Trick Tips (Land)

Here we will show you how to improve all those tricks your struggling on...

1. Push at a comfortable speed, remembering that the faster you go the better the pop.

2. Place your front foot near the middle of your board, about two inches under your bolts and place your back foot on the tail.

3. Squat, so you can quickly spring yourself up.

4. Kick your back foot down hard. Now, use your front foot to slide upward on your griptape.

5. Make sure you tuck your knees to your chest, picking up your back foot as well to level the board at a good height. REMEMBER, you are jumping forward.

6. Now, come down comfortably, both feet on the board. It will look better if both your feet are over the bolts as well as lessen the stress of impact

7. Finally bend your legs as you touch down to give it that smooth style and roll away.

1. Start off with your feet placed like an ollie on your deck.

2. Rideat a comfortable speed, its about the same as an ollie except you rotate your body inward.

3. As you ollie up kick your back foot behind you and you board will rotate inwards.

4. Keep your shoulders and body straight, remember to not turn.

5. The harder you pop the higher your board will.

6. Land evenly on your board and ride away with a smile.

1. Start with your back foot on the tail and your front foot under the bolts. Your front foot should be slanted a little bit.

2. Bend your knees and pop your board hard.

3. Flick your front foot off the tip of the nose making it flip inwards.

4. Keep up your legs for the catch. Try tokeep your feet over the bolts.

5. Land, absorb the shock and roll away.

1. Ride toward the object your are trying to hardflip (gap, stairs, ramp, flatgound).

2. Place your back foot in the left corner (if your goofy right corner if you are regular foot) of your tail. Now set your front foot on the upper right side (if your goofy) were it feels comfortable to flick it off to the side.

3. Since your board is fliping in a folding fashion, most of the work is done with your back foot.

4. When you're ready, scoop your back foot so that your board will start going into a vertical motion.

5. When your front foot reaches the top of the decklet it go limp so that you get a solid flick.

6. Avoid poping too hard, because then it is too hard to catch. Try and pop with control.

7. Watch for your board, catch it as it folds up to your legs.

8. Catch it then land smooth.

1. Roll fast enough that you feel like you're rolling comfortably across the ground.

2. Set up your back foot on the tip of the tail and your front foot just behind the front truck bolts with your toes hanging off the edge of the board. Keep your body straight - your head should be directly above the center point between your feet.

3. Bend down, keeping your head above your board. (Don't lean forward, just squat.)

4. Do an ollie and jump with it but don't throw your shoulders back as you go up. Right after your tail taps the ground, kick your front foot forward with the heel in a diagonal direction. Kick it out in front of you and also kick it a little toward the direction in which you are rolling. This helps to give you a flip that you can catch easier.

5. Do not lean back! Don't bail! Catch the board, and land. Roll away happily!

1. First you need to be able to keep a good amount of control and balance on your deck.

2. Approach the obstacle you want to do the trick over or down.

3. Put your back foot in the opposite direction you are facing

4. At the same time let your front foot flick straight off the corner of your board where the curve starts. If your goofy footed it will be the right side, regular would be the left side.

5. After doing this let your board rotate under you until you see the board folding up to your feet.

6. Catch the board and land solid.

Note: foot positions vary from person to person, I prefer to set my back foot in the corner of the board and my front foot right under the bolts with my heel hanging off.
