Brandon, the spine at Waitangi is pretty poorly placed, any thoughts on where to get decent spine practice around Wellington. Do you ever skate Waitangi these days, occasionally the kid asks - I reckon he's starting to think you're a computer-generated mirage.
John Iscariot Hey John. Ummm I don’t think Wellington has any good spines. I think the closest one would be Otaki 😆 and their one is huge. I think there’s a rough one in Upper Hutt and Masterton. I havnt skated Waitangi in a while now. I usually go there on a week day early morning to film vids. Otherwise I avoid it. Maybe I am a computer sim 😆. What days do you guys go down?
@@BrandonDrummond Yeah weekday mornings are kinda out for the 10 year old - for some reason his mother likes him to go to school (who would have thought)...mind you, school holidays are coming up. We have been going in the evenings, but the weather has pretty much killed that - the amount of rain we've had makes the bowl good or goldfish, not skaters. I can understand avoiding Waitangi - but we've found in the evening that there's less of a problem with some of the more annoying inhabitants ... and the older boarders are good folk. But, as much as Waitangi is a great resource, it's not really set up for a lot of things - like learning to jump a spine... it doesn't that it's blind [like all spines] but has no overrun for people to bail on and no run off before going strait into another quarter ... and then there's scooter kids who don't check either before jumping it... *sigh*
I literally jumped the spine for my first time like a week before you released this video haha. This would have been super helpful so thanks for making it! You're not kidding about just needing to commit to it. My first time actually felt super natural, but it scared the daylights out of me haha Keep it up man! Feel free to reach out on Twitter or something if you ever want to talk about TH-cam
Can you make a video on going backwards down a quarter pipe? Im just getting back into skating and was never able to go backwards on the quarter pipe. Backwards on flat ground has never been an issue. Thanx!
Absolutely agree with other comments, you tutorials are just what we need. There is loads of other peeps on yt but by far you explain it and show it in best way. Cheers bud, big thank you for all your vids. ; )
Awesome vid, I'm 36 and a born again blader from a seaside town in England, this was super helpful to learn to tackle the spine ramp that I have been putting off due to fear. Be great if you could do a fakie stall on coping video, I'm having difficulty perfecting this. Thanks man
Some spine ramps are sketchy AF, with a no bearing anti rocker setup I locked up on a spine just like this and shattered my collarbone and jaw. This brought back some memories, they are fun though.
I've been learning off your video and others. Some expert pals have given me 2 extra great pointers not mentioned which may help too. 1. Jump across the spine a bit, so you're not travelling forwards too far; make a small late carve, ( i've since noticed in your vid you're actually swooping your feet to the side when you're jumping to possibly do this) 2. You got to bring both feet together side by side near the top before jumping, so you get a two feet together take off. I was keeping my staggered stance and doing a one foot than the other take off until this was pointed out to me. Thanks for the tutorials! They help me heaps!
You may laugh but ballet is a good foundation for aggressive inline skating If jou wach some basic ballet tutorials you learn a lot of stuff that will help you to do 540 and helps to improve your balance
Great tutorial as always man, you're 100% on point with spines being dangerous and I'd definitely want to point out that not all spines are created equally so definitely get a feel for what ya'll are hitting on both sides before throwing yourself at it - lessons learnt with a thud hah
Just want to say I absolutely love you guys so much got me to buy my first pair of blades and got me rolling keep up the work and videos cause they are a highlight of my day when I get to watch
That’s the thing I never did when I was skating hard core 20 years ago. I was too afraid to make the transition over the coping to the next side I always feared my skates would catch on the pipe and I’d fall face first
Love your videos! And good point on watching videos thru to the end to support skate youtube channels. We don't always think about the algorithm, but it's always at work in the background, so it's good to watch videos by the skate community all the way. Some of us already do this, but it doesn't hurt to be reminded!
I enjoy your videos and watch to the end. I'm glad you explained to the viewers why that is important. I just started my channel and learning much about skating and about TH-cam.
Great instruction man. Gettin back into skating lately, I remember being able to do this as a kid! Hopefully will have the confidence to do it again in the future. Keep up the sick vids
Great advice as usual. I gotta get back out to the spine. I made it as far as stalling on top and dropping back in, haven't worked out how to get any air yet. Next time!
Wicked video has given me to info I need to build my balls to air the spine, well explained and easy to understand the individual elements, thankyou 👍👍👌👌🙌🙌
I've never been able to find a video on how to get on top of a ramp. I can carve them I can get to the top etc but any time I get to the top the method I have to use is land on my knees. I've never seen anyone make a good video on how you're supposed to straighten out or whatever you need to do to actually go over the coping and land on top of the ramp or even to just smoothly transition over the coping
Nice! Thats a tutorial i missed on TH-cam, perfect that you filled this gap! I have the problem that i lean to far back when in the air, so the land on the quarter makes me fall (rolling down a quarter with too much weight on the heels is not fun). Any tips on that? How can i manage to jump such that i land properly on the quarter? Imagine rolling up a quarter from left to right. Let the \ and / be my body position (leaning backwards/forwards). When rolling up a quarter, you are like in this position: \ But, for landing, you have to be in this position: / How do you transist your body from one position into the other? I tried jumping more forward but that didnt worked out.
What helped me back in the day (1996?) was to stall on top, but try to gradually make the stall as short as possible. When your weight is far back, it takes a long time to come around over the coping. When you crouch right down and try to go over it low, the stall gets shorter and you learn to initiate that forward roll as you skate up the ramp. As you get more proficient, your touch on the coping will get lighter and eventually you are able to just pull your heels up and float over it.
Good video dude! There's two spines at my local and I've hit one of them but don't do it often cause I'm sketched out by it but maybe I'll hit it more often now
Love that plug for all blading channels!
You're the best man!

Thanks for the tip dude, definitely gonna try the spine out this week, always been hesitant
Good video! I love the how to's.
Truly awesome!!! I'm 35, and have learned how to stall in a quarter pipe, because of you! Thanks bro! It's such an amazing workout!
Rock on!
Thanks for the message, will let everyone's vid roll on from now on. Digging the content.

Did you end up doing that boost video?
0 dislikes. Just what you deserve. Keep it up my man 🙌🏼
Great video thanks for making it. I really like the shifty you do when you air it. Spines for me are sketchy but like you say you just gotta commit.

Haha my spine go |

That's right, I have *_S C O L I O S I S_*
Great as always! I have hit 2/4 spines in my park :) Easy to overfly and land on flat.
Other two are big and creepy, but I will get there :)
top tips as usual. thanks again man you assure
