- Rookie Mistake #2 is not rotating your shoulders. We've all done this, when trying spinning tricks. I break down why it's important, and how to execute properly in this video.
Let me know which tricks you’d like to learn in the comments. Thanks for watching. This playlist contains all of my previous trick tips: • How to Pressure Flip

As a skater who is hovering on the beginner to intermediate level, I have enjoyed your trick tips, but also these recent videos within the past year discussing different aspects of skateboarding (the skate community, mentality/perspective, and other skateboarding idiosyncrasies). Keep up the great work and I’m glad to hear you are doing okay after that concussion.
Thank you. It seems like there’s a lot of skaters interested in this type of video. I’m planning to make many more.
Thanks man, I’m really thinking about skating in different ways now, I’m squatting more and trying to be more conscious about maximizing my energy usage throughout my board, the whole kinetic chain etc. thanks man. You’re actually the best at this. It’s real, it’s not holding your hand, it’s just explained and broken down in a way that someone as poor as comprehension as me really gets it!
I thoroughly appreciate your comment, and you watching my vids. I do my best. But, comments like yours keep me moving forward. Much luck and enjoyment in your skating and everything you do.
@@NormanWoods YO! I did it! I ollied up a box and like perfect. Bolts !! The craziest feeling ever over coming something I accepted I was either never gonna be able to do or was too afraid to try after skating so long and fearing being seen as a newb. I just gotta focus on MY progression instead of what others think ya know?
@@JilesRyan congratulations! Yes. I know exactly what you mean. It’s actually another Rookie Mistake topic: socializing instead of skating. Skating is much more fun with friends. But, it’s very common to end up spending your time sitting at the spot/park, chatting before it’s time to go home and you realize you’ve hardly skated. I make a point of trying to find a good balance between social and skate time.
When you landed that back 360 down that gap.... that look into the camera was Straight Gangster!! Your covering principals with skating that really no one talks about. Thank You.
Thank you sir 🙏🏾
Great explanation, thank you!
Love your videos bro! Stellar work keep it up!
Your videos are really helping, thanks a lot
Love these, keep up the great work!
Thank you! Recording a new one soon.
Love the series!
the whole x an y axsis thing was great! you have a unique way of talking about skating that has totally changed my perspective, thanks man
Rewatching all the rookie mistakes videos, they help a lot, thanks Norman🙏🏻🤙🏼😎
Finally!Great stuff man ! Thank you
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Thanks for doing those Rookie videos. I really appreciate you putting in all the work.
Thank you for watching! New one on the way.
All the information you're saying really makes me think of smaller things like squatting also, i like what you said about our skateboards being anatomic objects they only respond to the energy we put into it
Love these tips! I appreciate you for taking the time to create and upload these. I have already seen huge improvement in my ollies from your squatting video. This video was also easier for me to follow since the background music was a bit softer. Keep it up!
Glad you enjoyed it. Concussions and audio mixing don’t go together well. Luckily I seem to have healed. More of these on the way.
Excited to try this pop timing in my backside 180 practice! It’s been so weirdly hard to get that one to work.
Greetings from Norway.
Fucking great skating, and high educational quality on your videos. Its helpin my 40 year old body to progress in tandem with my 23 year old brain. If you put in the time to actually practice all your tips and exercises in these rookie mistakes videoes. You can actually sense that your executing your trix better and better by the minute! Thx man! I wanna betone a patreon!
Pardon my french!
Lars.
Always happy to hear that these are helpful. Thanks for watching, for your support, and for commenting. It’s feels so good to get tactile, when you’ve altered your movements, and are now pulling your trick better. Glad to help you achieve this sensation.
Thank you so much for the tips, I’m working on my squatting, and shoulder rotation for 180* Ollie’s up and down curbs🙏🏻🤙🏼😎
You’re welcome and thank you for watching. Let me know when you get them.
Love these rookie mistakes videos.
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Good stuff!… it took me a while to figure this out. I’ve found now I do my back 180’s a little late. But even then I’m rotating my shoulders through the trick, im just letting my legs linger for a split second before I rotate my legs. So the top half of me is still rotating. Honestly though I like how they look when there a little late. Plus that skirt sound of the wheels is addictive!… lol
Very down for the next parts
I have that issue with nollie 180's. My lower body completes the rotation but I'm usually looking the wrong direction when I land. Thanks for this video!
love the pics on the wall, the monk/priest is hillarious
Quality shit right here 🔥
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
yo i watched the other video on crouching more and letting yourself be a spring as you land I gotta tell you that I can ollie higher now and land softer, I thought that my squat was as low as I can go but I heard what u said in that video and it works my g, thanks
Thank you! I’m happy it worked out for you. The squat can be tiresome at first. But your legs get used to it.
@@NormanWoods yeah dude big thanks to you man
Great video as always! When looking really carefully at your 360 at 4:20, it looks like it's the shoulders / upper body that are leading the way the first 180 degrees of the rotation, and dragging the hips / lower body / feet (in that order) along. Then, for the remaining 180 degrees of the rotation, it looks like it's the feet that are leading the way and dragging the hips / upper body / shoulders (in that order) along. So it almost seems to work like this: Wind up shoulders 90 degrees in the opposite direction, turn shoulders 180 degrees in the desired direction, wait for the lower body to rotate 360 degrees, which will (eventually) drag along the upper body to the full 360 degrees. A thing I realised quite recently, and I think the clip at 4:20 confirms this, is that it's THE BACK shoulder / arm that's doing most of the work when it comes to initiating the rotation. It kind of looks like it's the front shoulder / arm, but I actually think it's the back arm / shoulder. The back arm /shoulder is "turned behind you" (towards your back), rather than turning the front arm / shoulder "in front of you" (towards your chest).
Spot on! If I ever start scripting these, I know who to call 🙏🏾
@@NormanWoods Hehe, if you're talking about adding transcripts, I guess an AI service will do a better job than me. I'm just trying to really understand what's going on in various skateboard tricks / movements. I have to rely on analysing / understanding stuff, since I have no talent ;)
Had to drop this for you big homie, Braille Skateboarding has a couple videos with Ebon Turner, gnarliest barefoot skater I've seen on YT
i have the propblem backside that i stop rotating and then pop and try to continue to rotate. ive had the backside rotation epiphany, im binge watching your videos atm haha, theyre soo good.
I did this too. In the age of not having a camera in my pocket. Didn’t see myself doing it until watching bails, while filming a trick! I hope yours is easy to fix.
yeah it totally was and was first try. I popped when my shoulders were parallel and continued to rotate. thank you so much!
you wanna talk about an AHA MOMENT SKATING. FIXING THIS TRICK NOW AT 38 YEARS OLD AFTER SO MANY YEARS.. lololol
@@danielwood5510skating is cruel like that. I remember when heelflips finally clicked for me, after ten years of skating.
I actually learned heelflips after Ollies like you talked about stationary. my heelflip is higher than my ollie, but my kickflip took longer to polish, however it's my preference flip down stairs or drops.
How to flip out of nose manuals? That would be a good one!
That’s a good one. It’s a bit advanced, and the more advanced tricks haven’t performed so well on here. But I’m gonna start making them for Patrons.
Get better, bless you, I am taking all your advice
Thanks buddy 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
@@NormanWoods ACUPUNTURE i think will help
@@ethikzmedia I need to try that
@@NormanWoods checkout your maps to see a local natural Chinese acupuncture clinic, its about $80 a seesion, it cured my ringing in my ear and so much more
@@ethikzmedia really!? Tinnitus?
On My Mother's Account, But YOU'RE AWESOME NORMAN!!!!! Great VIDEO!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!
I definitely have issues with shoulder rotation with many frontside tricks. Especially Nollie Frontside 180 and getting out of blunts frontside. Also switch backside is tough.
Nollie fs 180 tricks are tough. I was at a good point with them, years ago. But I stopped doing them, and it shows whenever I pull one out.
@@NormanWoods I'm the opposite, haha. Nollie FS flips all day but couldn't do a nollie BS flip to save my life.
@@AlexNiedt that’s so crazy to me.
Personally, I'm coming from learning to surf skate to broadening my skills to street boards. Much of my pumping is still a work in progress and teaching myself the basics does flow back. Lately my focus has been on 180 turns, which I still need much work on, especially when it comes to rotation of my shoulders.
Makes sense. It seems like the movement on those boards is concentrated in the hips and legs, more than the shoulders. All that experience will probably come in handy for you.
Hey Norman can you make a video on how to keep your Ollie straight? I have a good pop and front foot side but I’m twisting my body when I pop up and it’s turning my board frontside every time. I try hard to focus on not twisting/turning my hips and shoulders but I keep subconsciously doing it, causing me to land sideways every time
Talk about tight trucks vs loose trucks? Especially in grinds, if it’s benefits you to grind with them loose or if it doesn’t matter
Also post a edit of all your throwback clips, that bud 360 was 🔥🔥
Norman...you're 100% fcking rights.
I teach middle school math and my kids love to ask "when am I going to need to know this?" Im going to play them a clip from this video...
Do fakie rotations operate the same way?
🔥🔥🔥💯📈📈📈
Shoulders rotating was my biggest downfall when i started skating, kept landing parallel with the board till my homie held my shoulders while i tried to ollie so i could get that muscle memory lol
what is that monk doing in the picture above your left shoulder ?
I am beginner and i alawys try to skate like a pro and this cause alot off learning problems
yoooo hahaha i just realized the photo behind you come on now hahahahahaha
bro im trying learn about skating ahahahahaha and ive been skating for 20 years :) finally good at it kinda im 26 i like lock wood lil tables and lil 6 rails haha thats where im at! and wall ride the world! ps glad your better back 3 and bs flip so gnar! awhh and do the video on personality you said that at the end and it struck a chord in me like the ever long tuning haha!
I skate goofy. I can ollie sideways up a curve to the frontside but I can’t ollie up a curve backside
