What this video teaches
SKATEDELUXE gives the short definition and the full sequence in under a minute: an axle stall locks both trucks on the coping without grinding, and you leave the ramp in your normal riding stance. Their foot placement is back foot in the middle of the tail but slightly closer to the back truck bolts, and front foot between the middle of the board and the front truck bolts. The timing cue is precise: as the front truck passes above the coping and the back truck is nearly there, press the tail slightly and turn the hips 90 degrees to lock in. They name backside kick turns as the prerequisite to have first.
Key tips
- An axle stall means both trucks lock on the coping without grinding, and you leave in your normal riding position
- Practice backside kick turns before attempting axle stalls
- Back foot in the middle of the tail, slightly toward the back truck bolts; front foot between the middle of the board and the front truck bolts
- Time the lock-in for when the front truck is above the coping and the back truck is almost there, then press the tail and turn the hips 90 degrees
- Once stalled, lean your weight back so you are standing on top of the ramp with legs slightly bent
- To come out, press the tail slightly, turn the hips toward the bottom of the ramp, lean forward and leave the coping
