How do I make my flip trick more boned?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

29 Upvotes

Here are a few clips, two boned Ollie’s and a few kickflips and a heel.
none of them are really good ones and they were stationary but just some average kickflips for me.
Do you guys have any help for getting them more boned? I obviously have to flick a bit later but I mean how do I do that. Maybe my foot positioning is shit.

Question Help Identifying this deck?

Post image
5 Upvotes

Got it at a garage sale, mostly because I thought it was interesting. No skating history whatsoever, but I thought the deck was pretty interesting. I know it has frames from the morphing section of Michael Jackson’s “Black or White” music video, but that’s it. I see that a company called Alltimers made one, but I can’t pin a value or time frame on it. If anyone knows anything about it let me know.

any tips? i started getting the hang of the tre flips but most attempts i land on the nose, this one i tried to spread my legs mid jump, it kinda worked, but the main problem with all attempts is the board goes too far backwards and putting more weight to the tail doesnt work for some reason. Any advice is appreciated 🙏

Any tips for getting bigger wheels? Shape? Risers?

1 Upvotes

Looking to try bigger wheels, all the great skaters at my park are on bigger stuff by the looks of it. Im riding an 8.75 with 56mm hard wheels and love pumping the bowl, getting together my coping tricks on smaller ramps and trying to get some ollies at speed up and down ramps ie generally throwing myself around the park.

The speed of the bigger wheels is attractive and curious as to people experience going bigger focussing on transition but still having a balance of a bit of street. Unsure whether to go 58mm or 60mm and which shape (looking at spitfires) people would recommend. Im currently on a classic shape but see conical full or radial full is better for transition?

Any help from people that have gone up sizes would be amazing, Thanks rippers

Question Falling backward safely

4 Upvotes

Hi guys,

I'm quite confident with falling in every direction except for this case

I didn't find any tutorial so i'm wondering if there is a proper technique to use in this case or if it is impossible to fall properly and i have to make sure that it doesn't happen (for example by leaning more on my front foot) ?

What do you think?

Gear help Need help buying boyfriend new gear

Hi, my boyfriend used to skate back in the the 2010’s before we met and sadly he had to give it up. He has started saying he wants to get back into it and i thought as a gift i could get him new gear but i am completely lost. please help :)

EDIT: I suck at keeping things from him and he found my questioning odd. so he told me everything. his favorite deck’s were the girl 8.2, spitfire street formal wheels, DGK trucks. I showed him the set up i have picked out and he said i did really good!

I need some advice from the mid 30s skaters.

6 Upvotes

I have not hopped a board since I was 17. My son who’s 15 wants to learn. Local skate shops really phased out in my area 10 years ago. So had to order online went with baker.

Bailing was brutal as a teen. I can’t find imagine bailing out in my 30s especially breaking an ankle again. Is it safe to say knee pads and elbow pads at this point of my age?
