn how to pump is just think of how you use your legs to push yourself on a swing. I’ts the same motion 👍
*I meant It’s! Not I’ts!

How to not bet dizzy 😂
I got about 2 minutes in until I remembered I live in the desert, so there is no roads to even use. Cool video though.
