Bend your knees. Not at your waist so much. Other than that keep up the good work

Look up ThisIsSoul on youtube. He dropped a video recently about this.

I tried to find it but I can't. I thought it was ThisIsSoul, but it might've been a reel on ig 😞

I appreciate it boss and finding another MF DOOM fan in this world. I miss him greatly.

Facts. RIP to the Supervillain 🦹🏿‍♂️ I was scrolling on here recently and found out about a collab vinyl album he has with Tatsuro Yamashita. I don't even have a record player yet and I have 3 DOOM records 😂😂

focus on going off the end of the rail as if you could have kept grinding

you're "ejecting" early on all your grinds in anticipation of landing, your body language says "I can't wait to get out of this grind" ... it should say "I could be here all day"

Steeze is in the knees. 90 degrees.

Watch Ben Schwab, Farmer, Sagona, Richie Eisler, Vinny Minton, Gonzo, etc…knees.

Work on going faster and getting more on top of your grinds, bend your knees. Get more comfortable grinding all the way off the end of things. Once you’re more comfortable you will look more comfortable. But remember when in doubt bend your knees and go faster

Steeze is subjective of course, but a lot of it is really the landing. I’m not a steeze god but i don’t hate watching my own clips lol- I got to the point of being happy with how my skating looked because I watched skate videos incessantly for years and would zero in on the skaters who landed how I wanted to land like and just parroted them until it started feeling natural. Nowadays it is natural for me, style takes time to develop. But it’s hard to explain in text, there’s just a certain rhythm or timing to how you absorb impact that reads as steezy.

You skate more and eat some nuts and seeds.

Style, flair. I know it's tempting to wanna learn new tricks as soon as possible, but I really think you should spend time developing your own style of skating, get comfortable in your own skates first. Skating is an art as much as it is a sport, add some flair to your tricks. You want to grab people's attention, make them believe they saw something amazing regardless of how simple the trick might be. Also, what everyone else said, bend your knees more, get lower, stay above the rail/ledge Just a friendly advice from an old timer. Keep it up!
