What this video teaches
Braille's tutorial focuses on approach angle and weight placement, emphasizing you should come at a nearly parallel angle to the obstacle (not angled in) and keep your eyes on the corner the whole time. It walks through the lock-in mechanic step by step, starting on the last quarter of the ledge so you can get used to getting into position before committing to a full run. The pop-out is shown as a focused nollie-style motion off the nose.
Key tips
- Approach nearly parallel to the ledge, about half a foot away, not angled in
- Keep your eyes locked on the corner of the obstacle throughout the trick
- Start by practicing on just the last quarter of the ledge to get comfortable locking in
- Pop up and land with weight pressing through the nose and front truck onto the obstacle
- Pop out by nudging the front foot forward off the nose, similar to a nollie motion
