About a year or 2 ago I used to fuck around and do tricks like Antwuan off this small loading dock for shits and giggles then I started doing it so much it sorta stuck with me on certain tricks. It's really only with straight on heelflips going down something, but at this point thats just how I do em now, anything else feels like I'm doing too with my upper body in much mid-air & i lose control. Just line up your shoulders, hips, knees, & ankles then focus on just using your shoulders more for stability than your whole arms. I kinda did one right here
^ what's crazy about that clip was that i was actually having trouble with that spot and had to go back a second time to get it, and that was after a million tries so i wasn't even thinking about doing em a certain way, thats just how I landed the make. Some might say there's some Dylan-esque rideaway exaggeration there but that was more of a lean of relief lol
I don't really try to dress too much like anyone else tho. All my favorite skaters keep it simple with the typical jeans/tshirt look and I do the same unless its summer & feel like flexin in a tank top & shorts. If anything some of my summer fits are actually pretty original for skateboarding lol
