Having more balls on vert?
« on: February 14, 2019, 09:47:12 AM »
Been trying to get into skating bigger transitions lately, I have a pretty good grasp of how to skate an average bowl (4-6 foot range) and a decent bag of tricks. But lately I've been trying to skate stuff with more vert (8-10 ft pools). I can carve and kickturn and drop in but when it comes to trying tricks I'm a fucking chicken ass little bitch. What advice yall got for me to stop being a pussy? My homie saiid I need to learn to fall in to the vert when I bail and I'll slide down the transition "unhurt". That makes sense, but yeah drop some knowledge motherfuckers

When you bail just drop dead and slide down, only roll if you're hanging up and is about to fall all the way down.

I can only carve Fs, Bs is really uncomfortable to me. Then again I suck at tranny but most of my favorites are vert skaters

Pad up, learn to bail.

I never did this and I suck at bigger stuff.

The dirty little secret of every single padless ripper is that they were a fully padded vert grom as a kid.
