- Skateboarding at 44 years old... It's been a year since I last tried to learn shuv-its. A trick that's supposed to be simple, but I found incredibly difficult.
#beginners #over40 #skateboarding
Dude, I just noticed all the early attempts line up with the song. That's some next level editing there! You're right though, it's crazy how as we age the fear turns something pretty simple into something really hard. We just have to put the reps in!
"Rodney Mullen take note" I laughed so hard... thank you for your videos !
As long as you only laughed where I intended 🤦🏻♂️ Thanks so much for watching!!
If you tighten your trucks you'll have way better balance. For example. I have mine so fine tuned now to the point where I only have to loosen/tighten a quarter turn to get them right or all out of whack lol I also use hard bushing on the bottom and medium ones on the top. And my back truck is tighter than my front (for balance but still being able to turn).
"... well that was more dangerous than just commiting" is definitely the half way point for me when trying scary Parkour hops.
Just for the record, I've watched a few of your vlogs now and Ive been enjoying them - keep it up 👊
It translates. And my barrier in PK is the point where I know it’s possible will full commitment but don’t want to risk my brains ability to give up on me halfway through a jump.
Love seeing you out there winning those battles man!! Well done keep pushing
they are few and far between. give me 2 months to get this locked and i'll push for something else.
Stoked you managed to push through and land it, well done! Your attempts are exactly the same as mine are now... I need to get out and just keep pushing to get that back leg on!
Even just getting that toe clip. It doesn’t pick up much but I was doing a lot of self-talk to commit with the back foot.
DOOOOOPE!
im celebrating with you!
I wish i had a better session myself today but i also know i got in my own way today.
Much love!
Are you sharing on Insta or anything. Would be cool to see your progress
@@Ungracefulmovement nah, im off the sharing train for mental health reasons. TH-cam is my only social media.
Hey just found your channel, over 40 London newbie here too, not quite at this level yet but getting there. Great to see the journey I’ll be taking too and inspiration to commit!
Welcome to the club! Unfortunately for me it’s not progress and very weak, this is a good milestone.
yeah, mate!!! painful to watch because i struggle with the same issue of "back-brain-half-commitment" but cheers, you finally giot it. now i feel its my turn to finally commit...
A lot of people can relate. The hour I spent committed to it has a point where you just go ‘what’s the worst that can happen if I commit’?
Well I’m with ya my man 46 stopped riding in the early 90’s just getting back on it and pushing was struggle bus but here we go! Gonna try them this weekend.
Take it easy dude! Have fun
fucking hell, I am 42 yo, now, and I am at exactly the same level of skateboarding as you are :D, keep it going man!
Thanks for watching. Hope you’re progressing quicker though 🤣
Going one for one with the deck and then the skateboard was a good step. I think this helped you a lot. Another thing that could be worth a try is doing them on grass or carpet this will take away the fear of slipping out on the concrete but still get you used the doing them on a full skateboard set up rather than just a deck.
I’ve been comfortable on the carpet board for a while. Was time to try and translate it for real.
Awesome dude, stoked for you.
Thanks. And thanks for watching.
Respect!
🙌🏻
Great Job! you could really see the mental block fade away once you got the toe on there. What you explained at the end about it hurting more not to commit is exactly the thought process I had while learning Blunt Fakies, I bailed so many and hurt myself until I finally committed to one where I still fell but it was a whole lot less painful than most of the bailouts I had. The amount of skateboarding that is literally just a mental battle within ourselves is crazy but it's part of what makes it one of the most rewarding things to do/learn.
god. putting trust in you body to do the same as it did the last time, or the board likewise, my brain cannot believe it. So to finally commit to take my body over to where the board will be... jeez. I am stoked on this one though.
Wow I’m so proud of you, I’m literally at this point in my skating now 😅
Push through and land these! I regret not committing a year ago. Some people find them easy, I don’t.
shuv-its are such a mental block for meee gonna do this tooooooo
:)
Ugh. I literally just tried to do some again and couldn’t. I hate skating
I had the same thing going on with the backfoot and not landing it. The other week i landin it a few nice times, even on the ramps. Its a great feeling when u finally nail it. U earned my sub. I love the progression, keep it up 🤘🏻
I’ve had a week of landing it now. Of course suddenly yesterday couldn’t land a single one. But I’m working on rolling now at least.
😂 missus… “why are clapping up there?” dont worry babe you wouldn’t understand 👊 I had a whole paragraph written and about to send and I saw that back foot toe clip… put phone down and BOOM! 🔥 🙂 job done!
yes mate. thanks. it had to be possible. still appreciate the support. moving next (goddam the thought of it)
@@Ungracefulmovement i practice on a carpet like you did and do a few where I land on front foot only! Imagining rolling away just on the front foot! Helps teach the front leg to catch it and it helps keep that back one in the air a little! I can’t pop my bs shoves yet. I feel you with the fear. I’ll either primo or wack my shin 😩
Good job man.
Shoves are sometimes hard for me too. Definitely more uncomfortable than Ollies.
I usually have to do several before I “ remember” how easy they really are. They’re freaky
You hit the nail on the head there. I was told to try and land them like that and can do it on a carpet board, but it’s easier said than done with wheels.
Oh also, I tried once as a kid and concussed myself (literally one attempt and it flew out under me) so the fear is all from that.
Stoked dude, welcome to the shuv club lol
Haha. You were out this day and you’re in the background. If I’m at the grove filming again you’re going in the edit.
Smashed it mate, always good to get a new trick. That mental barrier of getting that second foot on is always a difficult one to overcome. Looking forward to seeing what you try next.
God. I almost don’t want to try anything more. If I can get this rolling then I’ll look for more.
@@Ungracefulmovement you got it mate. I’ve always found tricks easier to learn rolling, just a little bit I think helps with the balance.
Great work mate! It's so so hard to commit to landing on the board, you saw my similar struggles with the no comply shuv, and I struggle with this one too. But you showed that determination and repetition pays off! Now don't neglect it and try to get one every session!! Also cheers for the shout 😎
since that vid I've "landed" 25 a day - bloody knackering
@@Ungracefulmovement Wow!
amazing haha congrat man, i have complications with this trick too you inspired me, tomorrow i gonna do it too. say hi to BRAZIL PLEASE, NOW YOU HAVE A NEW FOLLOWER FROM HERE
Amazing and good luck!! Thank you for subscribing, we are international now!
🤙🤙
I discovered that because my back wheels would never actually have to leave the ground, fakie shuvs were much easier for me to learn than regular shuvs.
I’ve tried a couple Fakie and it didn’t feel right at all. I’m trying moving a bit now and it’s going to be regular all the way. Have you tried pop-shuv?
@@Ungracefulmovement Funny enough I prefer to do shuv it in fakie and pop-shuv regular🤣
Hey I would love to skate with you one day. I just moved to UK from Malaysia. Its raining all the time here make me so depressed haha. Subbed
Hey. Thanks for subbing and wtching the video!! I'm afraid rain is something you're going to have to live with 90% of the time.
@@Ungracefulmovement I'm still watching your videos right now. Good progression mate. Keep the videos coming
It's mad how as soon as you get both feet on, no matter how sketchy, your brain then unlocks the mental block of being like, 'oh that's actually quite safe'. It's all in the fucking mind... well a lot of it is in the mind, not all of it. Cos technical and that... but maybe technical skill is in the mind too. I guess it is isn't it, just a different type of execution of the mind. Like the same but different. Two seemingly unlinked attributes that are actually dictated by one central scrutiniser ( ref. ). Or maybe one is the mind (the fear) and one is the brain (the technique). But surely they influence each other. I reckon Jacques Lacan might know. It's like a battle and and a partnership at the same time, mind over matter (is 'matter' the brain? And why not work together rather than trying to get one over on each other). The metaphysical vs the physical, kairos vs kronos... We'd all be better off if these things worked together harmoniously. But can they, or do they, or would we? Also come to question, which comes first, technique or fear factor. Once you're over the fear factor, then you can focus on refining the technique. But actually you need a bit of technique first, to then overcome the fear, and then improve the technique. These are important questions that definitely need an answer before anything else can happen.
I agree.
