Great video, thanks. Do you surf too? Your style looks more surf than skate.

[LearnToSkateboard]

@rushreef - Thanks for the compliment. No, I have never tried surfing. But I think skaters who surf have much better style in their skateboarding. They just flow a lot better. So, I'm flattered that you thought I was a surfer!

Did you find skating with the vision to be easier or harder because I'm looking at a powell

[LearnToSkateboard]

@iamSplaz - I like pool boards a lot. The Vision deck is great. 16"+ wheelbases and 10" wide feels far more comfortable to me than the little 8.5" wide 15" wheelbase popsicle sticks. It's all a matter of preference though. Try different decks and ride whatever you are comfortable with.

when you carve... do your front wheels ever leave the bowl? is it completely achieved by trucks turning? thanks!

[LearnToSkateboard]

@glencowcow - Correct. Front trucks stay on the whole time. If your front trucks ever leave the cement, then you are technically doing a "kickturn" and not a true "carve". When you truly carve, it's all flow.

That initial wipe out was awesome. nice video dude.......I took about 7 years off from skating due to knee injuries from snowboarding....At 38 years I'm doin exactly what your doing in these videos. Retraining myself to skate and working on bowl riding. Having a blast too bro.. Good job on the lessons.

Ride till you die brothers.

soft or hard wheels for pools?

[SK8R13gamer]

try and air out at the deep end you have enough speed.....try maybe an indy grab out

lol smart, where ur pads over ur clothes :P

[MrDanielHawes]

@akaRHELIK918 You can ride anything on anything. Limitless. If you learn to do it on a regular street deck and hard wheels you be a master if you eventually get yourself a bigger board and some soft wheels. Don't let your equipment hold you back!

[SorryAboutMeFur]

@mcloughnog Soft. With hard wheels you'll slip and slide everywhere. Soft gives you a better grip.

[akaRHELIK918]

can you shred in a pool with just a regular deck? and do i also NEED soft wheels?

[akaRHELIK918]

ROB ZOMBIE! nice dude

You developed really good momentum which really shows the best results of those carves and one wheelie
