i can balance fine but i need some help to actually do tricks

can you give a joint by joint tutorial on a trick (including what mod used) so i can get the general idea on how to do stuff on a skateboard and then hopefully make my own tricks.

Hey there, this belongs in Beginner Sanctuary.

all i do is extend the left glute and it gets you riding (relax)

dragenon thanks for the advice on how to ollie but i still dont know how to do kickflips and stuff

Well once you look at your ghost and see that the board is about to get into the air, play around with your legs. Like contracting both knees, hips, and ankles to get the board to do a kickflip.

Every frame counts, every time a body part touches the board, it'll move easily. Even if it only touched it for 1 frame.

Take a look at this replay, pause at frame: 1930 and watch my right leg, it's contracting and my foot is making contact with the board which causes it to flip sideways.
The replay may look good, but I failed the landing.
EDIT2: Oh and I almost forgot, I believe the arms and lumber are very important in balancing because if you are leaning to far foward, use your lumber.

EDIT: I just realized that the mod won't load, sorry about that but I used the mod: skateboard3.tbm . You probably don't have it. Click here to download it, put that file in your mod folder ( Toribash -> data -> mod ). Once you done that, you will have to download my replay and place it in your replay folder ( Toribash -> replay )

thanks for the help i managed to do a 360 pop-shuvit
in case u dont know what that its wen u spin the board horizontally (i didnt land it so i improvised and it turned out OK)

u can keep giving tips if u want for other peoples benifit but i lkely wont view this again

i think the mod is skate2 search skateboarding in the forums and ul get a threa called real skateboarding (or something like that)

Very nice, but you could have landed if you had more air D8.

Not the very first time someone has made a thread like this.

If you search `em up, you could find more tips from other members that asked.

skate1.rpl
skate2.rpl

Here's my beginner skating replays. The trick is to lower your body as much as possible without losing balance, then spin upwards with your knees, you can spin up by reversing every joint, too(that's what i do in my second replay)
Handle a skate replay like a madman, keep editing it to it looks better (the first replay must have gone through at least 10 edit's)

Hope this help

none of this helps me , JUST RIGHT DOWN THE INSTRUCTIONS!
