What this video teaches
This Braille daily lesson opens with stretching and basic rolling drills, then builds the caveman in four graded steps so it is never scary. Aaron Kyro has you hold the board with your front hand (left hand for left foot forward, right hand for right foot forward) and first only throw the board down into your back foot without stepping on, using the hand as the control point to keep the board still and the back foot landing very flat. Next you set it down and step on with both feet slowly, then speed that up, and only then jump off the ball of the back foot into the full trick. He stresses that what you are really learning is timing: when you let go of the board, when it meets your foot, and when you jump.
Key tips
- Hold the board with your front hand, meaning the left hand if you ride left foot forward and the right hand if you ride right foot forward
- First drill: only throw the board down onto your back foot, no jumping, with your hand keeping the board still and your foot landing flat
- Second drill: put the board down and step on with both feet slowly, then gradually speed it up
- Full version: jump off the ball of your back foot, then place that foot onto the board
- The real skill being learned is timing between releasing the board, the board meeting your foot, and the jump
- Keep your eyes on the trucks and land bolts; the bolts are the most stable part of the board and landing there protects the nose and tail
