Title: Is there a medical reason for Jeff Deschares lack of pop
Post by: bobforapples on July 02, 2022, 01:05:37 AM
I'm generally curious I heard he has some sort of genetic disorder does he have no fast twitch muscle ?

What a hilarious question. Had to look him up. Seems like he was once too weak to flip his board on flat, so he started flipping stuff off drops/stairs for more time - but never grew out of it.

I had this mentality when I was 12 of 13, kickflipped off something before I could do it on flat because I was a weakling.

Yeah it's a rare genetic condition known as "97 pound weakling".... There is hope though.

Yeah, that's how his skating struck me too. For the ridiculously hard flip tricks he does and even the more simple ones, the way he executes them makes his lands look like flukes and not in a good way.

I'm not going to go back and watch his parts to check but I think he has the classic carpet board/trampoline board problem where they don't pop that tail and just hoof the shit out of the board and land on it again. Not a classic pop flick catch land

I actually watched a video where he explains his reasoning and you're not gonna believe how ridiculous it is:

He once accidentally stepped off the tail of his board and fell, so now he puts his foot as close to the bolts as possible.
I wouldn't have any pop either if I'd use his weird as fuck foot stance.

The source is this video, or part 2 or 3 of it. I really don't want to watch dan corrigan in order to confirm which one it is.

some of his earliest YouTube videos are of him skating an ankle high flat bar in his driveway, but he was doing some pretty crazy technical tricks on it. during his formative skateboarding years he had no reason to develop the technique to get onto or over anything with any legitimate height.

99% sure this is why he skates the way he does.

I get it to a degree, I avoided boardslides for nearly a year after credit-carding myself badly on one. However, there's almost always a chance of your back foot slipping off no matter what you're doing.

I’m guessing this might be an unpopular opinion around here but I like jeff, he definitely has a different (sometimes obscure) way of looking at things, I like the way he skates, it’s different than the norm but I think it’s pretty enjoyable to watch and it’s refreshing imo that he does things his own unique way….I talk to Jeff every now and then and he’s a good dude imo.. He’s just dosent have your standard skateboarder personality I guess,,but he’s always came off as a chill dude to me.

I don't buy the "stepped off my tail one time," explanation. That's asinine. You're clumsy one time so you decide to adopt terrible technique instead of getting over an irrational fear... Yes. Makes total sense.

"I primo'd one time so I never flipped my board again."

Post by: Sick_McCrank_ on July 03, 2022, 03:12:28 AM
Maybe it’s his own business how he wishes to execute his tricks and what tricks he wants to do. But now you’re hurt and get mad because someone you dislike does what he likes. Watching his skating is a choice. No one forces you to look at it.

Good luck living life on a planet with a lot of people. Many of which are not doing what you wish they would do and are morons.

But I feel you guys, life is hard and getting mad over it is easy.  ;D

Post by: 35mm on July 03, 2022, 03:35:53 AM
Watching his videos at 0.25x speed is an experience...

Almost all of his tricks look like some pressure variation because he doesn't flick at all. Most of the time he just kicks his foot straight downwards or out of the way. Leaving his nose totally untouched. It's either that or the foot leaves contact with the deck only to kick it down a little bit later. That's why he doesn't have pop and a lot of his tricks look rocketed.

His legs end up being super close together during tricks. As of a medical reason, I don't think there is any. But if I had to say, maybe he can't spread his legs to far apart.

Edit: Or maybe he has shit ankle flexibility.

As an example, two kickflips down a gap at his highest points, one by Jeff the other by Kader.

Ok I watched it from the timestamp onwards. And it’s so weird how the interviewer is pretty arrogant and borderline mobbing deschare (i thought jd is going to cry at some point), but at the same time he is totally on point in what he is saying, he totally identifies the problems and his tips are actually spot on and literally helpful. Like its not some bullshit sideline coaching, it’s instant visible improvements.
I am confused about what opinion i should have about him.

I appreciate that he basically said “if I grew up in California around other skaters I’d just be a normal dude doing the same tricks as everyone else but with shitty style, at least I’m weird dude doing unique tricks with shitty style”.

My biggest complaint is the name “Jeffwon Song”. It’s like, yo Daewon is still pro and still fucking rips, and you skate nothing like him. I get his friends gave him that name but if it were me I would definitely request people don’t call me that.
