what makes good style ?

[sk8vid]

hey guys , i was just wondering ,wat features really make good style ??

[Kake Jelly]

Smooth good looking tricks

[crazy_dave]

Don't worry, you'll get one naturally over time. All i really think of it as looking like your confident and belong on a board. Not like flailing arms and sloppyness.

[jack_morris]

a good style is smooth, fast, solid tricks that are made look easy, like dave said it will come over time.

[skaterat]

Yep, style isn't something you learn, it's innate (an unlearned response). Your own style develops with time. Some people try to immitate other skaters style but you can tell it's just not theirs. I like a smooth powerful style with some surf influence, low and aggresive.

[airickq]

yea when you skate just be yourself, that's good style.

that was so gay. and not a good measure for what a good style is.

[mcwattersm]

Why do people use gay. Are they just extremely homophobic or upset the they are infact homosexual and they try to make it look like they arnt as much as possible.

Just good flow makes for good style. Don't fling your arms all over the place like your on fire. But have some arm movement.

[NoneMoreBlack]

No i Am not extremely hobophobic and i am not trying to cover up my own homosexuality. It got stuck on me becasue every says it. Kinda like subliminal messages? Ya know

[mcwattersm]

Yeah I know what you mean. I wasn't really calling you all that shit, I was just saying the person who first came up with "gay" as a slang term for stupid, is either A; extremely hobophobic or B; trying to cover up for their own homosexuality.

[sk8rjohn7]

ya that video did not show that he was good syle.

style is something you pick up after years of skating.

[Sk8tboarD]

Dont worry about it right now.. just skate and work on it as you go

[Dookie416]

yeah, every kid tries to make their style look good when they do "yeah right" manuals and they put their arms down like they are dead, but if you do it right, and kinda swirve left and right when you do it, like koston actually does, then you can do it the right way.

[China Skate]

I can big spin with my hands in my pockets.

Don't worry about style. It's no model industry.

C; all of the above

[axe77]

that doesnt even make sence unless he hats himself

[shad0w]

The best way to get good style is to not watch me skate.

Mainly just land clean tricks, go fast, and shake habits like deck check, mongo and mobbing flip tricks (not necessarily mongo).

P.S. The person above me meant 'hates himself', not 'hats himself'. Just incase you were confused.

[Mr.42]

Just try not to ride like you've got a turd sticking out of your ass, and you'll do okay.

[Zakudajoo]

I use gay a lot
Its realy nothing against gay people, I have no problem with it
its something that everyone was saying like 3rd grade for me and its like instinct to say Gay rather than stupid. Now that I understand it can be offensive I cant drop it :(

[KBobb2009]

^^^I agree with you 100%

It takes practice. I don't use it anymore. Ask somebody to point it out everytime you say it.

I say gay so much on this forum but I always do it by mistake and go back and edit it. :-6: Just lettin ya kno

[Apek~Dom]

I have the same problem as you man ( I know you ), yeah that's true, we should just like flow around with the board and get lots o' speed, and not pivot before doing a kickflip 5 because your board turns cause your leaning on one side (hehe).
