How to Rock To Fakie | Skateboard Trick Tip | skatedeluxe

What this video teaches

Skatedeluxe gives a compact walkthrough of the sequence. Approach with enough speed that the front truck passes over the coping while the back truck stays on the transition, then push the front foot out to press the front of the board down onto the platform while leaning your body back. After a moment gravity pulls you back into the ramp, at which point you ease the weight off the front leg and press the back truck down on the transition so the front truck comes out of the rock. Their one explicit warning is about timing the exit: setting the front truck down too early is what hangs you up on the coping and drops you.

Key tips

• 1Carry enough speed that the front truck clears the coping but the back truck stays on the transition
• 2Push the front foot out to press the front of the board onto the platform, and lean your body back
• 3Wait for gravity to pull you back in rather than forcing the exit
• 4Ease the weight off the front leg and press the back truck down on the transition to release the rock
• 5Do not set the front truck down too early on the way in; that is what hangs you up and causes the fall
