In this podcast episode, we dive into a skateboarding lesson aimed at enhancing flow and pumping techniques in a bowl. Instructor JB guides Adam, who has been skating for a year and a half, on how to refine his pumping skills. JB emphasizes the importance of making exaggerated upward pumps, followed by a strong tuck and an explosive stand-up to maximize speed and momentum. The lesson also explores line selection within the bowl, using the "bowling ball" analogy to illustrate how to maintain a smooth and efficient path. By the end, Adam successfully navigates the bowl with greater speed and control. The key takeaway? A powerful "snap out" from the bottom of each pump is crucial for generating acceleration and sustaining momentum.
