--------------------Trick Tips 4----------------

THE BONELESS~ Have your front foot just behind the front truck bolts. Reach your front hand down and grab the heel edge of the board sorta behind your front foot. You should be a little bent over. Pull it up as you take your back foot off the board and slam it onto the ground in front of you (on the toe side). Use this to jump off the ground, keeping the board under you with your front hand. Tuck up your back foot and put it back on the board, then release the grab. Do this really fast. Land with 2 feet and roll away.


180 NO COMPLY INDY~ First, just start riding. Push your tail down and put you're front foot a few inches left from the board. With your right hand, grab the right side of the board, jump as if you were doing a backside 180, and as you're spinning, push the board down with your right hand so you can catch the board with both feet. Land and ride away.

ROCK N' ROLL~ After you have learned how to drop in on a halfpipe, approach the coping with your back foot on the tail (normal) and your front foot about on the first two bolts of the front truck. Get enough speed and push down on your tail to lift your nose a little to get your front truck over the coping. Once you get your front truck over the coping, put some weight on your front foot to lift the tail in the air. You should be in sort of a boardslide position, but not moving. Lean back by putting your back truck back on the ramp again. Lift the nose as you slide back into the ramp fakie. Make sure you get your front truck isn't caught up on the coping. Lean back and put your front truck down on the ramp. Roll back into the ramp in the fakie position and set up for your next trick.


TAIL STALL~ This trick is done while riding fakie. Make sure you are high enough that you can stall on the tail.If you are pumping a good rule of thumb is if your front wheels almost hit coping then its safe to do a tail stall on the other end. To do a tail stall simply apply pressure to the tail and shift your weight upward and onto the tail. You will end up like you are going to drop in. To land a tail stall simply drop back in. If you are having trouble doing this trick just tap your tail instead of doing a complete stall. It will help you get the hang of it.


FAKIE DISASTER STALL~ Go fast towards a lip. As you're near the lip, push down on the tail and sorta "drag" it to slow you down and to get your front wheels above the coping. Once your front end is past the coping, shift your weight toward the deck (while keeping the board vertical) until you are stalling on the backside of your rear trucks (with your tail flush against the vert part of the ramp). To get out of this position, shift your weight away form the deck until your rear wheel are back on the ramp, then push down on the nose to go into a rock-and-roll position, then end it like a rock-and-roll. In other words, go up the ramp, stall on the tail of your board like you overdid a rock-and-roll stall, then rock it and roll back down the ramp fakie.
