I don't post about #skateboarding often on here - I like keeping different parts of my life separate - but with @loops coming together, I figure it's time for me to put some skating on the #Fediverse.

If you're already on Loops, you can find me on there (@coldkennels, same as everywhere).

I never joined TikTok on principle, and I hate Instagram with a passion. Here's hoping Loops can be a new home for the #FreestyleSkateboarding community.

Here's a little clip of this nonsense as a taster.

@coldkennels @loops I had a go with pixelfed but it didnt quite cut it. Loops looks more promising. Is the testing finished now?

@retrolasered @loops nah. Still a way from prime time. But it’s still a major accomplishment! I’m looking forward to seeing it develop.

@anaelleoberlin Thanks! I actually have a guide to that particular one - the crossfoot casper - on my website: https://freestyletricktips.com/casper/crossfoot-casper/

If you're only getting started though, even the basic casper (https://freestyletricktips.com/casper/casper/) might be a bit advanced for now. But definitely give it a go at some point! Caspers are fun.

How to do a Crossfoot Casper - Freestyle Tricktips

The crossfoot casper is one of the most awkward casper tricks there is - but this guide should help de-mystify one of the most unusual skateboarding tricks.

@coldkennels thank you so much ! it might take a minute for me to answer about how difficult I will find it, since I am literally still in the process of learning (theoretically) before I can hopefully move soon somewhere with skateable infrastructure.
but again, so cool of you to share, it is always encouraging (and fun :) )

@anaelleoberlin if you’re interested in freestyle skateboarding in particular, you should get in touch with Stefane who runs Putain skateboards in France. I’m sure he’d be more than happy to help you out.

@coldkennels thank you! I will keep that in mind for when I am there (hopefully)
