Air braking while standing up | it worked 36-30 mph/57.6-48 kmh | Rocket Phoenix board

Your doing great dude!! Huge progress. No matter how good you get, the traffic will always cut you off so just get comfortable expecting them to do it. I'm always down to teach new longboarders so if you ever come up to the NorCal Sierra Nevada mountains you can hit me up and I'll show you some good freeride and downhill

Ești de lauda. Bravo. Tot așa înainte!

Nice! Looking relaxed and calm around traffic. Keep in mind that ppl in vehicles usually have no idea what we're doing, so if possible, it's definitely safer to shut down at every risky encounter (such as the pickup truck at 1:16). We train to stay calm and relaxed so that we can shutdown calmly. With more calmness and relaxation during skating, it may lead to some hairy situations, but always try to go behind a vehicle if possible. Cutting in front of a vehicle is quite risky imo. Also, one more safety tip is to try to shutdown near the curb - not near the middle like you did at 1:35. How to shutdown near the curb? All you gotta do is initiate your shutdown while looking at the curb or, at the very least, looking downhill. If you look at 1:35, your initiation was sort of looking downhill, which should work in a straight. But since this is a right turn, you actually ended up in the middle after the slide. One goal you could accomplish next is to practice shutdown accuracy. Instead of marking where to slide, mark where you want to stop and try to repeat that until you're more and more precise. Good luck as usual! Enjoy!

You can start looking into a more streamlined tuck stance now

might I suggest perfecting the heel shutdown before going to the open road? no hate here i'd just like to have you not almost triple pendy into a car.

You should practice on your shut down slides toeside/heelside before hitting bigger hills with plenty of traffic

Your a danger to others and yourself. Get comfortable riding a skateboard first.
