There are pro skaters with alot of natural strength (athleticism) but wide hips like sean malto and diego najera. There are also pro skaters that do have narrow hips but not alot of natural strength.
What is more important?
Obviously you can have both narrow hips and high natural strength and youll be an axe murderer like luan or you can have wide hips and no natural strength and be a bitch like sheckler.
-
What about pros with hips like their mothers?
Shakira might have good pop, her hips don’t lie

I have honestly never once considered hip width in my 35 years of skateboarding. This isn't meant as an insult to you, OP...but it has never once crossed my mind. And I like dudes with big asses...and I STILL have never considered this as it pertains to skateboarding.
-
the skater must have a nice sized round ass to give them a good lower center of gravity, example jamie foy and his excellent rail balance.

The natural skateboarder will have a 1/4 mm indentation on the lower left side of their cranial skull behind the ear which is associated with structiveness and need of approbation.

You're going in deep on this whole hip thing aren't ya?

Buddy, what is it with you and hips?
I wonder if it's better to have an average size big toe, or a smaller than average big toe for skating? What about knee cap size? Blood type? Cut/uncut?

I have a neurotic attention to detail i got from my polish grandmother.
Just think of what narrow hips and a wide stance looks like. Like a pyramid right? Stable as fuck; like sheckler was in his youth when his hip width was much narrower than his board length.
Now think of a person with wide hips and a narrow stance- like an upside down pyramid. Does that look stable? Fuck no, it will fall over like a top.
Pay attention to the hip width of pros. You will notice the ones with narrow hips tend to be more consistent and more natural.
This is also why most female skaters look terrible and forced. Wide hips are a disaster if you want to skate well beyond your teenage years.

Its funny how you probly worship rodney mullen but still take pride in being a meathead, even though among really good skaters like mullen the meathead count is zero.

I think its because nonathletic girls only look attractive when they starve themselves to maintain the weight they were at age 16. A truly athletic girl will look pretty even with some meat on her.

I think gorilla style is mainly about looking like you have big heavy arms that dont move much like mike mo and antwuan dixon.
Gorilla hip width isnt much of a consideration.
Besides narrow hips
And natural strength, having heavy forearms is also a positive attribute for skateboarding. If your forearms are really heavy it will be like holding on to something and help balance greatly.

I've pretty good pop. I've always credited it with warehouse jobs when I was a teenager. One job was stacking flyers off a conveyer belt onto a pallet until pallet was full. Every 30 seconds for 12 hr shifts if the printing press kept running. Lift properly, you're doing a helluva lot or body weight squats. You could read in between stacks. Tip for the younger ones, work hard labor for a summer and lift properly, you'll gain alot of functional strength without size.

Nice. Georges st pierre was a garbage man for years before getting into mma i read. Lifting weights for 12 hours a day def makes you stronger than anything you do in a gym.

You’ve got a guy like Dennis Busenitz... all power, no hips.
Then we got Franky Villani. Nice, big, beautiful hips but maybe not the most power in the world.
There are, of course, outliers which science is still struggling to fully comprehend:

Bam at his peak was probably equal to luans ability 6 months after luan first stood on a skateboard.
But by all means, keep countering my argument with things suggesting peak bam compares to peak luan. Makes my job easier!

What are you talking about?
Most pro skaters have similar stance widths because most decks are approx. the same length. Diego najera rides
A 31.75 deck. But hes got pretty damn wide hips.
Its a disadvantage for sure but diego seems to have alot of power/strength to keep balance

Physics would suggest that wide hips with a stance to match would provide a more direct and more more efficient release of power.
If you think someone s hips being half an inch closer together is something you need to ponder (assuming you are thinking to improve your skating) then get a longer wheelbase. THAT is where the ratio works to make Westgate seem to get that little extra hang in the air. He’s shorter. Wheelbase ratio...✍️

Again, anybody who cant figure out that hip stability increases as hip width/leg Separation decreases is incredibly dense.

Kelvin hoeflers hips dont lie, his thighs have a girth of like 24" but it looks like his upper body has a slight genetic build of a fat Jim bates. Since Nyjah has been part of the fitness gang and been taking what he hoped was a undetectable dose of dbols he's looking alittle top heavy. I truly think he was more capable when he had the 'narrow hip' build

Probably because Bam was skating more than a decade ago and stopped before he could do anything worthy.

I've noticed that tall and skinny people almost always become fat later in life.
I think its mainly due to lousy diet/ beer and when you're young you skate a lot more and have a high metabolism. you stop skating your metabolism goes to shit but you keep up with your normal consumption so your bound to gain weight even if you used to be skinny.

Yeah. Your hips get wider naturally as you age either
Way. Just a consequence of aging. Ask
Anybody in their late 20s or 30s if their pant size hasnt changed from what it was when they were 16. s part of the reason skating gets harder as you age. Metabolism is part of it too for sure

I have wide hips and I feel they have hindered my progress in skating a bit compared to my friends with narrow hips who got much better at stuff like 360 Ollie's for example. I realized it long ago, but never thought about it physics wise. It makes sense though that its harder to balance I guess.

who fuckin cares, just go skate nerd

I have always considered it more about weight related to hight. Of course the average pro I would think is shorter than average with narrow hips. There are some short pros who are heavy and strong like Jon Dixon and Jamie Foy. Those to are called fat alot in the media, but if you see them in person they are very naturally muscular. They are almost built like gymnists. The perfect gymnist is fairly heavy and very muscular. That is somehow the perfect weight and muscle ratio for throwing you body arround.
All the tall pro skaters, and there are very few of them, tend to be fairly long and skinny: Figgy, Reynolds, who else?
I guess exceptions to the rule would be Brian Anderson or maybe Arto (he was super skinny though, when he won soty) who at least when they got older seemed to get wider? Is Chriss Cole tall?
What would a super athlete skateboarder produced in a lab look like? I am shure the chinese are already working on that problem...

Ideal body for skateboarding:
Short height
Excellent mobility
Excellent fine motor skills
Skateboarding is technique. You cant really power thru tricks too much, so its better to have great mobilty and fine motor skills to have very precise and smooth/consistent movement.
I've noticed myself that after I started to lift alot (bench 225, squat 330), my skateboarding has become alot less smooth and my body simply cant move in such a fine way anymore. I can jump really high tho

You can keep the flexibility and strength in your legs if you sub in some yoga or something similar from time to time.

Sure, but it seems to be very difficult to maintain that fine motor skills once one add some muscle.

There's a lot of tall skinny skaters, just depends on how tall you're asking them to be, if you're talking Figgy high it's not so much, really, but I guess there's a lot of them close to Drew's height.

Im asking a good question on an issue that most pro skaters are probably aware of.
Why you russled?
alpha gorillas don't wanna see you drag your knuckles trying to pop a maneuver
Im not trying to offend you, but have you never actually considered what body attributes help/hurt skating ability?
Its simple geometry man. Like do you actually look at luan oliveira and bam margera and scratch your head wondering why bam cant skate as well as luan?
Cut me Some fucking slack man.
Probably because Bam was skating more than a decade ago and stopped before he could do anything worthy. Are you really dumb enough to compare a high level skater from today to one that didn't even turn pro legitimately a long fucking time ago? What's next? Are you going to complain how Rodney Mullen can't kickflip a 10 stair?
Im comparing peak bam to peak luan.

I have always considered it more about weight related to hight. Of course the average pro I would think is shorter than average with narrow hips. There are some short pros who are heavy and strong like Jon Dixon and Jamie Foy. Those to are called fat alot in the media, but if you see them in person they are very naturally muscular. They are almost built like gymnists. The perfect gymnist is fairly heavy and very muscular. That is somehow the perfect weight and muscle ratio for throwing you body arround.
All the tall pro skaters, and there are very few of them, tend to be fairly long and skinny: Figgy, Reynolds, who else?
I guess exceptions to the rule would be Brian Anderson or maybe Arto (he was super skinny though, when he won soty) who at least when they got older seemed to get wider? Is Chriss Cole tall?
What would a super athlete skateboarder produced in a lab look like? I am shure the chinese are already working on that problem...
Tall for me is above average height. For western males that would be about 5 11". Andrew Reynolds would be about that hight. Most other pros are much shorter. I was almost always surprised of how short they were when I saw them in person. Even skaters you would think are of average height like Heath or Collin Provost turn out to be short fellas when you meet them in person.

Based on the stuff he skates, I would put Heath at like 6'2 is he really under 6 feet?

Really? I'd guess most of these thin looking guys were at least 6 foot. I didn't even think that was really above average.

An Extra long STiff Torso that goes into the long STiff neck & having a physically big Head helps
Chris Cole & Scotty Pazelt are perfect examples

wtf is this thread? firstly natural strength is not a thing if someone is strong it's because they spent more time lifting shit if you want to get strong pick up some shit its not predetermined dude. also why tf would you ever want narrow hips in skating?? there's another word for that, its knock knees. wider hips/stance equals more stability because of your lower center of gravity and it also gives you way better leg posture for jumping up on shit. you ever see box jumpers or other real athletes sticking their thighs together like fucking big bird before they pop. plus pretty much the only thing that determines wide/narrow leggedness on a skateboard is whether you align your shoulders forward or with your board. look at wade d vs brent atchley's style, its a shoulder thing your knees shouldn't be fuckin touchin if you're trying to work with your body's natural posture. just get stronger and your knees will drift apart and your "natural((wtf)) strength" levels will go up its not fuckin rocket science.

I honestly feel bad for you bc i dont think youre trolling.
Please dont ever take a math or science class, little boy. If you do it will be a genocide of your self esteem.

Im still surprised so many people were not aware of the trend of narrow hips
Helping skating ability alot.

I don’t think it matters how your built for skating. You got people like Neils Bennett and mark Suici looking like frail little boys and then you got big boys like Andrew Allen and Jamie foy and weightlifting bum biebel. All good at skating just different styles

Still. Why cant sheckler
Skate anywhere near as
Well as he could as a kid?
Look at the style difference between a narrow hip pro like kremer vs a wide hip skater like p rod or sheckler. What do you think is killing their skating besides wide adult hips
And leg stance?

Did anyone say a shiny silver rump and post that pic yet? You know the one I mean.

I think trend sounds right because why tf would narrow hips be an advantage in any way

The weight of your body makes shorter motions when you turn and shift and so is easier to control

I think the penis is the best indicator of a good skater. Right? Or is it the Fred Gall bladder?

The lower the dick and balls hang, the more stable. But there’s the risk of landing and having your package slam into your leg giving you a stomach ache.
Fred gall bladder comes into play only after a sixer or two, then you skate faster since you have to piss. Science!!!
