Pumping & Carving

[esnap]

Pumping is when you are pushing to gain speed, Carving is when you are trying to slow down or keep from going too fast down hill.

[Unconsciusmind]

What's the difference between carving and pumping?

[stringshredda]

I use to be able to do that until I took an arrow to the balls

[djphilmore]

ahaahaha its a skate board lolololololol

[TwoDayOldPudding]

How long did it take you to learn how to pump? You look like you've been doing it for years!

[MicrocubeStudios]

man thats fuckin hard

thumbs up

[TheKidsWantJustice]

yeah nice tricks

[xIIKayze]

[MrSammy201]

i cant figure out how to pump

[iraqillbombya]

U want to pump, try an original hybrid 35

[paulicious2309]

pretty dull really

[rolfo100]

Okay paulicious2309  let me see your technique!

[AWdude4]

how long is ur board?

[brodog96]

what sort, size of trucks are you using and what wheels?

[TheRogueStatus]

extreme wheelbite ahoy

[bullsit7]

does this work on a regular board

[daytontee]

regular board? like the one he's riding?

[bullsit7]

oh i see it look like a ripstick

[MowMan321]

Really? Are you blind? It has 4 wheels and is flat. It doesn't look anything like a ripstick.

[bullsit7]

oh it just look like it

[13juillet1994]

the heck there is no way to look like a ripstick!!

[bullsit7]

okay

[Goech]

"where does the kinetic energy come from?"

ever been on a swing?

[esnap]

Yes, bigger is better. also a lower durometer wheel is better for better grip and smoothness.

You'll need some risers for those 200 mms, so the wont pinch.

[radioEraMike]

@esnap u just lied

[7m28]

does the size of the wheels and trucks affect how good you can pump? I have 62mm on 150mm trucks. I plan on getting 200mm trucks w/ 76mm wheels. Will this improve or hurt my pump ability. Im upgrading my setup b/c on my board, its such a pain in the ass to pump and i heard that if i go bigger, it should be easier, is this true?

[vtshredz91]

not really...trucks are only part of the equation..

[coolcharliecool]

those look like carver c7 trucks. very fun trucks for flatland surfing.

[HyltonBrosLive]

nope its true. Tha awesome nature of the longboard. I'd really like to see a good tutorial on this though!!! your relaly good!

[SinaShahandeh]

Since he never touch the ground, I am wandering where the kinetic energy comes from? How it keep moving?

[Ingve1234]

The kinetic energy gomes from his moovement of his body. He is using glucose to make muscles moove. The muscles are mooving his feet and boody in a direction, and the board are just making that energy last long?

[wizwazzle29]

i think it works kinda like a ripstik

[amishninja2000]

when you enter a turn, you essentially add weight to the side you want to turn. during turns, you may notice that the board is actually bending down towards the ground, this is a boards flex. by manipulating the boards flex and properly shifting your weight, you can generate kinetic energy as pressure increases on the side of your wheels during turns, and with practice you can get this energy to "push" you out of turns. with practice you can skate for miles without touching the ground.

[Doefmat]

Carver C7 truck?

[VertPimpin]

you got some lose trucks dude

[Icicless]

it's like your on a banana board there

[zaftmesterio]

reminds me of those twisting thingy majingy with one wheel on the fron and back

[Icicless]

a ripstick

[hzsurfer]

a wave board???

[drummorfar]

is that a longboard?

[jojo11590]

if you really want to carve start to speed and go straight and then carve insted of going in circles i do it all the time and i skate thunders lows

[vapidzbarz]

so do i they are so sick

[BladeDoggW13]

Much respect! Your set up looks like a lot of fun :)

[dragonflyyuzuki]

sick pumping buddy!

[jrod10021]

sweet song, im a pretty huge who fan, and a huge fan of these trucks, i need them hardcore.

[moonermage60]

its called tick tacking

jeeze have none of you guys seen squid from rocket power do it???

ha ha

[paddyzak]

tick tacking is where you lift the board and move it to one side, touch the ground then go to the other side and touch down and keep doing that, he does'nt take the board off the ground apart from like the first two seconds lol.

[peguin233]

omfg i love rocket power ! that was my fav. show when i was little

[chailizard]

It's one thing to film this but why upload it?

[SplashySash]

nice video and everything but mate you are going on like you invented 'carving' and to be totally honest this is weak. find a hill.

[nickmusic12]

awesome song and video...thats a sweet set up you go going on there...dont listen to the haters...you have wicked style

[joesdmb]

i am enraged with jealously. that was awesome.

[esnap]

You are overlooking the fun of propelling yourself with fluid curves instead of tictacking.

[dong2phat4u]

@esnap I agree. Not to mention the great exercise. Really smooth technique BTW.

[2003Yamaha125]

what you do between 0:04 and 0:06 is called pivoting. It is the way that I skate. I have 3 vids on it so check them out. NO THEY ARE NOT ON MY ACCOUNT, they are on my dad's youtube, robvideo12. He taught me how to but none of the videos have him on it. Enjoy

[esnap]

Paul Potts is the name of my skate board! So kiss my ass!

[cmdrgabee]

Damn, I want those trucks! They look pretty fun for carving and pumping! Hey, what's your setup? Deck, wheels, trucks, risers? I have a shortboard and I'm thinking of slappin' a pair of seismics on it!

[esnap]

Yeah they are sweet! They are the 180 mm 45 degree seismics. I made my own raisers out of arcrylic.

The wheels are sector 9 78a 76 mm. the bearings are abec9.

The board is a cheap walmart board I just threw away the cheap trucks wheel and bearings.

let me know when you get'em
