TRICK TIPS

If anyone wants a trick tip for anything, I'll make a vid. It'll probably be more tranny oriented tricks, since you guys can probably do all the tricks I can on flatground anyway Laughing

Not tryin to sound like I'm a tranny master or anything, just saying it'd be cool to have trick tips on request, written or in video form. Anyone agree? Or will this thread just die Very Happy

k man, no prob.
Can't hit the park till tuesday, so a written tip will have to do for now.
The main thing about this is realising that it's not that scary. You just need to feel in control of the board. The way I learned them was by doing fs kickturns on the qp, and getting progressively higher and higher, until I reached the coping and got fs pivots. The important thing at this stage is you control the front truck, really feel the pivot. It's kind of up to you how much pressure you put on the tail. You need to be pressing right where the "centre" of the bolts are, if you get me, rather than on your toes (like you would do for a back 5-0). Then all you need to do really is come with a bit more speed and at an angle at the coping. Judge how high you need to go, and keep yourself supported and pressed on that back truck. To come out of the grind, just begin to turn your shoulders slowly, lean back into the ramp, and press HARD on the back truck, lifting your front foot as you do this to pull you out of the grind. Don't try to turn too sharply and you're sorted. You'll look like this at first when you're approching the coping affraid

but just commit (how many times has that been said) and everything will work out fine, I promise. Once you get the first one, you'll want to keep doing them bigger and faster.

Mine are still kinda slashy, but meh, I have em. I swear, you'll be unbelievably stoked to get a fs grind on tranny. I know the tip was kinda vague, but this one really is all about experimentation. Hope this helps.
