What this video teaches
Ronnie Sandoval teaches the frontside boneless specifically on transition at the coping, and his first cue is aiming the front foot at the coping rather than rushing it, because the common failure is timing it too fast so the front foot slips right over the coping and you bail. He wants the grab behind the knee rather than in the middle of your leg, and he treats the foot planting and the board shooting into your hand as one simultaneous motion so the board follows the momentum of the back foot naturally. For landing, he aims under the coping rather than on top of it, and points out that jumping out too far leaves you landing flat.
Key tips
- Aim your front foot at the coping as you go up; timing it too fast makes the foot slip over the coping and shoot you out
- Grab behind the knee, not in the middle of your leg
- Plant the foot and shoot the board into your hand as one motion; the board then follows the momentum of your back foot
- Jump straight up off the planted front foot and aim to land back under the coping, not out flat and not on top of it unless you are going to disaster
- Frontside early grab airs build the exact landing feel, since you take the same impact dropping the board back under your feet
