@Zach Maxon I think vids do that best, and a lot of stuff out there is retired/ NEEDS to be updated to get people going with as little issues as possible. As Gabe just said lol. We have been pushi...

@Gabriel Fockler Fake news + weight on board 2 hand tony means kickflip mode + toesides arn't even real anyway + daniel doesn't even do them at like 35 I swear

You can do a 2 hand tony with weight on the board. You don't have to do them full pushup. Sounds like a skill issue if you can't do a two hand tony and lose speed ;)

@Gabriel Fockler The really far off the board is exactly what I argue proves to be dangerous, and I beleive that after the inital learning of toesides and if you choose to, 2 hand tonys, toesides a...

everyday is a new cringy beginners skate memory :D keep sliding

Aight, we all got one. I'll start: When I was 18 (a decade ago now 😬) I remember telling a buddy of mine I could skate any hill and that I loved speed, rather than technical stuff. I remember tel...

Here is a thread for experiances we do not want starters to recreate. :)

@Gabriel Fockler  What I'd like to see is a reboot of basic tutorial content. Style and body positioning has changed a lot in 15 years, and some of those old videos don't hold up.  ...

@Kyle Fugate @Tyler Cooke @Devin Gneiting Y'all win this one, chose your prizes. If one gets claimed, by someone else, its no longer availible.

Big agreement with Kevin's reply above. In order to grow the scene, we need new riders, media catered to learning, and sessions on hills that allow beginners to build their skill.    I ...

Two hand tony is kind of a double edged sword. When learning it's easier than a grab toe drift, but it gets you really far off the deck. When you're experienced and stay more on top, the second han...

Needs fresh full grip, but looks like a solid all rounder otherwise! Maybe a riptide inside footstop, unless you're ripping switch standup and need more mobility for the foot. 

We gotta make things accessible to the masses.  As viral videos get out there, we're seeing the top 10% of the sport take off...as Penny Boards and cheapo supremo Amazon boards have proliferat...

@cstik  I'm not arguing the usefulness of pushup slides at speeds, only their usefulness for beginners at speeds beginnners might panic.  We're on the same page here ...

I'm not arguing the usefulness of pushup slides at speeds, only their usefulness for beginners at speeds beginnners might panic. I personally have found them very safe up to 35 as th...

@Teplitzskate 🤣 just messin, good read youre also in the right profession for it so chalk it up as a positive

@cstik I have to personally disagree with this sentiment for a few reasons: The first is, I disagree with the idea that 2 hand tonys are safer at all, they are way less stable, their argued benifi...

I disagree, and here's why. Let's put ourselves in the shoes of a downhill beginner. You've just learned sick toeside predrifts, and it's time to throw down. You kick off and start heading down th...

@TRENTON N TETER can't argue with results if it's working then!

@Matt Needs Wheels how do I learn to not lecture people? lmao my wife hates it

I have had great success (borat voice) with taking my friends out to learn toeside predrifts grabing rail as their very first slide. Super short term, as in first 2-3 sessions, they likey fell more...
