As someone who knows how to do backside airs..this is an excellent tutorial..
Thank you really do appreciate that, I know there’s a lot that goes into doing them so just trying to be as descriptive as I can!
Thanks man! Getting this trick is one of my main motivations for coming back to skating in my 40s. So classic, always in style. Hoping to nail mine in 2021! Thanks!
So very sick Winston!! I’m rooting for ya! You got em for sure this year!!!
Over 40 over here too, stoked to try and learn these this year...thanks Al!
In my 40's too and jumping back on the board. I can't help myself with all these crazy skateparks everywhere
Did you land it yet?
Oxnard skatepark! My favorite park. Nice backside airs too.
This is the best backside air tutorial I've seen
Really useful detailed guide. Would love to get these. Only time I get over the coping at the moment are grinds and fly-outs. Backside air is on bucket list. Subscribed based on this video
Great lesson!
Great tutorial keep the videos coming 👊🏼🔥
Sick video. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Watching this over an over again after I had my first successful moments watching your bs air tips at zack‘s channel. There one moment really helped me to overcome my fear and just go for a try. It was when you popped a supersmall ollie with a short timed nose grab below coping. So I realized if my transition is steep I can start with it there. All other tutorials go from kickturns with nosegrab directly to over coping grabs. Now that I got my first nosegrab experience I lose my fear of trying it more safe and controlled over coping. Now this video and your motion in the air comes in handy! Thanks for that! The way you try to describe every possible tip that could help doing a trick makes the difference to other youtubers making tutorials.
I can’t do a backside air but watching this video has gotten me closer than I’ve ever gotten before before I couldn’t even try it before because I didn’t know any practice steps before just going into the in the air because most tutorials just tell you to Ollie or to just do it after they show you the steps to doing it but I am really glad that he said that he likes to kick turn and grab the board because it helped me a bunch
Thanks for the tutorial!! Im going crazy about transition skating right now because i never had a skatepark where i grow up and now in my town there is a lot of transition. So i get frustrated that i can only skate ledge and bank. Now i have way more fun going all around the skatepark and doing some little tricks on the quarter pipe!!
Thanks Al good trick tip :)
Al! Thanks this is great! Just subscribed too 👊🏼🤙🏼! Appreciate all the helpful vids! 🙏🏼👊🏼🤙🏼💯❤️🛹
Thanks Al!! I may need to relearn those soon! ( I may even need to head to Oxnard skatepark to follow this video ) turning 54 soon
That wallie back-tail in the intro was fire! Is that Oxnord park? I want to go! Boosting those airs at the end.
Thanks brother!! Come out anytime, you got a place to stay
AL!! What’s good brother! I’ve been getting back into riding park an just stumbled across your channel! Good shit dude 👍
That is really helpful. You described the process really well. Thank you!
Thank you glad you liked the video!
Awesome vid thx for sharing
Of course homie thanks for watching!
Awesome vid, been doing bs airs with no grab for about a week now, getting down to grab the nose is such a weird feeling
Thank you! And that’s so rad, I feel it’s harder without the grab, sounds like you are killing it!! I feel you there it’s very awkward at first but in time it becomes like second nature. You got em homie just keep going for it!
Al better transition skater than Zack . Great style 🤙
Thanks
Yeah, tutorial was execelent, but we don't have transition like this :)
This is the first thing im going to try next session 🤩
Hell ya Max you got it man!!
Did u get it??
Naw man I fractured my shoulder and got addicted to painkillers and crashed my car on them :(
Great trick tip,
Question: what’s the trick to keeping your back foot solid on the board to go back in on vert? It always feels like it my back foot is not sticking to my board and I don’t want to go back in if I bonk, if I Ollie it doesn’t bother me but I can’t go that high
one of the bbest tutorials ive seen
Back to back alley opp
Great tutorial - I've been trying to get BS Airs but haven't committed to a 'proper' one yet. My attempts are various styles & techniques and sketchy landings or slams. On the finer aspects of landing, are you looking at the front of board or more towards your rear truck bolts to check you're not going to hang up?
For the most part I’m looking at the front of the board once I go up and grab the board I know I’ll be pulling out slightly so I avoid hang up, when looking down you shouldn’t see anything else but the transition and when you see just that you’ll know your good and won’t hang up. If you see the coping when your about to land maybe your not pulling out enough causing you to hang up. I had that trouble for a long time as well. Trying on hips and other obstacles as well is a very good way to get feel for the trick in general. Hope this helps! Good luck
I am trying to get this trick down by the end of 2021!
You got it Jean! Just keep going for it, and take it to different obstacles like fly outs hips and flat walls really helps getting used to the feeling of doing the trick! Good luck
Thanks again Big Al! The only vert I have is a 11ft bowl, I have started to do kick turn grabs, but too scared to take it up to the coping! Do you think a "scrape air" below the coping would work?
Most definitely. Especially with 11 ft you should be able to start catching the moment the transition becomes vert. May just have to pull your board a bit harder in order to catch some air, but by doing that it will give you more confidence to start going up and past the coping. You got it Winston!
@@BigAlSkateTutorials thanks for the encouragement bro!
Our bowl doesnt have vert, lets hope i survive tomorrow.
Edit: I survived, couldnt complete the trick had to flee because my shoe broke lmao, but had a hard time grabbing the board at the top so tried to grab from the bottom of the bowl, working my way up. IT WoRKED. 15 min latter i was able to grab at the top of the bowl. However, i cant lift off for some reason, next time ill try harder, i can already feel it.
Did u land it?
@@trevorsb not yet dude, i tried today again after 2 weeks of rain, it was ok already lifting off, had a couple of small airs, i think next time ill be able to do it
@@leredditcommander8208 yeah ive always wanted to learn these, my bowl is probably 5 feet deep though, is that good enough?
@@trevorsb Yeah, ours is 6. However, practice first without going over the coping or you will hang up.
@@leredditcommander8208 practice which part exactly?
so effortless looking! one day i'll try to put an air down. you think this or fs airs are easier to learn at first? I know you have a mean fs air
Truthfully I have always found frontside airs easier, but from most skaters I’ve talked to they would say backside air is easier. I guess backside air is a lil safer at first because you see what’s going on the whole time as far as what your feet are doing on the board and how to spot your landing. If you have pads available and vert I would start going for the backside airs! And thanks Kyle for your support since day 1
@@BigAlSkateTutorials Makes sense! I'm comfortable with fs airs on a hip at my local, quarter to down ramp hip, and fs early grab on flat wall half way down on vert. I guess I just gotta go for it and put the fear behind me. And of course, love your skating and attitude toward it all! So glad I found Dowdy's channel during quarantine and in turn all your socials!
Awesome video! Whats the song thats playing in the intro?
Thank you!! Honestly it was a non copyright song I found on Spotify, key words I looked up were background rock music and it was one of the first selections. Hope that helps.
@@BigAlSkateTutorials Thanks man! Can't wait to see what new content you release!
I’m having a problem of my back foot always coming off and bailing
he was once little al…
Hahaha glad somebody caught that!!
How tall are you?
6’5 most of time. 6’6 on good days haha!
Good video, but that transition does not go to vert at all.
2 feet of vert in fact ox park goes
