Once I did a caveman to manual to 50-50 and then a 360 pogo. It was pretty gnarly.

Re: skateboarding

360 pogo? ive always loved free style tricks. rodney mullen got me into skating. i wanted to do all of thsoe pogos and truckstands and primo slides and stuff.

Re: skateboarding

Pogo is hard. You need strong trucks and I got a metal reinforced core its heavy, so I only use it more mild street tricks. If you want to know how to pogo, Its like jumping and pulling the board up at the same time so its synched. I got inspired by Ryan Scheckler, I like his style and hes pretty young.

Re: skateboarding

i love the skate shoes but i no longer skate. i was pretty awful at it, im too tall and my feet are just too big. my sense of balance sucks even standing upright.

Re: skateboarding

yeah, i use mid or low trucks, to me it seemes like it gives you more pop

Re: skateboarding

Yeah. Make sure if you try a pogo you dont stand on the wheels. I know from bad experience. Stand right in the middle of one truck.

Re: skateboarding

I got diagnosed with vertigo and can't skate any more. I'm better now but my balance is still wacky. I wasn't much into tricks. More of a means of transportation for me.

Re: skateboarding

^ Yeah. I picked up skateboarding over the summer because I've always wanted skateboard for transportation, and I can really get around. I can't do any tricks, nor have much desire to do so. I'd just like to jump over curbs and **** while skating around. My greatest accomplishment so far is being able to ride off curbs without smacking my face into the pavement.

Re: skateboarding

yeah, i stared off like that, you should learn to ollie. it helps a littel bit, you can jump on to curbs and over them if needed
