SKATING TRIC
N,
RUNNING AND THEN JUMPING ON
R
BOARD IS A GOOD WAY TO GET THE SPEED
YOU NEED TO DO YOUR TRICK IN A SMALL
SPACE. THIS IS JUST ANOTHER WAY OF
GETTING ON YOUR BOARD THAT TAKES A BIT
OF PRACTICE AND CAN LOOK COOL TOO.
P
JUMP &
Think about
the trick you’re
about to do.
Plan it in
your mind.
Visualize it.
How fast will
you need to
run to get the
speed you
need to do
your trick in
the little space
you have?
Start running!
As you run,
bend down
and have the
back wheels
on the ground
rolling. Keep
holding onto
the nose of
your board.
Letgo of the
board with
your hand and
throw it a little
forward in
front of you so
that your right
leg can step
onto the front
of the board
and straight
into pushing
mode.
Make sure
you put
your front
foot, which
automatically
becomes
your steering
foot directly
in the centre
of the board,
otherwise the
board will
turn away
from you as
soon as you
get on. Push!
Like there’s no
tomorrow, fly
like the wind
and pull off
that trick.
Hold the
board from
the nose. If
you are Goofy
stance hold
the board
with your
right hand.
