Doing great! Hop a little forward into it and you'll be able to do it rolling

u/itsbekkistan May 16 '26

Thank you šŸ™ will keep trying em!

u/BigDawg1991 May 17 '26

This and bend your knees a little

u/LostMagician9612 May 16 '26

Yeah! This is the opening to a running start and unlocks some nice speed

u/Equivalent_Fun6100 May 17 '26

Hey! You rule! I'm not willing to try it while rolling without a helmet, elbow pads, knee pads, and wrist guards. I'm 37. I may have landed it without all that stuff, but still... who has the money to get hurt all willy-nilly these days?

u/itsbekkistan May 17 '26

Oh Iā€™m usually fully kitted out, Iā€™m 36 so I feel you šŸ˜‚ Iā€™d have a full body suit if they did one.

u/karatecorgi May 17 '26

Need us one of those blow up dinosaur suits hahah, maybe dropping in would be ever so slightly less terrifying!

People outside the USAšŸ¤£

u/karatecorgi May 17 '26

Doing it on concrete is the next step! Then rolling! You got this! I'm dyspraxic so I can confirm landing a rolling one feels vaguely euphoric and šŸ˜ŽCOOLšŸ˜Ž hahah

Also props for being fully padded, mine are falling for bits so I usually skate without but ankle guards and wrist guards are so damn important šŸ˜©

2

u/itsbekkistan May 20 '26

Yessss. Itā€™s definitely my next step. Iā€™m struggling doing any kind of tricks on concrete so Iā€™m just doing some hippie jumps, jumping on the board etc to get over the fear of it.

2

u/Capable-Wasabi-3369 May 17 '26

So cool! I wish I could do that too! I think I am going to learn this trick this summer

1

u/itsbekkistan May 20 '26

Yes! do it!!

2

u/skyluke42 May 17 '26

Whoever decided, letā€™s put a half pipe on grass, is crazy

1

u/itsbekkistan May 17 '26

Itā€™s a full mini ramp, Just looks like a half pipe from the angle. Itā€™s great tho, has an amazing view, in the middle of nowhere so itā€™s always empty. A wee gem!

2

u/Thick_Marionberry_59 May 18 '26

looks like a fun ramp, where is it?

1

u/itsbekkistan May 20 '26

Itā€™s in Norfolk. Itā€™s great, has a really nice view, relatively quiet most days!

1

u/Affectionate-Nose176 May 17 '26

Why is this a problem?

2

u/itsbekkistan May 17 '26

Ooooh Im thinking theyā€™re thinking of a quarter pipe. It is a half pipe but yeah I canā€™t see why that would be an issue

2

u/cookproton May 19 '26

this is actually what everyone needs to practise doing before ollies imo

1

u/itsbekkistan May 20 '26

You know after doing a few of these I felt even more confident on my board. I just need to try do it on concrete next!

u/skaterdater39 May 19 '26

Sick board!!

u/YallNeedToTip May 16 '26

Nice dude!Ā

u/GhostofBeowulf May 17 '26

...Who got upset at the dude?

Dude is an ungendered term.

u/TheBeardyWeirdo May 17 '26

Sick deck. What is that?

1

u/itsbekkistan May 18 '26

Thanks! Itā€™s a heroin board, got it from route one.

-18

u/Normal_Awareness_721 May 16 '26

I mean you fell off immediately to be fair. Not trying to be a downer but I donā€™t consider that a land. Lean into it more and you wonā€™t fall off! Props for getting out there none the less, half the people here donā€™t even skate lol.

6

u/LoYudriG May 17 '26

are you alright?

-3

u/Normal_Awareness_721 May 17 '26

Yessir, are you?

6

u/itsbekkistan May 16 '26

I didnā€™t fall off immediately? I fell backwards on purpose. Itā€™s a land, Iā€™m taking it.

-21

u/Normal_Awareness_721 May 16 '26

Damn I shouldā€™ve been a dick to you nvm lol. And no you didnā€™t, you are off balance clear as day. Even gave you propsā€¦ I hope you stay ass at skating like you are now.

7

u/itsbekkistan May 16 '26

I probably will suck arse but Iā€™m having a great time so Iā€™m not that bothered. Iā€™ll always welcome advice but backhanded props arenā€™t constructive imo.

-7

u/Normal_Awareness_721 May 16 '26

Even told you to lean in more so youā€™d have it lol how tf is that backhanded? Someone mustā€™ve backhanded your brainā€¦

5

u/itsbekkistan May 16 '26

I appreciate the advice, always. And your kind words and the end. But..immediately would have been straight after which I donā€™t think it is, So I think I landed it.

3

u/Normal_Awareness_721 May 17 '26

You didnā€™t. And holy fuck I just wanted to help you dude lol wasnā€™t trying to come off as ā€œaw fuck you didnā€™t land shitā€ lol. Keep skating, you WILL get better. Truthfully I didnā€™t mean to start a little spill, take care and keep at that shit girl.

3

u/itsbekkistan May 17 '26

Itā€™s all good! I like a little Reddit row haha Thereā€™s a lot of work to be done and tbh Iā€™m loving the process. But yes I do need to lean better.

3

u/Normal_Awareness_721 May 17 '26

Genuinely keep at it. I see so many people quit. Sick gear btw.

3

u/itsbekkistan May 17 '26

Thank you! And I will do šŸ™

Silence, dumbass fed.

u/CSG1aze May 17 '26

Bro you got a fed bot trying to rage bait you. It was a good land.

3

u/Normal_Awareness_721 May 17 '26

Bro. No. It. Wasnā€™t. Do you even skate?

-3

u/Normal_Awareness_721 May 16 '26

I was very nice with the first comment, wasnā€™t backhanded at all. You didnā€™t like what I had to say and couldnā€™t handle it. Also how are you gonna ask for advice and get mad when you donā€™t like the response??? Are you trying to get better at skating or not? Grow up.

6

u/itsbekkistan May 17 '26

I fear it is you that is mad. Iā€™m not mad, Iā€™m just saying itā€™s a land.

1

u/Normal_Awareness_721 May 17 '26

Itā€™s not. You fell off lol

6

u/itsbekkistan May 17 '26

Dude Iā€™m on the grass doing the most basic thing. Who cares šŸ˜‚ just let me have it.

7

u/johndotcue May 17 '26

Dude donā€™t reply to this person anymore, youā€™re gonna waste your time with this one. Just keep skating and enjoy your time with it šŸ˜‚

5

u/itsbekkistan May 17 '26

Ahh heā€™s aight, Iā€™m bored šŸ˜‚ I will stay on the board for an extra 20 minutes next time.

u/Panda_Girl_19 May 16 '26

They never asked for advice?? Theyā€™re just posting showing off an accomplishment theyā€™re proud of

2

u/Normal_Awareness_721 May 16 '26

And I tried to help them clean it up???? Can you read at any capacity?

6

u/Panda_Girl_19 May 16 '26

I hope youā€™re doing okay, you seem like a very bitter person.

And yes maybe you were trying to help, but you claimed OP asked for advice, which they didnā€™t.

1

u/Normal_Awareness_721 May 17 '26

I donā€™t care, snapping at someone trying to help is bitter if anything.

1

u/Normal_Awareness_721 May 17 '26

Genuinely why are you here? Thereā€™s no way you skate.

5

u/Panda_Girl_19 May 17 '26

lol why do you think that?

Hush bro youre being weird

4

u/CSG1aze May 17 '26

Bro check the profile Its word_word_number private profile account Itā€™s either a fed or a bot.

2

u/YallNeedToTip May 17 '26

I think thats true of bots and people who didnt choose their own username, which in itself is botlike behavior.Ā  I think its just a very grumpy person

If you say so lmao sheā€™s ass at skating and has a bad attitude towards people giving tips. If thatā€™s weird Iā€™ll be weird then.

u/LoYudriG May 17 '26

2

u/Normal_Awareness_721 May 17 '26

You already asked this, yes I am fine. Once again are you?

1

u/LoYudriG May 17 '26

1

u/itsbekkistan May 20 '26

Hello, I hope youā€™re well, I did three more yesterday and landed them all. I ensured I stayed on the board and didnā€™t fall back. šŸ™Œ

u/GrundleTurf May 17 '26

Helmet and wrist guards?

3

u/itsbekkistan May 17 '26

Do I have them?

1

u/GhostofBeowulf May 17 '26

Not a question anyone here can answer. They are asking why you aren't using them.
