[feasterbailey2]

discovery park rocks a skim there all the time

[bballer112293]

how do u do an ollie on a skimboard??

[shox5555]

same way u ollie on a skateboard pretty much.

[NBrasch28]

no a lot harideir because there is no grip on a skimboard

[shox5555]

there is a grip. U cant see it tho but it is more slippery and stuff so it might be a little bit harder but thats y u wax the board so it has grip.

Some skimboards have visible grips on the back.

[shanoinsano13]

dude you sacramento guys kill it at flat land. i met you at the virgin classic for a bit. the rain made a sick new waterfall droppable too bad we didnt find out till later, you guys wouldve torn it up. check out my vids to see shot of it

[coolieokid12]

ok.. i just started skimmin today.... so how do you jump is it basickly an ollie on a skateboard but on a skimboard?????

[papasso93]

your rediculious

[iamjackson4life]

where r u skimming at

[SkimLouie]

discovery park , sac cali

[hskerfan25]

wat board r u riding

[iamjackson4life]

wat is your board made out of and how do you ollie do you have to be in deeper water

[SkimLouie]

umm roush creates it and im not exactly sure about all the work that goes into it i just know it rides with soooo much control and pop. you need deep enough water...ankle high should be the shallowest you should try it in tho

[Greenwave2010]

as u can see from my vids i cant do the shuv its

[salezaraus]

thats pretty cool dude... i was wondering where you bought your skimboard from?

[SkimLouie]

well i ride for roush so he hooks it up

[ChadSkateIn]

Yo louie i mainly deep skim but if i wanted to get into flat skim like you what setup do you recommend?

[SkimLouie]

roush carbon flex is by far my favorite.

[Greenwave2010]

You are my idol, i wanna be able to do the shuvs

[fimpgunnaralle]

Nice skim rail.

[exilim323]

this is sick, you should do some ocean skim

[slucas321]

hey man i was curious about how you ollie so high..i can only get about eight inches or so how do you get so much air?

[SkimLouie]

dude 8 inches is koo n you obviously got the technique down. just go faster and harder and jump higher haha.

[ALTERNATEEXIT]

sick vid, are you coming to utah for the competition in july?

[SkimLouie]

yup. just waiting for a date

[ALTERNATEEXIT]

sweet i'm pretty sure its the 12th

[polominolo]

Wow, you're huge!

[SkimLouie]

nehh... 5'9''

[Shedoy]

DAYM ok one day i will learn these tricks.

[skimboardude]

dood! nice

where you skimming in the video?

[SkimLouie]

sacramento. discovery park

[skimmordie22]

man your amazing at skimmin, how long you've been at it for? im trying 360 shuv-its; im making the spin but not sticking the landings any tips? later dude keep up the good work

[SkimLouie]

uhh this is my 5th season. ummm iunno i started landing the 3 shuvs more consistantly when i just got more hangtime in the jump. iunno its all just practice

[ZangSkimInc]

Awesome vid, man. this spot looks sick. where's it at?

[SkimLouie]

discovery park off of richards

[alldaysk8r]

excellent!

[SKIM3R]

hey r u using the twin tip roush?

[SkimLouie]

roush made me a custom

[JRS716]

this is sick!!! i love skimming but my board's tail chipped over a rock in hawaii so i need to get a new one for summer.. any recommendations?

[Godfathertakeover]

nice work dude!!

[vvitsianvv]

dude....when u said do you need a new board...? did u mean u are giving them away..cus hell im getting a new one soon i have 250 dollars ready but if u wanna give me one.....ooooooook

[skaterkid2153]

i lost my board in the ocean ='(

[SkimLouie]

lol yea..we lost 2 boards within seconds of eachother last year. i was like ahh crap i lost mine..then my friend started walking over to help and then bam...lost his. you need a new board?

[SurfHiggins13]

Nice

[TTJ669]

is easier to oliie in shallow water or deep water

[SkimLouie]

ummm like..water level up around your ankles is good. if you go deep to ollie you just need more speed. so yea water lvl just above your ankles.

[09cody09]

thnx for the advise...btw i am usualy ollieing in about 2 inch water

[09cody09]

i can barely ollie a water bottle and i have a traction pad.. how do you do it

[SkimLouie]

uhh well traction pads are a personal preference with grip type but there really isnt a trick to getting it down besides practice over and over haha. just get enough speed and any where between 4 -8 inches is a good amount of water. weight in back and its kind of like a delayed skateboard ollie and you dont really move your front foot up as much

[chinomehn]

but how come when i go to anything more than 3 inches of water,i sink? haha.could it be my board? i just made one myself.or maybe i really just need to practice.haha

[09cody09]

best in the world.. i think im in love

[SkimLouie]

not even close. "nothing is cool" first sac skim video

[chinomehn]

do you use foam or woodies?

[SkimLouie]

woodies. tricks just slap cleaner and feels crispy

[ys1992]

What kind of skimboard do you have? and where can I get one? cuzzz I got this really old wood one and its time to get a new one =)

[sdsureborn]

u got a lot of good tricks in there. i wish i could skim that good. i'll stick to the ocean shores.

[SkimLouie]

yea ocean and flatland r completely different

[rsmitty036]

that was sick. but i didnt know the water at discovery park was so dirty haha. but whats your opinion on jgordons?

[SkimLouie]

ahhh yea ...discovery is kinda gross.. the best skim is in those little puddles but its..brown haha when the water goes down we skim in the water thats actually clear. jus depends on what line is where. jgordans are good entry level boards..i beat the crap out of mine for a couple years..after a while i noticed i felt limited to what the board allows so i got roush and its..its jus crazy haha pop higher..slaps down and so much more control because of little design differences

[bwick21]

yeah that is probably the second worst thing about discovery. the limited lines and the dumb ass people that stand in the middle of your run haha. but yeah i was thinking about getting a jgordon for this summer, thanks for the info about it

[SkimLouie]

haha yea..those stupid ass people. and the retarded kids..we have a rail out there..using it for like a hour straight then they all sit on it. i yelled at this fat bitch because she sat on it haha. hella dumb..but thats y they get hit..on accident

[rsmitty036]

yeah that is probably the second worst thing about discovery. the limited lines and the dumb ass people that stand in the middle of your run haha. but yeah i was thinking about getting a jgordon for this summer, thanks for the info about it

[chinomehn]

damn crazy moves man! where did you learn to do this? do you skate as well? keep rockin!

[SkimLouie]

naw i cant skate for shit. i can do basic stuff but nothing worth filming.

[chinomehn]

woah.i've seen flatland riders here in the philippines,but nothing like that! there should be an xgames or something for this already.anyways,keep your vids coming! haha

[in2octane]

Mad props....

goddamn...

[MoccasinBloke]

tight no comply tre

[taylorskim]

nice video, looks like a lot fun, different from what I'm use too.

[301turtles]

wow your really good

[Backspacebrad]

and another question..

where i ride on Lake Huron (canada)

theres about 2and a half inches of water..

would that be enough water to get a good pop?

i can get a bit but not alot tho

i ride a ZAP! :]

where can you get roush boards?

[SkimLouie]

ahhh man..dude zap boards..good look haha that was my very first board i ever tried riding..u need to get rid of that thing haha. if your serious about getting a roush message me on myspace or something. they have boards up on their website but there are new boards comming out that i would honestly think would be better. 2 1/2 inches is good enough for some pop. u mite hav to scoop the board up more rather than a push down..just different techniques.

[Backspacebrad]

yea i jus added you on myspace..

wuts the average price for the roush boards?

[Backspacebrad]

sick vid man..

wuts the song called?

[SkimLouie]

its take it to the house by trick daddy

[skimmer4life520]

where can you get roush boards.and where are u skiming at

[apachefrosh]

dude u r sick!! how the hell do u do that stuff?! how do u ollie so damn high?!

[bennahmani]

also... wut skim board is that?

[SkimLouie]

its all roush creations. by far..the best board ive ever rode..skimd gordan, nemo, tried vics, zaps..roush boards let u do some crazy shit

[bennahmani]

Patrickbanahan14

i agree... i never seen anyone do that on a skim board... sick...

[WalstromT]

dude youre sick... ive only ever skim boarded in the ocean... how do you do it in that kind of water cause it looks too deep?

[SkimLouie]

naw well most of the time we skim in the parts of the river thats like..4 inches of water leading to 10 ish depending on the day but its enough water to get a lot of pop but still shallow enough to keep up speed plus these roush boards r jus sick and fly accross the water

[Patrickbanahan14]

yea but how do u even get air lol tahts what i dont get i just do like flat land shuvs

[SkimLouie]

haha uhh just put pressure on ur bak leg and u need around..4 inches or more of water to pop. do your shuv it but kick down at the same time. pretty much jus keep practicin to get pop with any move

[Patrickbanahan14]

i skimboard its fun but i never knew people could do this shit lol. how do u even ollie

[SkimLouie]

haha yea. jus keep trying new things whenever you go out.

[tylerbigt97]
