 I haven't done a board setup video in a long time, so I got a new board. It's a hockey, John Fitzgerald pro model. It's eight and a half. I wanted to go with a wider board because I got the A38 last time and I'm not really flipping my board anyway, so. I'd rather have the stability of a wider board. So that's what we're doing right now. Got a fresh razor blade, so I don't ruin the grip tape. Gonna set this up and hopefully get a couple clips at the park. But yeah, let's set this board up. I always love the smell of the new deck, which is weird. I got this board from Overcast Skate Shop in Temecula. So if you have a down that way, go and check them out. Support the local skate shop. I just got this haircut too. It was eight bucks, opposed to spending like 50. So this was done in like 15 minutes and it's not too bad if I must say. I hate this. I kind of roll up the grip tape so I can transport it easily and then it creases like that and looks more ugly. It's not a good start. So hope I can still do this. Fresh razor, freshy. Let's make it easier for myself. I only have to cut one side of the board, see? I'm in the grip. I only have to cut one side of the grip. So I'm gonna put it on this half. Drop the razor. I hate this. It looks like my grip is dirty already. I haven't even skated the board yet. I think it's this one. The one that has the air for me. Just met up with Dan in Long Beach right now. Apparently I've never known this park existed, but it looks like the most perfect skate park you could ask for in Southern California. It literally has everything you need apart from a quarter pipe. Never in my whole life did I know that a park this perfect existed. And the flat ground's really good too. It's darn near the perfect skate park. My only qualm with it is I wish it was a little wider. Like if this went out to the sidewalk, it really gets like one person can go at a time. It'll be a little wider. You could skate both sides of the ledge. Yeah, it is true. I think some people were like, oh, well then I'd want a quarter pipe on each side. This sort of forces you to not hog the skate park. Yeah. Like it's not wide enough to turn around right quick. So I do like that about it. Let's see some tricks, dude. Hi, Mom. Hi, Dad. Stay and watch this. My mom watches the videos. Does she? Yeah. You okay? He literally did that first try earlier. Now that he slammed on that, he can slam on this. He also did that first try. Dead stop, but. You gotta shove it 50. What do you mean? You do a shove it into a 50. Back, uh, front, backside? Let's do both. Hell. Well, first you do a backside. I can't shove it. Yes you can. Watch my shove it. That was a good shove it. That would have gone right into 50-50. This is my body weight. Yeah, that's perfect. So secret to shove it's 50-50s, aim for nose grind for the first second. Really? Yeah, don't aim for both trucks. Think your front should be first. Yeah. Oh yeah. Try front side, or backside I mean. So front shove, back grind. Yeah, the secret to that one is to baby the shove. Like don't think so much about popping high and getting into it. Just front shove towards the ledge, you'll get high enough. Front shove back nose blunt. Keep scaring myself away from the. Yeah, that was it. I keep missing. If you front shove back nose blunt, you win. I'm too, I'm jumping too far this way. Yeah. So Dan, he's found the secret. He did it second tee. I did it. Okay, here's what happened. And he's like, he's like, fuck off. I front shoved at the ledge, missed the coping and then like shuffled into a 50-50. I was like, suck and try, fuck off. Fuck off. I didn't even do the trick yet. That was a trick. I'm five tries deep. I haven't done it yet. But he, he just. The secret is I don't pop. He doesn't pop. I miss pop. But he has more control over the pop than I did. No, I know that, he's had more commitment. You reckon? Yeah, cause your front shoves. I'm wide putting it. They spin flat, they're like control. Mine are like quick and don't pop. So, my lack there of is what I can do on my thing. See? Maybe I'll just go to back spin. He just scoops it. He doesn't have to pop and it's so controlled and easy. I'm making it harder for myself. I haven't even done one yet. Yeah. Closer than I am now. I think. Okay, I'm gonna try to pop. You did. Yeah. See, when you pop it, it overshoots you. The anti-Oli man. He doesn't like to Oli this guy. I slap you into my front shoves. Kind of weirding me out now that I think about it. Cause I understand mis-popping a flip trick and it working. Yeah. Because you have this motion. This and then this pushing down. And it goes, yeah. This, it makes me, what am I like, oiling and then this foot sliding down and then back. How am I doing this? I think you're just in the pocket and you just kind of. But what's making it go in the air? I'm so, it's like wet now. Your front foot, I think. It's like dripping. So it seems like Dan's probably gonna get, oh my God, look at my eight dollar haircut, dude. I kind of chopped away at it with scissors and it kind of made it worse. I think Dan's gonna get the trick before I do, unfortunately. Unfortunately. That's God's will. It is God's will that I reign supreme. What part of a hundred thousand subscribers don't you want it? You know, he has an advantage cause he's shorter. He has, he has a sense of balance, dude. I have an advantage cause I don't use excuses like height. I just go out there and I get them flips, dog. Dan's right battling my phone. Yeah, we should probably double check his theory of relativity. Cause if he's wrong about one thing. You're gonna do a switch. I didn't change any, I didn't change my angle. I didn't change where I tried cause one of them worked because the moron, he's dumb as hell. He probably equals MC Hammer. Like he doesn't know what's going on. Oh yeah. That was like the right idea though. It looked like you were going for the 50. It was just that pop was wrong. Is this even skating? I feel like this isn't even skating. It's not, not skating. I think we all have these battles where it feels like it's just not getting any easier. But why was it so easy at Lincoln that day? I had a, I had a skinny abort. I think I had a 338. I honestly think it was just your mindset. You're probably just trying all the tries. These you're not. You're like pussy footing around a lot. Just like I said, go out there and get that slam. Just go get the slam and then you'll land it or slam. Damn it. Dude, I've done like three of those. Rat Cowboy. He's pretty sick.
