How to give criticism

I've recently realized that too and I have to say:
Rafael, you're a great member! Thanks for pointing it out! This thread should be stickied.

Totally agreed with everything!.. but .. what's that about flings work per second frame? O.o

Aka, don't be a d*ck.

What I normally do: With beginners, I'm easygoing. They hang off of people's words like your mom hangs off of-- you know what? I won't go there. Anyways, being nice is great. It gets you good friends. My friend is a complete asshat sometimes and it's really hard to deal with. No one likes him as much. I rant alot, but that's because of my feeling of fairness or morality, and no ill-will is meant to any person in particular. Criticisms are welcome when someone knows just what you're criticizing, and someone who barely knows you may not perceive it exactly the way you do. And that goes for people who know you well over the internet, too.

I think that telling someone what exactly they did wrong (or right) or what they can improve upon is of the utmost importance. Conveying the idea takes a ton of work. Conveying all of it is near impossible, in my opinion. It's like explaining the experience of looking through specially made (just for you) glasses to someone who cannot see. However, try to get an idea across of where exactly someone went wrong. It takes a lot of work, but work gives way to improvement, and it's all worthwhile in the end.



Flings every second frame are normally very powerful @hotflash. Also, it will only really pick up, I think every two frames.

most flings only work every other frame due to how the lines work. most everyframes turn into grolls or kill him.

Very good done, Rafael. It's important to motivate new members

Great thread

Hell, to be honest I don't know what half those tricks are, haha. But the idea is encouragement and progression. If you unable to do this, don't let me ever catch you making a "linerider is dieing" thread

Black text = srs bsns

THANK YOU Rafael, it's about time someone made a thread about this. I always find it awkward trying to think of something to post on a newbs first/second track. I also know that it took me about 6 months to figure out basic nose manuals.

Oh, and I remember when you released Aura with Klinga. I thought it was really good at the time

Brilliant tutorial Rafael, possibly new members will stay longer from now on, if people do what's told in the tut.

Thanks for the positive comments, guys It's always nice to help people out.
@ Cereal, black text, vry srs bsns

Don't you think it's a little saddening that a thread like this has to be made in the first place? I mean, a tutorial on how to give criticism are we really that (what's the word I'm looking for?) jaded?

Yes, we are. We are the elitists who've seen the pinnacle of what has been accomplished. So when some new guy comes on and posts a kickflip, we're like "saw that in 2008". Fight that urge!

And just remember that it can be rather humbling to look for advice from people they might have only known by videos on youtube.

"We" is not always "us" as a community, chih. We've seen the pinnacle, sure, but all of us have not seen the ultimate accomplishment, and we need to remember that every person that posts a video may or may not be part of that ultimate accomplishment. We all started out just like that person. We are just like them, because they started out like us.

That's my opinion. Good luck figuring it out and interpreting it.

You just said what chih said in a bunch more words

But to a new member, "we" are only as good as the ones who respond. That's all I was saying

Jeez, I guess things must have gone down the tubes since I stopped watching Lr vids/posting in them.

Nice job being jerks .

rafael, that was actually pretty descriptive :3 Ty

But it seems to be ironic though :/

Linerage does make a point. Rafael isn't exactly the nicest guy about criticism lol. Most of the time (and I'm not tryin to pick on you) all I ever hear him say is "oh you could do better."

Wizzy, stop making an arguement ..it's senseless. and even if he does, at least he tries to become better? sorry swearing alert.

I'm not making an argument, I'm agreeing with linerage. It is pretty ironic the guy that doesn't give the best criticism is showing us how to give it.

Thanks for taking the time to make this.



+Maybe if people stumble upon a random track on YouTube, they could give them criticism and then point them here.

flings work every 2 frames.

I just learnt something new.

There are tons of tracks being released every day, it's a shame that so few people try to get them into this community

How do nembz interput with LR: Acctually some people like me found the linerider site and decided to make tracks though i sucked at linerider for about two years back in 2008, though when I went on youtube for my frist time witch was four years ago and searched linerider and found uncounds tracks and an old track made by someone who lives in france. That is kind of how i got inspiried my self though i only could do manuls but looking at the tracks we see today, i got way better at linerider and it took me 6 months to work on flings, XY, manuals and quircks. I agree with the rest, just not, how nembz interput with LR.

I think you misinterpret the meaning of interpreting
How do newbs interpret tricks means what people think a certain trick is when they hear it... or something like that, can't really describe it perfectly
What I meant was that noobs don't know how a fling works the first time they see one, and this works the same with pretty much any other trick.
