I really wish there was that kind great advise to hear back in early 2000. Your skill to share your thoughts and teach complex things step by step is incredible. Greetings from Poland.
Totally! I'm 40 now, decent on street, but ramps.. oh boy, never got the hang of it properly.
Exactly, same here... I was around 30 and struggling with bs airs back then. Eventually learned them, but not without really screwing up my knee...
Seriously amazing channel. It's so great that a high level pro is doing free tutorials like this. It really motivates me to get back into skating.
My favorite part about this trick is that it can stay bucket list until you're at least 50. You can literally learn this trick at 45 if you want. Maybe even later
That’s a Good way to put it
I'm learning it at 35 and these methods work!
I’m 47 working on these. 🙌
I turn 37 in a couple weeks and I'm gonna learn these for sure
52....
awesome, i can't wait to work on these again. this explanation really helps compared to the other stuff ive heard
That's great to hear. thank you for supporting the channel like you do!
Incredible big picture coaching demonstrated by explaining the rewiring that would be necessary based off the other habit often learned first. A coach as good as Mitchie shows that it's okay if you learn something another way, just realize that there are plateaus and obstacles that'll come up based on habits. Flawless as always!
Thank you man! I’m happy it’s translating. And thank you for supporting the channel! More coming
Mate! You are such a good teacher. Thank you for all your vids
You have inspired me to get on a vert ramp to improve my over all skating - balance etc.
❤
Thank you! Hopefully its a fun ride !
SO fucking true. doing small grab airs on transition, and doing grab tailscrapes feel totally incompatible and its like wtf. so few skaters are artuculate and able to analyse physics in a way that they can talk about and not only be like 'yeah just feel it'
Trick whisperer
Not a bad tag
No doubt a good tag!
This tutorial hit deep basic truth...practice smart😊
@@Skateiqthank you!
I had a bad concussion surfing which resulted in balance and cognitive issues. I am healthy again and relearning how to skate and surf like I used to do.
I just wanted to say thank you from the most sincere place of my heart & soul. You are a big help in overcoming the trauma of injury and loss of memory.
@@Skateiq …it’s all you G
@@thestonedandstripped practice smart !
the way he explains makes it easier to picture yourself doing it. love this.
Damn dood …, I’m an old Whittier ( skate city) guy and was telling lance that he should do a trick class on TH-cam…, we learned them the hard way…. By hanging up on coping and eating cement!! lol. Good tutorial…. You should expand your lessons and repertoire to rock n rolls …. Fakies etc …. Thanks for your time!!!
repertoire and teach g
I did some computer screen tutorials but I wanna do some in person ones too
Thanks again
Love this. They even look sick under coping. Great advice... i tried rhe scrape method and never would get anywhere ... this seems way better and will practice it this way for sure
I m 56.tired of doing little air cause today i realize it was the wrong way!!!
You save life! A new life begin
glad to hear it man keep up the good work
First of all, your tutorials are freaking next level. I’m working on backside airs and this totally helps.
Secondly, were/are you an actor? Your emphasis and diction is so good. “And It’s just…not…true.” Hits the point! 🙌
You are the ultimate homie thanks for everything 🙏
Thank you!
Excellent job explaining Mitch.
Thank you!
@@Skateiq I'm coming to Huntington Beach Van's Park in May to Train with Cookiehead on the Grosso Ramp.
My son just started skateboarding and he's only 7 years old. thanks for the great lessons ! Wish i had a teacher like you when i was young. greetings from Belgium.
I'm 33 was practicing them today on a 5.5 foot. I've being practicing them for over 20 years! I still can't get over coping 😭 haha. This one has always been my bane
Finally made the video of the lesson I needed!
Sick!
Harvard lecture level instruction. Dudes been ripping so hard since he was like 5. Keep doing your thing Mitch🎉
You're the man, Mitch! 🤙
Thank you!
Thanks Mitchie 👊
Hey thanks I’m happy you like it !!
@@Skateiq now all I have to do is actually put it into practice. Tried the kick turn nose grab thing on and off for a couple of years and it just never felt right to actually take off and keep the board under me and then resorted back to early rail grab hops which are a road to nowhere and as you say a total speed killer.
Really want to get these happening as your videos make so much sense I just got to try and put it into practice. 🙏🏻👊🏼
@@NeilHesterSkateboarding that’s great ! Yeah I mean I can’t believe the only thing that people teach has been the kick turn nose grab
@@Skateiq it’s baffling but obviously worked out for some people , I’m not much of an Ollie guy getting old and the legs don’t work like they used to so I guess the idea of just floating a kick turn was a nice idea. Will give it a go with a minimal pop and see what happens, I probably weigh more than I should too so if feels like trying make an elephant fly 🤣 but I’ll try and work with the flow and see what happens.
yay the video ive been asking for.
Perfect!
I admire the fact there are so many skaters who own vert without anyone teaching them.
Nice! Thanks Mitchie. 😀🤙🏼
No problem!
Man this video dispelled some very fundamental misunderstandings I had on late grab airs
Best techniques ever!!!
Happy youre enjoying the content!
perfect timing. I just started trying early grab melons below coping
Perfect! Get away from those early grabs asap !
Thank you!
No problem
Dude this is like me if I covered vert, you speak my language, wish I found you earlier! lol
I wish I had this kind of tutelage when I was hitting the coping back in 1991 ;-)
A little before my time !
Thanks Mitch. 🛹
What exactly do you mean when you say "Releasing yourself from the ramp". Do you actually need to "jump off" / jump up from the board, or is it more/mostly/only about lifting/pulling up the knees/feet?
It’s mostly getting the process of your pump right so you can be weightless in vert so it’s easy to pick your feet up
Great tutorial man! Are you staring at the ramp right before you pop? I've struggled for years keeping that front shoulder in the ramp (im mainly on mini ramps 3 to 6'). Doing that nose grab has helped me keep that shoulder in the ramp immenensly. Problem i have now is i can do them nice below coping but as soon as get near it I ifreak out. Not sure its better to start low at a rainbow or low at more of direct staight up/down 180
Video is great and already applying in my practice getting my airs and grabs at coping and I’m running drills over and over. My question is though, once we are inching up and managing our way above coping, are we still executing an Ollie or are we bonking the coping to serve as our Ollie? Especially when you’re flying and get several feet out of the ramp, is it more the motion of an Ollie but the tail no longer needs to hit the ramp anymore? Thanks for the great coaching!
After you’re at the point where you can go out over the coping you can start to feel it out or submit videos for review. There’s not really a straight forward answer cause there are ways to do boyh
@@Skateiq amazing! Thank you for replying and great to know we can submit videos for review, will be doing this 🙏🏼
Bro spent the whole time telling me what not to do instead of telling me what to do
I dont have any vert half pipes around me, just some bowls with a few inches of vert. How different are the two? I can pop ollies out of regular wuarter pipes a few feet high but with vert in stuck just doing early grabs. I want to learn true air outs
I would have trouble knowing whats going on without seeing. vert is a lot softer and everything takes longer to do so it could be a number of issues, most likely the timing of your pump is a little off and lacking a bit of patience through the lip on vert. seems to be a very common combo
I have the same Problem just a bowl with like 4 inches of vert.
You think its still possible to learn those airs? Or is having a vert ramp key?
I wish i had a vert like this nearby , but awesome vid , thnx
Thank you! Don’t we all… I had to fly to Seattle to film these
Thanks fellow Mitch homie
No problem
Thanks for another awesome video. Any chance you can add some super slow motion airs to to your videos?
Please, Please make a video on how to do a board variel air .... i was ever ever to make one back in the day...i tried for months ....i never had the courage to stick the landing....youre the best .....
Thank you! Board varials will be a while away. There are a lot of fundamentals to do before that unfortunately
good stuff my friend.....looking forward to that day..... i saw tony hawk do a backside , 360 variel to disaster in a video today from 1990 ,......it was amazing ....ima try that one this year .......wish me luck people...ill need it @@Skateiq
Is this technique applicable on a smaller ramp? There's a 7-8'er at my local that goes just barely up to vert but doesn't extend into a proper vert wall, but it looks like it'd be a good spot to learn proper flat wall airs.
Would love to know the answer to this too.
Yes! But you have to pop wayyyyy harder to stay in the ramp. Go just to coping height and start working on it there. It’s easy to go too high …
@@Skateiq Awesome, thanks for the tip and for replying! Love all the educational content you're putting out, as a teacher it's really cool to see the way you approach these concepts and break them down into manageable pieces.
this shit just made me so confident lol
Now I need to rewire my brain from 10+ years of backside earlygrabs in small transition
Ur amazing
Just started practicing this way and this just made things click. However, I did notice that when trying to transition from a late nose-grab grip to a melon like you do in this demo that its deceptively more difficult than just a bs ollie. not asking for a video, just wondering if you also have some insight as to how I should go about learning melons and other grabs.
Just remember that the hard part is maintaining balancing as you pick your board up more and more. Focus on how youre falling out of balance and try to make little adjustments as you get your board higher and higher
I am more into street skating, and currently, I am into skating mini ramps or quarters. I am very comfortable with kickflips to fakies highly above the coping, but backside 'Airs' still feel very strange. So, my question is, can I apply those tips also on non-vert ramps?
I am not sure how to answer this over the computer without knowing how you skate. Mainly just using the same principles but instead of a backside air it would be like a back disaster
Where is your front shoulder pointing though?
🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Thanks !
Hey Mitchie! I’ve been trying backside airs and I can get it really close with the early grab but my nose comes up on the landing or I’m too squatted in it. When should I let go of my board to help prevent this?
Sooooo good 🧠 🔥❤️🛹🙏🏼🫵🏼👊🏼🤙🏼
Thank you!
It appears to require being able to Ollie?
Hey Mitch! You'r coming out to my skatepark Feb 10, I will be there, and you'r my skate idol. I would love to skate with you. The skatepark is called sk8 Charleston. it would mean so much if you could sign a board or helmet maybe? See you next Saturday!
I got you for sure!! Can’t wIt for charleston!
He dropped sw as if its nothing
Yea boii
thanks!
looks like it's 2 degree C where you are at.
Yeah that’s accurate it was cold as
Still didn't work. Been trying this since March 2024
My back won't stay on the board 😢
ive been trying to rejig my memory who this is... finally realised it is mitchie bruscoe
switch drop in like its nothing
I skated Vert for 10x2 years. and could never make more than 4-5 airs in a row... Feeling pretty useless :)
Nooo maybe it’s just a small change to make it happen
My bad , Just noticed you do…, lol. Masonite is so forgiving…. 🤙🏽
