hey guys, I was stuck in bed all week with the flu 😖🤒 this is footage from december that i never got around to editing! hope you learn something and get inspired to hit the skatepark! 💟 normal full length skate & life vlog coming next week
Worth noting that if you're having troubles getting your back truck to lock in on 50 50's to fix your gaze further down the ledge. I struggled with this for a while until someone suggested I look ahead instead of focusing on the centre of my board/ledge.
Hey George I just wanted to say thank you for just being a channel you have inspired me so much to go out and skate. I’ve been skating now for 6 months and you keep me going you’ve showed me how to Ollie, Manuel, shove it,pop shuv , kick flip , frontside 180 and drop in thank you so much and i look forward to more videos
Thanks for the video! I was bored when I got home, cause the weather is shitty, so I can't skate, but watching your video made it better. So thank you, George!
Working on front noseslides and front tailslides today at the skatepark, gonna try to get better at 5-0's and the 50-50 variations as well, thanks for making this video not be laughably beginner, keep up the good content George!
As you’re getting these make sure you’re working on half cabs so that you can learn half cab nose slide - it became my favorite ledge trick for years and seem to lock and slide easier than standard nose slide
Surprisingly the front 5-0 was crazy easy for me. I landed it on my first try. I think it’s the only trick I’ve ever landed first the first time on the first try. I think back crooks should also be on the list. They feel really natural for me
Omg im progressing, last time i saw this i tought like naww i cant do all of these and now I was like wait i can do all of these already!? And also I think fs 50-50 front shov out is pretty easy too :D
MY ORDER JUST CAME IN WITH ALL UR STUFF IM SO HAPPY I CANT EVEN EXPLAIN IT ENOUGH IN WORDS THE LIL DOODLE OF UR LOGO ON THE LIL NOTE RLLY MADE MY WHOLE DAY IM SO HAPPY THANK UUUUUUUUUU 💕💕 UR SUCH A GOOD PERSON AND NORA IS SO SWEET I CANT GET ENOUGH OF U TWOOOOO
My skate sesh yesterday was my best so far. First Ollie and Slappy 50-50 on a Manny pad. Haven't quite managed to land out of the 50-50 yet, but I think I got it next sesh.
Hey George, your tips are mad helpful. I love that you identify things I never even paid attention to. Like, our eyes/view suggestion, and how going fast when you're learning something else will mess up your timing. This compliment comes from an older skateboarder who had all these tricks for years but with the sloppiest form that made me more likely to injure myself on some dumb sh**. VIDEO REQUESTS - Whether to pinch heelside vs. toeside for different grinds and slides. - Some more regarding eye movement, like you did with this video. (you seem to have that covered, homie, but I'm thinking how useful it will be for every trick)! - How to adjust pop for speed - detailed tutorials on body posture (aside from foot placement). I'd love an analysis of ideal ways to use your arms and shoulders. What common body posture mistakes ppl make & what happens when they make those mistakes, Etc. Could you help identify & clean up issues with our tricks? 100%. - when to shift your center of gravity, where to put your weight on for the roll-up, etc. I'm experimenting with these details for the first time and having mixed results since before I mindlessly went for it. Paying attention actually messes me up, but it will make me a more consistent skater in the long run. - POV shots of you doing the tricks would be helpful. Maybe could even develop a VR app. I think visualizing is a form of practice in itself. It gets our body and mind ready to do it. I feel like if you're wearing a helmet, you're 90% ready to have a POV GoPro angle. I bet you can grow your audience by offering "intermediate tips" for skaters who can do the tricks already but wanna see it broken down so we can identify strengths/weaknesses. These little tips, like where to look, etc., can help intermediate, non-tutorial guys nail their tricks with more control, confidence, and consistency. Your tutorials are already mad helpful thank you. I'm just suggesting these ideas bc I think they'd make a world of difference to skaters who are watching even though they can do the tricks. And it's something nobody else is doing that I'm aware of. Breaking bad habits to create good ones is essential, so I think it's worth experimenting with at some point. Peace homie
Went to the park and finally learned all backside versions of the ledge tricks I know backside for me is a lot harder👍 (I can boardslide,50-50,5-0,nose and tail slide)
great explanation some of these tricks I could do but have trouble doing consistently, after you explaining what "locks in" certain tricks I bet I can get them more consistent.
man good tutorial/description on the 50 and what you are eyeing and how it shifts from in front of you to fown at ur board.....i jus learned this yesterday and i jus started skating again after 17 years(im 34)...relearning stuff i haf and also new stuff...nvr had 50s before but what you described is what i literally just figd out...alotta ppls tutorial miss out on where your actual vision/focus is anf if or when it shifts during a specific trick...you nailed it bro....kudos and t.y.
I remember seeing you at Tribeca skating one day, on my trip to New York, not knowing who you were, I stumbled upon your channel a week later when I had to go back home to Florida, only to be like..."Wait a minute...I have seen this guy before" lol small world.
Also, side note... Super hyped cuz a homie kicked me an old bow flex! It's from the 90s prolly but it works 🤘🏽 Now I can work out from home and keep this skate machine it top form. Psyched
They're easy compared to other ledge tricks. Doing any kind of grind on a ledge isn't normally something that somebody who hasn't been skateboarding for at least a few months can do.
I ride up to ledges to front 5050, then I just screw up the ollie. I jump on the ledge but board stays behind! I guess the fear is stopping me! I'm try to work on a 50 @ 50 video part, and I want some ledge tricks init, but most of my skate life has been on transition! These tips have helped me think a bit differently, I'll be trying next session. Cheers George 👍
I'm always doing boardslides on a ledge in a game of skate because I know nobody learns that it's always so funny but IT's actually a pretty easy trick
hey guys, I was stuck in bed all week with the flu 😖🤒 this is footage from december that i never got around to editing! hope you learn something and get inspired to hit the skatepark! 💟 normal full length skate & life vlog coming next week
George Poulos corona Virus 😢😂
Hey George, I know you probably won't see this but I don't know if I should buy Karma Wheels. What do you think???

That "where to look" part was brilliant.
Worth noting that if you're having troubles getting your back truck to lock in on 50 50's to fix your gaze further down the ledge.
I struggled with this for a while until someone suggested I look ahead instead of focusing on the centre of my board/ledge.
Eye on the ball

How's that ankle? Hopes its good man and your out shredding!
Thanks George

Went to the park and finally learned all backside versions of the ledge tricks I know backside for me is a lot harder👍 (I can boardslide,50-50,5-0,nose and tail slide)
I landed my first backside crook on a rail today!
Clayton Kavaloski congrats
great!
You should make a 5 easy something and do every trick switch :D would be fun to see
Fakie noseslide is my go to on a ledge the first time I skate it because it’s just a fun feeling trick and requires very little energy
only watched 51 seconds of this video. Haven't even gotten to the skateboarding yet and this mans has already gained another like and sub.
i'm almost done building a grind box and this is helping me feel more confident in trying these tricks
Landed my first fs 50-50 yesterday, excited to try these other tricks!
The board slide for me always results in the most violent falls lol
Same😂
dude, you are so inspiring and incredibly good skater. you make things look like a piece of cake 😂 keep up the channel bro! your amazing
Yessss! The lunch upload!!! Love you George 💘💘💞💞🌹✨
great explanation some of these tricks I could do but have trouble doing consistently, after you explaining what "locks in" certain tricks I bet I can get them more consistent.
Today I've joined to the helmet gang!!!
Ok karol
Poser 🥴
Sheeeesh 🥵
this is so good, talking about where you should be looking is so important! i see som many people balance off because they are looking down
Always refreshing to watch your videos. One day I hope to skate with you. Hope you have a strong recovery.
Cool af homie G to the P, teaching us all to S.K.A.T.E.
Thanks Poulos..I learned and grew from this....toes on the nose..hei❤

This is sick, slowing uploading my new learn❤️
Noselide advice. Received. 🤝
I remember seeing you at Tribeca skating one day, on my trip to New York, not knowing who you were, I stumbled upon your channel a week later when I had to go back home to Florida, only to be like..."Wait a minute...I have seen this guy before" lol small world.
Reppin the be easy merch 🔥🔥
Learning to pop out was pretty quick for me back in the day i found a ledge I could ride onto so I didnt have to worry about getting into it first.
DJ Quads be hitting different
Going for the nose slide at a straight angle at first is exactly how I’d do it👌
I always wait till your video gets on TH-cam I love your Channel
This video is super good, you are so under rated!
Such a good video just got new ace trucks today and there so good size 44 for that 8.25 fortune deck
The nose slide info helped thanks a lot
Feel better George !
Very good
Bruh

Sick vid. You should keep going on this ledge series, get nose grinds, back 5050s etc. would be tight.
Thanks you for your video i can train every day with your instruction
The turtle on the tech deck 🤣🤣
george i’m new to skating and i love ur vids man you motivate me
dude i love pondorosa park and bend
Hi your my favourite skateboarder
You are great :)! helpt my skating alot!
I wanted to get better at ledges so thanks a lot for this video !!
Will be trying all these this weekend!! :)
I never knew what to do on a ledge, thank you for making this video
Maybe it’s just me but I don’t like when people say tricks are ‘easy’ because a simple 5050 took me months to learn but great video
Chris_02 oh lol it took me 2 tries
miam I think I’m just not a natural skater because it takes me so long to learn tricks. Probably cuz I’m too much of a pussy to commit lol
Chris_02 you’re not alone. Takes me forever too.
Chris_02 you gotta skate every damn day after a while you get confident and tricks get easier
They're easy compared to other ledge tricks. Doing any kind of grind on a ledge isn't normally something that somebody who hasn't been skateboarding for at least a few months can do.

You should post more, everyday I check your account to see if there’s a new video. I just got a helmet gang hoodie and can’t wait to skate in it!

Hit my first bs 5-0 on a rail last night🤙🏽
Nice, 50s and 5-0s are scary as fuck on rails
Yoo I have so much difficulties with ledge tricks. I think that thus video will help me out a lot 😀
Thank u this is gonna be soooo helpful
Cool vid. Very helpful. 🤘🤘
I'm always doing boardslides on a ledge in a game of skate because I know nobody learns that it's always so funny but IT's actually a pretty easy trick
