Hey so I've decided to do this animation where my RHG character fights a girl version of himself. His girl version uses a skateboard though, something I haven't had any practice with animating before. So here was a quick skateboard test to get a little familiar with it.

As usual comments would be lovely.

Movements are alright, a bit of wobbliness here and there. The first time I saw this, the skateboard didn't seem to be moving. A moving background helps.

Your easing is pretty good but something looks wrong. I can't quite pin it down. There's a bit of shakiness and he's leaning forwards slightly too far at the end but I don't think that's what's bothering me. Eh. But yeah, it's not bad. Just be careful with your shakiness.

Alright thanks guys for the tips. Also did anyone think the board was a little too big, because I wasn't too sure about that.

Nah. A normal-sized board would look silly in pivot.
