Excellent photography! How was that possible underneath the thick acid cloud of CO2?

Awesome! Great video, great skateboarder! What more can I say? Song goes with VID. It's more mellow than some but that's cool. A bit of variety is good. Creates more interest.

@skateboardtech: thanks for information on the bearing press. I did notice the press in the shop here is worn and wouldn't grip onto the bearings to lift them out- kept slipping off. So I think I know why you say they're crap. Well you have saved me money. I will use the axle. Keep skating.

That was funny. Got a laugh out of it.

Frontside kickturns (facing the coping) are much much more difficult than backside or forward turns. I have done those for years now but never got the frontside or backward turn under control. I am practicing these everyday until I get it.

Good VID, Luke, but would like more on the backward turns. I am learning to kickturn frontside to ramp, which is a backward turn. It's much harder than doing a turn backside to the wall, which is really a forward turn. Reason is because you have to lean backwards as the board reaches the highes...

I love this song as much today as when it came out in 1965. It was early school days but always a fan of Del Shannon and the string of hits he had here in Australia. I just wish he kept searching. Of course, Runaway was the one that started it all and a real favorite of mine also. I really liked...

Brilliant! An idle to many.

Hey hey hey! I just bought a pair of the Sheckler shoes at a warehouse, and the brown and black ones to boot. It would be awesome if their magic helps me skate better.

@1243dante: thanks for that extra detail on the Ollie. You included a lot of tips that Tony Hawk left out, being a short video. I'm working on ollies ATM and I need to get the slide happening, jumping with the board at the same time while keeping my back foot on the board. It's hard but I'll ke...

@dervinplanb:). I liked the VID and definitely respect the passion Ryan has for skateboarding. He's probably on tour ATM. He said Australia is his favorite place, which is where I'm from. That's awesome. I personally feel we need to be more positive here. Our skate parks are really small and a...

BarrowSkateboarding: That's ok. Thanks for that. I will make sure I visit the area when I come to the UK.

Great video:: thanx man for good coverage of the kickflip and what not to do. When I practice kick flips (still on ollies), I will definitely make sure the board doesn't go vertical. "bad, bad for you"

Yeah, like a previous comment: you need to bend your knees more when landing a stair set. Watch Ryan Sheckler land a set of stairs. He goes right down to crouch position when landing and keeps balance.

Awesome dude. I can see that these variables can be difficult to land if the timing is not extremely fine tuned. You would make a great instructor as you have good teaching style and illustrate the steps well. I can't do it yet but your VIDS are of great help. Thanks

Excellent video! I think I will use and old board if there's a chance of breaking it when doing an Ollie over objects.

When making tutorial videos, please leave the captions on the screen longer than 2 seconds. The more words in the instruction the longer it takes to read = leave on screen longer. Thanks!
