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
