Lovely speed checks and manuals! That "dancing" and some backward looks were so much fun

I don't really have tricks per se, but I like to go wide and squat on the board especially while going down an incline. It's just to temporarily rest and reduce wind resistance. I also like to grab the rail on tight turns while the other arm is "feeling the wave".

Just ordered my first surf skate, super jealous of the trails you have there they look so long and smooth

One of my favorites is using stuff on the ground like painted dashed lines, gum, geese poop, and leaves/sticks/etc as an imaginary slalom course. It's fun to see just how tight of a turn you can make to miss the obstacle.

One of the best videos on your channel! Thank you David and Steve! 👍

Thanks for new inspiration! Nice video bro, nice ideas of how to enrich daily routine cruising however I would particulary avoid drop-ins with no protectors. How were your knees and hips after those first two failed attempts? (I felt ants on my back watching this)

You helped me big time with bowl carving - now this - my flat pumping has improved big time as well. I have my Arbor Rally with Paris V2 180mm trucks - quite wide for the board and am riding them fairly loose - they are stable don’t think I want to go down the carver trucks route, but do they make a significant difference?

Great video, I'll def be attempting some of these! How to you maintain so much speed on flats without having to push?

What about ollies fire the urban obstacles?

[agenttank]
