We're back with Anders trying his first indie
Today we have one objective and one objective only and that objective is to teach you guys five scooter tricks that you can learn in
One single day. Wait, does that make it five objectives?
Technically maybe now before we get moving I wanna let you guys know that these tricks are based off of like a beginner level
It's not an amateur level or a professional level
If you guys want me to do five amateur level tricks or five pro level tricks that you can learn in one day
Let me know in the comments below
Let me know if you want me to do amateur or pro or both, but let's get this started with trick number one
Okay
So we're gonna start it off pretty simple today with trick number one being a tire tap now for those of you that don't know
What a tire tap is it's a trick that came from the BMX world and basically where you're essentially doing
what would be a manual but staying still I'll either on the quarter pipe or on a bank or even
flat while we name off these five trick
So when I teach you guys exactly how to do them or at least give you guys some tips and tricks that you can use
To get all these done in one day and if you don't get them all done in one day, don't worry
There's always another day for those of you guys that are beginners
You're probably gonna want to learn this trick on either either flat ground like this or on a very small
Mellow Bank like this one
This is what I'm gonna demonstrate on first and I'm gonna set my camera right here and I'll get a few different angles
So you guys can see it in a bunch of different spots
There's a bunch of different tips and tricks
I can give you guys when it comes to doing a tire tap now as I said previously it's probably a good idea to start
Either on flat or on a slight bank
But if you've never tried the trick keep it on flat obviously definitely try it there first
What a tire tap is basically when you put your foot on top of your brake and you lean back a little bit
so your front wheel is in the air while your back wheel is
planted and you kind of give it a little bit of style points if you want to lean it back a little bit you make
It look really good the first step to doing a successful tire tap on a spank quarter pipe or anything like that
Starting on the ground is to roll at a slow pace
Step on your brake and pick your front wheel up
Do this five or six times in a row and then once you've got it down
maybe start to try to stall it and hold that front wheel up in the air for as long as you can once you've gotten
That practice down you can go forward step on your brake
Lean back and maybe try to spin a little bit on your back wheel
There's so many different ways that you guys can figure out how to stay on your back wheel
But once you've got your balance point proper if you're good to go now
It's time to take it on to a bank when you're starting to do a tire tap on a bank
You're trying to basically baby your way up to doing there's no reason for you to go up and try to do a fufanu
Which is where you do a tire tap on the very very tip tip top you have a lot more risk of looping out hurting
Your butt your back, whatever the case may be don't start like that start small start at the bottom of the bank
This Bank is about a foot tall and it's pretty much flat for anyone that's trying to learn this trick
This is the perfect Bank to do it on now
You're gonna do the same exact thing that you did on the flat ground on this Bank
You're gonna go at a slow speed step on your brakes
Lean back a little tiny bit and it's jump into a tire tap position
once you're in that position
Try to hold it as best as you can without looping out
You do not want to lean too far back to where you fall backwards and land it
Like I said on your back on your butt because let me tell you something. I know from firsthand experience
It's not a good time work your way up and slowly or quickly as you want
once you've gotten all the way to the top and you're able to jump up do a tire tap and spin the last 180 you're
Good to go spinning that last little bit out of the tire tap can be difficult
But that's what you guys are to be practicing that tire tap spin
Motion that I showed you earlier once we got it down on flap
Once you've got it down in the bank, you can take it the bigger banks
You can do tricks into it. You can do tricks out of it. You can go on to bigger quarter pipes, whatever you want
It's a great trick to learn and you don't see that many people do it very often
So tire taps check next trick next trick on the list is a feeble now
This has to go with either a feeble stall or a feeble grind which everyone you want to learn
You could most likely learn it in one day
Here are some tips the best place to learn a feeble stall or grind is on the smallest ledger
You can possibly find
Now this is not the smallest ledger we have here in the skate park
The smallest ledge we have here in the skate park is not actually alleged at all technically
This is the smallest legend skate park but it is at the bottom of the stairs
If this is all you have then yeah go for it. Learn it on something like this
But if you have a small curb
that's literally just a curb which pretty much everybody in America and
Everywhere else in the world has a kerb around them somewhere. I would recommend learning it on that
it's a little bit safer because you'll have to worry about going forward and
Hitting your anything on the stairs hitting your mouth hitting your hands hitting your elbow a little bit easier
So that's what we're doing on the ledge over here step one. You gotta learn to bunnyhops the height of whatever
Obstacle you're trying to do the people on so in this case
It's this ledge which is right about
eight inches tall and that's what I'm going to be doing my people on now a lot of people tend to get
Frustrated with fievel's because they don't necessarily
Understand what the trick is a feeble stall is basically like what you know
When you jump onto a curb you jump straight and you just stop because your back wheel stops you that's almost it all you have
To do is turn 45 more degrees or more as long as you're not passing 90 degrees
So your front wheel stays on the ledge and then jump off
So many different tips for this trick one of which is if you're a little bit nervous to jump onto the ledge
Don't worry
You don't have to jump onto it first try you can use your foot once you've gotten enough
Confidence to attempt to jump fully up on top of the curb or ledge
Just jump straight do exactly what I was saying earlier
And if you're already past that point good for you
a lot of people tend to be afraid to jump off of the
Or curb because they're worried that their back wheel is going to clip on the curb when jumping in if that's the case
Don't be afraid to jump out way more than you have to at first you can fine. Tune it later
All you want to do is make sure you get off of that curb safely another way to do
This is getting into the initial stall normally and then taking your foot off and pushing yourself off
That's not that bad. If you guys are learning you're learning. That's exactly what this is all about
Don't be afraid to try different things to learn the trick properly one thing
I know a lot of people tend to do when learning people stalls is puts their heels down
Don't be afraid to put your heels down
Yes later on the people that think they're super super Street heads might say something to you
But if you're learning, it's not that big of a deal
Learn put your heels down to support you
So you don't fall off of the stall once you're confident enough to jump onto the ledge and spin a little bit another tip that
You can use to get on to the stall properly is turning a little tiny bit
before you jump on to the curb or ledge that helps a lot when it comes to not getting on the ledge totally straight once
you've gotten all that stuff down getting into the grind is
Actually a little bit easier because you can go out the ledge at an angle jump
Essentially straight onto the ledge at all. You want to do the main secret to feeble grinds and sliding properly is keeping your front wheel
Parallel to the curb. So if that curve starts to turn your wheel has to turn
Otherwise your scooter will not follow the pattern of the ledge
That's a feeble that's enough tips and tricks for you guys to learn that trick in one day trick number three
Trick number three is a real 180. Now. What do I mean?
What's a real 180 a real 180 is a real up and turn around come back down?
Not not this this is not a 180 when you go on a quarter pipe
And you turn from one side of the entire quarter five all the way to the other. It's not a real 180
You're just turning first things first. I will demonstrate not a real 180
See that not real the best way to learn this is exactly probably what a lot of you guys are thinking baby step bet
That's a secret to a lot of tricks and scootering is just baby stepping your way up to it
so you're gonna have to start by just
turning around that's a lot of kids start out doing is turning from one side of the court of five using the entire width of
The quarter pipe and no jumping whatsoever. And that is fine
As long as we're learning
But you do have to step it up soon after you learn him to do that by just doing a small
Bunnyhop in the middle doesn't have to be massive just pick your wheels up. It doesn't have to be anything crazy
That's step one into learning a real 180
The scariest thing about this trick is going to rekt at the quarter pipe because people think that they're gonna go up
loop out and land on their back which
Sometimes happens. I'm not gonna lie. Just go more direct at the quarter at a time
So if we're starting super super wide like this like a rainbow
Make that rainbow a little bit sharper and then a little bit sharper then a little bit sharper
And then eventually you'll be able to go straight up and straight down. I will demonstrate
Okay now like I said
I'm going to tighten up that curve a little bit
So I'm gonna make it a little more straight up not fully straight, but just a little bit
Again another trick you can learn in one day a lot of you guys left you learn this a lot faster than one day maybe
Just a few minutes
All it takes is a little bit of confidence and just fully going for a full commitment on this trick
But we got going to trip number four
Before we continue with this video. I want to give a quick shout out to my sponsor and recruiters
shout out to them for always supply me with the best scooter parts as well as
Vital scooters Rettenmaier vital grips right now envy Union bars. I got my double clamp down. They're full and we set up and I absolutely
Love this thing a lot of you guys been asking why why I have this scribble on the side of my deck
I know. Okay. I know it's there it has I haven't missed it
but either way this decade it's absolutely killing it gotta wash that stuff off right there because it's looking pretty rank and I've had these
Lambo wheels for a cool minute now since you guys are looking for some really good 120 millimeter wheels these things absolutely
Demolish the skatepark, they're super fast or super strong and be headset everything on this thing is like amazing
I love it. But let's continue with trick number four, which is an Indy
So we're turning the heat up a little bit a lot of you guys might think in Indy
How can I learn this in one day?
It's actually not that bad as long as you're more flexible than I am because I'm not this trick
You're gonna have to learn how to do on a ramp most likely some some people have learned flat, which is amazing
I
Didn't learn flat I learned how to do this trick on this exact Bank right here that little homie just did a little jump on
And I recommend that that's where you guys aren't going to do Indies
Let's give you guys some tips and tricks when it comes to the Indy grab anders has volunteered to try and indy on this bank
He's never tried it before so let's do what happened
That's a Superman yes Anders, I'll show you I'll show you
So I'm gonna give a knows a way Tanner's have you ever done this trick before
Okay, I'm gonna give Andrews a few tips and tricks really quick
I'm going to tell them these tips and tricks before I tell them to you guys see if it helps Anders and as you ready
Knuckles, we'll be right back. We're back with Anders trying his first indie
And what happened that tip I told you you gotta keep practicing it okay, my man you got it
all right deal a lot of people suffer from
Well, one main issue and that main issue
Is reaching down far enough to grab
their deck the best thing that I could tell you guys when it comes to doing an indie is when you get up in the
air if you push your bars as far as you can
It'll make the back of your scooter actually come up making it easier for you to actually grab the back
You don't have to grab the very center. That's not a thing
You mean you can but you'll have to you grab the back your wheel
Anything you can even start by grabbing like the back of your shoe just to get the idea right if you do that
Baby, step your way up. Like I said all this is about baby stepping
You don't have to send the trick first try but if you do obviously it's sick
Right that is the fourth trick of five now see final trick we're gonna speed it up a little bit
We're gonna turn up the heat the last trick in the five screw tricks. You can learn in one day is a turndown
This is a tough one. This is a hard trick to learn in one single day
But a lot of people do shifties we're taking this trick to this five foot quarter pipe right behind me
Now why a turndown Raymond Wyatt turn ten
well
I wanted to show you guys to turn out because nobody frickin does them and I'm trying to keep them alive
By doing them and showing you guys how to do themselves
If you guys learn this trick and one, two, three four and five days a week
It doesn't matter how long it is to get to learn it
continue to do it because not that many people freaking do it pretty much everybody knows just you know,
Actually, I'm just gonna show you guys what the shifty is
We can all agree that we have done that trick before right
Oh god, I'm falling everybody in scootering is done a frigging shifty. Even if you've done it on accident. That's fine
But what do you do a turn down the shifty part the part of your deck the way that it goes out is in front
Of you, it goes towards my toes. So I'm pushing the deck like this. This is not what we're going
We're not going towards our heels here. It's not where we're going
The SCOOTER is going in front of us for a turndown
All a turndown is is a shifty plus and except that's literally it
Every over thinks this and think it's so complex. It's really not shifty X up. That's it
Okay, so let me show you guys right now. This is they turn down
So we're doing this shifty in front of us, correct? So we're pushing the scoot out plus an X up. That's it
This is a turndown right here. So push your scoot out turn your bars. That's it, and it's a hard trick to learn
It's weird. It's very very awkward. But another thing I can tell you is do not lean too far forward
It's all bad. If you lean too far forward because everything has to get all jumbled up
You lose your balance you fall is just this is not good. Just don't do it. Okay, trust me
You got to try to whip that scoot out as fast as you can like you don't you don't want to be taking your time?
To do this and also this this back leg if it is straight
It makes it a million times easier. If you actually bring it back afterwards. It's kind of like a three-part trick
It's a push then a turn and then bring it all back together at once so push turn all together
It's a confusing trick, but you can do it and you can do it in one day if you try hard enough
So let me demonstrate the turn down
Another thing I forgot to add in there some people like to do them with bows legs straight
Some people like to do them both legged like I do whatever is comfortable for you. That's fine. Both leg
It just means your you're rolling your front ankle. Just so you guys know that's how I'm gonna do it
I'll try straight legged, but it's real ugly. But let's take this one to the hip
That's it that's all five tricks that you guys can learn in one day these tricks are gonna be harder for some than others
So for example, I'm pretty good at turndowns, but he might not be so gonna turn down. It's correct
Correct. So it might be a little harder for some of you guys to learn and others but it is okay
You gotta stay determined. You gotta get it. You gotta get the goal. That's what you guys got to do
That's what it is all about
Work hard work hard for these tricks and then don't stop here work hard at all the other things that you do in your life
Whether it's on your scooter whether it is on your math assignment
whether it's on anything else that has to do with you working on being nicer to other people just
Do it do it work on it and it all everything takes practice
but
Hopefully these five tricks are easy for all of you guys to learn and I hope that you guys enjoyed this video and until next
Time I'm out of here. Later
