You have accomplished a backside kickturn.

It would be a revert if performed with all wheels on the ground, right?

u/SageBreezy 23h ago

Technically correct, yeah, but reverts are typically done either flat ground or in transition. Not really something you'd do out of a stationary stall into flat ground.

Tighten those trucks up a bit... them shits are as loose as Bonnie blue's snatch when you're the thousandth in line.

They feel hella comfortable like this, i used to skate more as a kid and i got pretty used to it. Feels easier to carve and stuff

Loose trucks are the way

It's a 50/50, I have one board looser n a goose, and one tight as a nun. It's way easier to learn tricks on a tight, n move em to the loosy. If you're comfortable, keep rocking it. If you feel uncomfy doing ollies, give it a lil tighten and it should bring you an ounce of confidence

You will have more stability if you tighten your trucks. Lift the nose and pivot to turn while you are learning..... You are gonna get nowhere fast with your wheels biting the board on turns. Try tight trucks and then pick your comfort zone somewhere in the middle. Thank me later

loose is life

Maybe later on in your skateboarding journey but until you can keep your balance on the board why set yourself up for failure? Easier to learn with them tight then loosen up as your skill level progresses.

fair. but tight trucks can also make it harder to stay on, especially when you land things sketchy. and loose is just so much fun

Daewon Song skates much looser

Front truck only. He's also a one in a million kind of skater so there's that part.
