INVADING SOHH CHAMPION
it really comes down, to he's not technically sound.. some people are, some arent.. its something that could easily be learned, but as this point in his life.. it seems as if he's got so many "yes men" around him- that he's not in tune with alot of things.. it would take someone to be like, "homie.. you look really awkward, and goofy on a skateboard" for him to actually get it..
skateboarding is something you either have, or you dont.. alot of people start off looking as awkward as he does in this video.. but, at this point.. given the level of talent hes been exposed to, as well as all the time in the world to hone a skill as looking comfortable on a skateboard.. its pretty safe to say, he wont get it..
the first things ANY skateboarder should learn.. is, how to ride comfartably(foot placement, and weight distribution).. and, how to fall properly.. he clearly looks uncomfortable, and if he were to fall-
as i said, i commend him on his fakie shuv-it.. not bad.. but, he's clearly got a very long way to go in terms of ollieing, and the variation of trick that will derive from that..
real talk.. it took me one night to lear how to ollie up a curb..i taught kids how to kickflip, in ten minutes.. its about foot placement, and weight distribution.. thats the foundation, Wayne clearly lacks.. dudes hustling his skate shyt backwards..
preciate it,..handshake!!
i feel you on if he was to fall...
plus he is at an age.
where i would think he should know. that if he fell, his recovery time would be lengthened considerably. which is why i don't understand his inability to not pick up the mechanics. as i would think at that age,..your comprehension on mechanics would be at a level. where you know you have to master it or risk serious injury.
when i watch him skate,..i cringe like when he falls, he is done...
or let's say he is at a venue..
in the parking lot and can't control the deck to manuever out the way a rocm or small stick getting stuck under his truck. or he can't do a simple tail stop to avoid a truck in the lot.
it is over his body and layers of his epidermis are shredded off in one circumstance.
i guess when you get by on half assing,...you just half ass everything.
anyway,..why not pitch him for that check.
to teach him and give him the harsh critique.
i would think you could ramp him up pretty quickly.
or do you not want him to be turned on by you and attached to your brand?
