Summer 2021 E-Games of D.I.R.T

This was a great visual progression through the learning process:

  • “what the fuck am i supposed to be doing here”
  • “Legs don’t go that way!”
  • “Gotta throw this heavy ass board”
  • “Oh shit, maybe if i get the balance right”
  • “Tie it all together man!”
  • “Counts… I’m done”

:joy:

Man I had 30 minutes earlier this morning and tried this on wet grass with the 47 lb board and failed spectacularly :rofl:

I really love this game. These days when I am out I feel some confidence to push my boundaries a bit rather than just pootering around. 180s are actually practical, not just a challenge. My jumps are turning into ollies, and now i’m eyeing some gaps.

Nothing worse than sending it 90% haha

Sometimes this is the hardest part. You have to just send it, and if you have the concept down, if you commit 100%, you ususally get it.

I was trying to learn wheelies and ended up sending it too hard and flipping over… my front foot came out and my back foot stayed in and twisted hard. I though I fractured my foot. Finally stopped hurting 3 weeks later.

This is where heelstraps really come in clutch, it makes the difference between twisting, or just the whole board coming with you, which I think is better

At first the concept of being locked on the board scared me too but now i cant ride without heelstraps. It just gives you more confidence.

i like heelstraps, but i’m not taking my chances while i speed…. tho regardless if i fall it’d be bad

that and i have no clue how to put Tramps heelstraps on mbs bindings
been pretty ok heel-less so far, but it would be nice to have it available if i wanna do offroading orr am going at a slower pace so i can really push the jumps

Ive only used Heelstraps for learning Tame Dogs (Front Flips) on the Air-Bag.
I don’t want the board to land on my head. XD

Everything else is Strapless, and Loose Straps at that.
I use two stances for holding the deck with loose straps.

The Rock Stance, Where you spread out your legs and press your feet into the bindings.
and
The Rodeo Stance, where you pull our legs in-ward like your are trying to hold onto a Bull.

These two stances can help for 180’s and more. They will allow you to Shifty your board in the Air.
You may even need to use both stances in a combo to manipulate the boards direction.
Just my thoughts, hope the info helps for the strapless riders.

1 - i attempted the bean sprout for like 5 minutes, just gotta stuck the landing

2 - i like stairs even though it caused my board to have a stroke for a hot second (gotta see if it’s permanent or not)

I think I’m gonna have to drop out of D.I.R.T. I’ll still try the tricks I’ve got time to do. School and Sports is taking way too much time, who knew 2 1/2 hours a day would make you tired :face_with_monocle:
