I love the “intro speech” in this one - it sounds like KIT from Knight Rider :) Also the fact that we have to try the basics at least 5000 times…oh well, get skating guys…

Finally a group of skaters set a date to make this cool trick. I've been thinking about inverts since the day I started skating vert (yeah, didn't get far though and it's been 20 years...)I'm in for it..September 30th is the day. Good luck everybody. I never understood how to get my hand on the transition but DINO's info should help! Off to the park in twenty minutes..</p> YES! Finally a group of skaters set a date to make this cool trick.

I went for the invert, the board came back too fast and I totally flipped over with all my weight on the right shoulder. Popped that sucker out clean.</p> Just FYI, that’s how I first dislocated my shoulder in 2002.
