1 Year of Motivating Skateboard progression at 25

what's good skaters welcome back to another video today we're going to be going over some skateboard progression giving our thoughts and just seeing if we can maybe add anything to it give out a little bit of help to anyone else that might be trying to learn how to skate all that being said we've got Giovani sto onee skate progression as you see the channel is Slater here we got 2.8 mil views on this which is pretty mad so we're going to full screen that and we're going to go through this and see what we think at the age of 25 already I love to see that people star skating at a later age it's great to see the progression of these two nice this is one of his like first ever sessions then this is extremely good almost it that's why it's always best like slightly lean forward when you drop in cuz it's always best to fall forward rather than back you know what I mean at least you can see where you're going here decent Ollies decent ollies he this is I mean that's pretty good for the first day I actually not I suppose this is over months isn't it I'm being an idiot I've been watching so many of them videos where people say they're learning stuff in a day that I'm like immediately skeptical but obviously this is real because he's doing it over months as you can see we're already a month two so let's continue see it took this guy over a month to learn how to ollie and he's got the same sort of muscle definition as the guys that we've reviewed in previous videos that were clearly pissing about having a little go in the pools so this is some of the most fun skating to be honest if you're just gun it around a big ramp okay let's see if we can offer some help here all right so we're going for this Ollie his shoulders are in line with his feet as he pops I would say that front foot could come down the board maybe a tiny bit maybe sit just like here if you want to get a nice olly let's see the pop let's go frame by frame in the pop okay so the knees come up the back foot comes up but he's not putting any weight onto the front foot right so that's why the board is like staying more vertical and then not coming down till like here it's more coming down on its own rather than him controlling it and pushing it down to the ground and because of that the board then goes off AIS and his shoulders misalign with his feet and it all becomes a tragedy from there so just make sure you keep that front foot shoulders in line with each other and put the weight onto the front foot after you've popped to level it out just like that not bad not bad at all okay same skate park month three now we're zooming through this first pop shove see this is actually realistic skateboarding progression man I like to see this stuff this puts like you don't want to have all these videos showing people learning stuff in like an hour 20 minutes because it just makes other people that want learn how to skate think if I can't do it in that time why am I even bother him sets unrealistic expectations which is what people fail to realize yeah we got some 180s first front 180 that was also my first 180 air out the quarter pipe not bad got some decent height on that too as well man hell yeah and that like body posture in the air having your arms spread out and like I have this thing sometimes when one of my arms goes behind me and it can really mess you up so having this good like y shape posture is good for when you're in the air for sure okay we're one further way through the air yo fakey big spoon Slappy curb water slide you'll find the like this guy the progress kind of like compounds and builds fairly quickly over time so you'll start off and you'll be learning super super slow you might get a few things here and there and then you'll get to a point where you'll learn a bunch of stuff quickly and then it sort of levels out and you've got to grind for the next level up the skill Gap in skateboarding can be so steep to like flat line and steep again it's crazy it's such a unique sport like that he flip attemp with tow drag that was yo heel flips already I assume as this guy is in his mid 20s he's probably not got all the Time in the World to skate so this is great progression so far and it seems he's got a lot done this month foli he's done a heal flip already o up this um Manny pad too there nice nice all right we're hitting the halfway point off the ledge and you can see he's starting to get a bit of style as well right so like when they're going down the ramps you can see that the stance is withstanding a lot of the impact good balance on that that was a solid 180 compared to that last month 180 that was clean height comes with time that's dope man that first kick for the feeling and it looks legit as well this guy's love like he's not too overreacting you can tell he's worked hard for it you know what we got next they air out the quy first fakey big spin I'm just going to bun this music down a wee bit 8 foot ball jeez coming out an 8ft ramp man that's quite a big ramp and especially way I always measure it right is like especially if you're standing at the top of it it's not just an 8ft ramp it's 8T plus the 6 foot of you on top of it or say five for average five foot your your eyes are like 13t off the ground so it's way scarier than what it is in my opinion at least I always thought that when I was a kid I like this fit I can't can't lie that champion jerse is pretty sick yo that was clean man and he's like the look on his face straight gas hell yeah like shocked gas though and you could tell he's getting comfy because look at the way he's pumping over these humps riding the waves another great tip for new skaters is just do this honestly just do what he's doing and get used to pumping the transition strengthen up those legs a lot moving heel flip yo that was pretty nice okay let's see where we're at I mean that was kind of similar to the one we saw earlier in the video 180 on the ramp yo solid kickflip in the parking lot pop shove it okay we've not done too many new things there's not a lot of oh that was a big one well that did look like he came off at the end let's review that but I don't know about that one Chief month nine first backside 180 like one of the most notoriously difficult 180s I know some people don't struggle with it but the majority of people that I've met really struggle with the backside compared to normal compared to front side oh little twep this is another trick that for some reason I battled with for ages when I was a kid just mentally I was always such a little wimp as a kid but that does go away with age they do say that um exposure therapy is definitely the best right the more you go down a ramp the easier the ramp's going to be and so on and so forth As you move up the heights front board side this is still this is a trick that I still don't really frequent that much okay yo that was the whole thing as well not bad I love them little Slappy curs very rare to see them these days very rare to see them knocking about Little Indie grab front board of fakey again it seems he's learned a bunch of tricks at like the beginning level of skateboarding and then he's sort of got to that bit where you sort of Flatline and there's not a lot of more tricks that you can learn you're just sort of perfecting the ones you can do so then you can build off those in the future like this for example he was getting shoets and kick flips and now we're getting varal flips a year in and that's great progress man now we're going for a front side full cab and before anyone says a full cab can only be a backside watch the nine Club episode Steve cabalero literally says it can be front side or backside and he invented the trick so get off my ass you goona anyway back to the video oh Ollie down the Gap too nice going to hit the ledge ball slide oh oh not bad man not bad a little wide ledge ball slide it's a nice shot too that's clean but a lot cleaner than the first one although the airs haven't like I will say the airs haven't progressed much they're all pretty much the same height but that's something that I feel I don't really like you need just so much speed to get a good height out the quarter pipe in my opinion yep normal ball slide Little Rock and Roll on the quarterpipe that looks like a fun little quart pipe set up the middle one the tiny one in the middle and the two either side front side heel flip fakey obviously nice down the Gap little front show off the ledge this is a really realistic skate video for someone's progression in in my opinion if you were to set your goals similar to what this guy is doing or even not quite as advanced I would say that would be a great first year for your skateboard Journey TR flip maybe oh jeez not quite though you can see he stepped off that I think this guy is actually I'm going to you know he's probably not uploading still but I'm going to subscribe because I thought some that was some solid skateboard progression if you guys have any more progression videos you want me to check out and maybe offer some advice on let me know I'll see you in the next video oh and if you got this far please do consider becoming a member because a lot of these videos get demonetized but this one should be fine anyway thank you guys big love see you in the next
