What this video teaches
Aimed at skaters stuck at home: practice on carpet and while holding furniture, with foot placement, the snap, the slide, common mistakes, and a clear-an-obstacle milestone.
Key tips
- Back foot on the toe side of the tail so you can snap it hard
- Keep the front foot balanced, roughly below the front bolts
- Snap the tail and jump together; both feet leave the board
- Aggressively slide your front foot up the grip to level the board
- Pop harder if the board flips sideways
- Practice on carpet so the wheels stay still
- Hold a couch or rail to go weightless and isolate the foot mechanics
- Progress: stationary, then rolling, then over an obstacle like a shoe
