Greetings from Barcelona, Spain, 44 Years old and returning to skate after 32 Years, since 80's , now with my 9 year old son. Very good tutorials, I recently find and subscribe this channel and I think one of the Best that I found. Keep going man!!! And thanks a lot!!!!
These are so good man! I'm from Fife in Scotland, 32 years old and been back skating for about a year and a half after 15 years off. Built a couple of ramps in my workshop and love skating transition. Sick work bro
57 years from the Netherlands, love your detailed explanations and the fact you demonstrate each time the bailout pattern. Sliding on your knees feels so much better than slamming on your hips :)
29 years old here! From Spain! I’ve been skating for over a year! Can’t stop it. Planning to come visit in Minnesota! Thanks man to share the content with we all, keep it up please! Big hug Trog! Much respect👊🏽❤️
From Spain but living in Abu Dhabi, 42 years young and just getting my first olies over the curve after 6 months of hard work at like hell hot temperatures 😅. Skateparks still closed around here due to the Co-bug 🙄... but your videos gonna make all the difference for me once they are open again! Keep them coming! 🍻🐒🎉
Denver metro area, CO, and feeble is one of my faves...super dorked out, rail and 1 wheel on the deck pushing toes to hold the board on it's rail. Fun!
If I've learned anything at all from these videos is that I skate too tow heavy. I've been struggling with feebles and came back again and watched this. It was my darn heel. For pivots I was locking all the way in, with all but one wheel on the deck. Which works if your heavy on the toes. Problem is when I got to feebles I kept getting pitched into the ramp. So I came back and watched this again. I finally got it and started practicing pivots on my heel. It feels totally different. Once I got comfortable I tried the feeble again and I got it. Devils in the details, you got to get the weight on the heel. Thank you for posting the details. Takes a bit to get through my thick skull but I got there. Keep up the good work I enjoy you videos and appreciate the help.
@@Dave0Star Just got to focus putting your weight your back heel. Pivots were the key. I'd practice two or three heel pivots and then go back to trying feeble. The other key was getting the wheel up far enough over the coping. For that you got to scoop the board up with your toes then switch to your heel. Try a mellow ramp first. It's more forgiving. Then work on a steeper ramp.
55 year old from Vancouver Canada, haven't skated in 40 years and decided on my birthday to learn to skate transition. These lessons are helping so much, hitting rainy season so might have to get a quarter pipe to ride in my garage. Keep up the great tutorials, Thanks
@@sevidg I went and checked it out when they were first building it and haven't gone in to ride yet, kind of forgot about it. I'm going to have to go, the ramp on the left when you walk in looks like a good size to learn to drop in
55YO from the Netherlands, started 5 years ago on a cruiser to fill in the many nonsurfable days here. Since 2 years quite fanatic to get better doing transitions
Yo! 45 year old fart from Holland. Picked up skateboarding again (was maried to my deck from 1988 untill 1996) So RE-learning again and your tutorials are very, very welcome. You should come to Europe sometime!
Digging the info and tutorials! Viewing from the beach in NC. Any advice on learning on a 4-5' mini ramp? My local parks only have that size. So progression is a little slower cause the radius of the quarter pipe is steeper at the coping.
For sure the higher the ramp the lower you get on your board. when ride a 5' ramp I tend to bend my knees like 6" . I try to stay in a more aggressive riding stance. hope that helps you.
Germany here. Love the trick tips and tutorials. I built a 4 ft backyard mini during the lockdown this year. I used a “film-faced-plywood” as riding surface but that’s really slippery. Do you have any ideas to make it grip a little better? I tried various wheels already but it’s still a slippery slope all the way... thanks man!
Maybe a suggestion: consider showing the trick from more angles, perhaps add a slomo? The last point i'm not so sure about because i like the "single take" concept, and we can of course adjust the playback speed. Nevertheless, slomos with in particular the entire body shown help me a lot to figure out how to do a trick or move myself.
id have to see an example but sometimes people try to turn to early and powerslide into these backside stalls and smith is where you land. Other times there is too much rotation and back foot toes are off the rail to much creating a back smith lock in. send me a clip if you like on insta or link your youtube clip. Ram it Down
Bigger wheels go faster and lock in easier. I ride lots of vert and bowl so anywhere I can save energy I do. 56mm is a great all around wheel in my opinion
Virginia Beach. You are the best mini ramp teacher on the web. Thanks for always breaking down everything down in such detail.

same problem here. any tips for landing with more weight on your heels?

I’m from van too. We have a nice indoor park in poco. Low transitions and perfect for learning. Hit me up :)

@@howsoonisnow1127 Pitt meadows skatepark is awesome to learn at. Has a small spine, quarter pipes , banks, etc…
@@sevidg I go there once in awhile, my Mom lives just down the street, I go to Railside in Poco as well
@@howsoonisnow1127 rail slide is close to me but pool section is huge :) ruff concrete too, hurts when fall :)

I learned to feeble when I had too much speed for axle stalls, it seems mind-blowing that someone could could learn pivots before feebles :D

Nowadays I am doing the multi angle. And everything you're talking about. Thanks for the suggestions.
Yo, any reason why I go into a smith stall when trying a normal pivot 😅

@@trogarmy really ? Are you half Czech ?
@@qualemigarbawhichilike6865 I am not but all my friends were.
What size deck do you use?
Im on a 8.6" with 60mm wheels
@@trogarmy I'm on same size deck , with 54 mm wheels are 60 mm better for transition, thanks
Bigger wheels go faster and lock in easier. I ride lots of vert and bowl so anywhere I can save energy I do. 56mm is a great all around wheel in my opinion
@@trogarmy great thanks for advice, much appreciated
