How To Frontside Air || The Only Trick You'll Need For Pool Parties 

exactly this! And the thing that helped me the most to attempt to land my first couple was turning my head in the air and looking where I wanted to land. Its still a little nerve racking going for airs but once you have the feel for landing them they become much easier to do! Good luck!

Lmao no shit : )

Hey! I'm glad you liked the video, it was the first time I've made any tutorial videos so I said in the video to use other videos as resources as well! I have knee pads that i used to try and learn this trick but for me they just encouraged me to bail out every time. I wish I could do backside airs so I could make that video for you too haha, If you learn them make a video for me please so I can learn them too :)

@@JDawwgy watch Willis Kimbel's backside air tutorial, it's the best.

Be careful about running out too many times. You'll trick your mind into thinking that's how the trick is done every time and it will be much harder to force your body to stay on the board.

No joke dawg! Its easier to think about just keeping yourself tight in the air!

Thanks for the comment my man! I agree with you 100%, I learned the frontside air with pads and its only been recently that I've got comfortable enough to try and ride away with bare knees!

Thanks dawg! Once the snow here melts I'll defiantly get back out there and make some more, any requests?

You got it my dude! I'm going to learn bs air this year too hopefully!

Good luck dawg! Remember you might not get it on day one but keep at it!

Happy to help dawg! good luck!

Right you are! Once I figured out I had to look where I was trying to land the trick seemed doable, a week or so of practice and I rolled away from my first one!

hope you have an easy time landing your first one! subscribe for more trick tips coming soon!

Thanks man! Glad you enjoyed, its too snowy here to do anything outdoors so I'll get back at it in the spring!!

Happy to help Dawg! Good luck landing it :)

Practice and people will be jealous of you!! Good luck Dawg :)

gotchu dude! Any other tricks you want to see?

@@JDawwgy back lip?

Thanks man! If you land it let me know!! Any other tricks your trying to learn?

Thanks for you support! Good luck landing your first one! If you want to see a slow motion tutorialish frontside air as well head over to my channel!

That's awesome to hear Maxime, I watched every tutorial on RU-vid before I was able to get my first few landed. I hoped that my video would be the one that talked about the things that I felt actually helped me get the trick for the first time and help others do the same! Keep at it and the tuck knee will come naturally soon!

You got it man, if your stuck (able to grab the board but not land) remember to look where you want to land!

Thanks man! I took a few video editing classes in school I'm glad it worked out :)

Happy to help dawg :) good luck out there!

Lmao this is probably one of the best compliments I've ever received in my life! Good luck out there my dawg :)

Glad to help! I'll make more skate vids once the snow melts here! What tricks are you trying to learn?

Thanks dawg! Good luck :)

good luck my dude! Hope this helped, I also have a slow motion tutorialish video on my channel that you should check out!

thanks dawg :)

No worries! Any other tricks you want to see?

Thanks for the support! Good luck landing your first air! :)

Good luck with the airs my dawg!

Good lucky my dawg :)

I agree! And the only good reasons I can giver anyone to learn this trick is that it's super fun and you look the coolest!

Thanks dawg :)

Thanks dawg! Any other tricks you've been trying to learn? I do love the bowl but I've also got a small bag of street tricks I could teach!

I'm 62 and learning to skate my own concrete ramps here So. Mexico. I'm riding a Carver so it's kinda a different game, I'm after surf inspired tricks, one i do is come at the ramp at a angle and do a 300 degree kick turn at the top and ride out , don't think a lot of skaters will be interested in that, but it sure feels good specially if you can keep the same speed. And translates to the water. Btw grabbing the board and running out is a great trip on your part! Tanks huh

I'll definitely have a watch of your bs tutorial before I get out there next time! Thanks for your support dawg :)

Thanks dawg!

No worries dawg! Good luck landing your first one! Subscribe for more videos coming this summer (snowed in atm)!

@@JDawwgy consider it done

Ya you are! Good luck!!

One of the smoothest fastest bowls around! And the pool coping makes grinds 100% more fun!

Hell ya! Good luck Dawg :)

so howd it go

Never heard back from him I'm worried LMAO

Legend has it he's still flying through the air LOL

You'll get there dawg! This has been my dream trick since I started skateboarding. It took me years to figure it out and if your trying them yourself the biggest tip is to turn your head once you grab the board! Good luck!

Hell ya man! I'm so happy to hear that your riding away from some :) your my first success story :D Keep shredding dawg!

I have no idea what that is! haha if you can share some resources with me ill learn it and make a video for you!

Thanks dawg :) I try to put my best clips in the videos ;p

The ramp that your most comfortable riding on is my best recommendation! just note that if the ramp is launching you onto the flat top then you'll have to ollie a bit at the coping. For less of an ollie the ramp will have to help you get your height (the ramp this video was filmed on is 8ft) and keep your body inside the ramp instead of flying onto the deck! Good luck, and I just uploaded a slow motion tutorialish video to my channel that I recommend watching as well!

Thanks man! I'll try to get out and make some more before it snows! any tricks you want to see?

@@JDawwgy boneless/footplant and invert/handplant Stuff would be nice. And frontside Rocks (i could do Them once but than i broke up with Skateboarding until a few months ago, but now I'm totaly Stoked again) :D

@@hierkonnteihrewerbungstehe2022 Cool! I have one foodplant that I can do and I've been working on inverts as well so once the snow here melts I'll get back out there and film it! More bowl tutorials defiantly on the way

@@JDawwgy Nice!

yeah same i’m supahyped!

Thanks for your support :) hopefully I'll get out and make more videos soon!

you know it brother

Thanks dawg! Any other tricks you've been trying to learn? I do love the bowl but I've also got a small bag of street tricks I could teach!

Any airs or handplants.

I gotchu dawg, any other tricks your trying to learn?

@@JDawwgy for sure body jar

@@chamobelga1347 oh boy, I haven't done those for a while! Next time I'm out I'll practice a little so I don't look like I'm flailing when I make a video!

You got it dawg! You might not get it on your first few tries but keep at it and always remember its easier to land on a ramp you can see!

I’m expecting to slam at least 50 times ahahahaha

@@freibourdto693 With those expectations I'm sure you'll get it my dawg!

Thanks for the sub! I'll get out and make more videos once the snow melts! What tricks are you trying to learn?

@@JDawwgy honestly at the moment it's just a matter of getting back on the board and re-learning things... but I am leaning way more towards transition/bowl instead of the gaps/handrails of my youth... one trick I always thought looked really steez but I never got the hang of is a B/S disaster stall. That would be a cool lesson or just follow up your F/S air with a B/S air which is another one I think looks great but never got down... maybe I'm just Backside handicapped lol

@@beemelonhead1 I feel you man, the older I get the less I'm looking forwards to jumping down stairs! As soon as the snow melts here I'm going to get back out there and make some more videos! Hopefully I can still do disasters and I'm going to try and learn backside airs as well! Also don't feel handicapped because I feel like I can either do a trick one way or the other but often not both ways quite as good.

Cool kids only club :)

8.5 was my size of choice when buying popsicle boards, my current boards are welcome and they have interesting shapes sitting usually 9 or 10 inches. I like the bigger ones in the bowl because they can be much more forgiving! I also agree with the soft wheels, they make it much easier to gain and keep your speed. As soon as winter is over I'll be out there making more videos!

@@JDawwgy right on thanks for the reply yo! I was skeptical about the softer wheels because I can tell a significant difference in them not letting me slide as much but yes you're right I notice a lot more speed. I'll just have to get used to them. Also winter times here in Kansas City so not skating as much. I look forward to future content from you. This was a really good tutorial in my opinion. I haven't done a fs air in a long time but I think you made a lot of really strong points that most people might miss. A BS air would be perfect to do next.

If you feel like you need practice landing back in the bowl early grabs are a great way to learn that skill! But to be honest doing early grabs doesn't help much other than that to do this trick in my opinion, It feels much different when you grab the board in the air! Either one is gnarly though and don't let anyone tell you it isn't!

Its winter here right now so once all the snow melts I'll get back out there! Any specific tricks your trying to learn?

@@JDawwgy Top 5 in no particular order - (All in a bowl) Roll in, Front Tailslides, Lien to Tail, Layback grind, backside air

Gotchu dawg! Remember each time the game updates it will likely break the mods that are installed. While this can be very inconvenient for us its important to remember that Mod Assistant was created by a group of devs (not associated with the beat saber devs to my knowledge) and they continually work on it and keep it as up to date as they can. The patch to mod assistant to allow "saber factory" or anything else by a similar name to modify sabers has not yet been patched back into the mod assistant application. Find their server on discord via googling "beat saber modding group". Or continue to check and see the new or updated mods in the app!

when you ride up just lift your front wheels above the coping and ride in manual sort of until the back wheels hit the coping. At this point you should already have your arm outstretched to where the board will be (straightish out in front of you). once the back wheels reach the coping they will hit it and it acts as the pop of your ollie so you don't always need to snap your tail on the way out. once your wheels hit the coping you should be above the coping, this is when you will guide the board and your outstretched arm together. after that pull the board into your body and turn your head to look for the landing.

@@JDawwgy thanks for this. I've been trying to find a decent explanation for months

@@ruledtrendy5066 Happy to help Dawg! Good luck landing your first one! :)

Thanks for the tip! Ill be sure to do some wheelie board tricks in the next one! Any tricks your trying to learn lately?

Its in West Kelowna, British Columbia right behind Johnson Bentley swimming pool!

Hey Grant! What really helped me with the bonk is when your going up the ramp and your front wheels have cleared the coping already, your back hand should already be outstretched waiting for the board to come up. The bonk is only really a bonk because of the noise it makes when your back wheels hit, so make sure your not smashing your back wheels into the coping when your trying. Just think to have your hand where the board is going to go, watch the board go into your hand and then don't forget to turn your head when your ready to try landing it! Hope this helps, if you need any more advice or if what I just said didn't make sense let me know :)

@@JDawwgy thanks for the reply, im gonna focus on those tips and see if i can pull it off. I havent focused much on my grabbing hand i more focus on the coping so that might be the right tip. Thanks

@@grantmansell3712 Good luck my man! Once your about eye level with the coping change your attention to the grab! And when your getting the grab consistently don't forget to LOOK WHERE YOU WANT TO GO! If you want to land back in the bowl always look where your landing! (if your still looking past the coping and out of the bowl when your momentum starts going back down it will be nearly impossible to land and ride away)

All I know is that its a welcome board! Most of their bigger boards 9 - 10 inches have fun shapes!

@@JDawwgy Thanks Legend! keep rocking!

lmao right... I'll put that one on the list, at the bottom ;)

To do a backflip you have to pull your weight back in a pretty specific way, As long as you aren't throwing your head back at the lip of the coping you should be fine!

Its winter here right now but as soon as it warms up a bit and the snow melts I'll get out there and make some more videos! I will defiantly try my best to learn inverts but no promises ;) stay tuned for the body jar video!

@@JDawwgy Nice!! I mostly skate street but always wanted to learn transition/vert tricks. I can do front airs but I cant do them over the coping. It always feels like ill clip haha What easier tricks would you recommend trying?

It's not as easy as it looks! It will take tons of getting used too. The thing that will be the hardest is trying to land on the board for the first time, once you commit to landing it and slide out at the bottom a few times you'll know your on the right track! Good luck and remember to subscribe for more tutorial videos once the snow melts here!

@@JDawwgy hey, I'm trying to learn how to do this but I don't think I'm ready. are you supposed to ollie off the side of the bowl or just ride off of it? also do you need to go really fast?

I find around 6ft deep is the easiest to land on, and as you ride you will notice different shapes of transition that you prefer!

If its not quite vert I tend to make it more of an ollie motion, but you don't necessarily need to snap the tail

I ride on a welcome board, I usually go for 8.5'' and up, I believe this one was a 9.5'' and my trucks are some chunky indies, the wheels are soft almost like cruiser wheels and not quite as big as longboard wheels! I personally don't have preference over grip tape and I usually just get bones reds bearings! the best board though is the board you've got and what your comfortable with! I like the wider boards because in my mind there's more board to land on if I make little mistakes!

Practice anywhere you like! I will say that if the transition isn't steep enough though you may find it hard to keep your body in the bowl for the landing as the transition will want to spit you out onto the top deck if it doesn't get close enough to vertical at the top! Air tricks are much more difficult to learn compared to grinds in the bowl, but once you commit to landing a few times you'll really start to get the feel for it! Good luck!

Everyone gets that "what might happen when" feeling don't worry! The best way to overcome that in the bowl is to run up it on foot, run up the wall and just jump at the top to get your head above the coping and then turn and run back down to the bottom. This should get you comfortable with where the bowl is going to put you in the air. When your comfortable with it try on your skateboard, start by riding up and when your as high as you can get grab the board from under your feet and run down (important to either be holding the board or to throw it somewhere so you don't land on it on the way down). Honestly this trick isn't one that I just learned in a day (there was a day when I finally tried to land on the board again though), but a trick that I tried once or twice each time I went to the skatepark for a summer. After getting more comfortable in the air the day that I kept the board tucked under my feet and looked where I was going to land was the day I rode away from my first one. If you have a helmet, kneepads, and elbow pads it can also greatly increase your confidence when trying to land on the wheels for your first air! Good luck dawg, let me know if this advice helped you at all :)

And often falling isn't as bad as I ever think its going to be in my head, if you get back into the bowl and slide out you usually have lost lots of your speed by that point

@@JDawwgy dayyyum! Thanks for your time writing down all these tips! I will try it! And I know that some tricks need their time especially if fear is in the way and it blocks what your body might already be capable of. I will try running up the wall and jumping! And also the half an air part! Thanks again! Totally appreciate 🙏🏻💕

@@manmadeartists No worries dawg! Good luck, you'll get it for sure!

I'm riding a welcome board right now, its a 9.5 or 10 inch I'm not 100% sure! It takes a while to get used to huge boards like that but I mostly skate in bowls so the extra weigh on my kick flips doesn't bother me too much.

It aint my dawg! Come visit in the summer

If you feel more comfortable trying for your first time on a smaller ramp then give it a few tries! The bigger your comfortable going (more specifically the steeper your comfortable going) the easier it will be to land back in the bowl instead of on the top deck! Good luck landing your first one!! PS. This is the ramp that I learned frontside airs on and the section that I drop into (6ft deep) is much harder to do this trick on compared to the deeper (8ft deep) section that I show in the video. If you notice there's another even deeper section (10ft deep) of the bowl that I didn't do the trick in; your absolutely right ;p just going as big as your comfortable is always the best bet when learning new tricks!

I believe its a "welcome" board (not sure about the model), its somewhere from 9.0 - 10 and has a pretty cool shape!

I'm 81 subscriber & i wait next tutorials ;)

What tricks are you trying to learn! It's winter here now and the parks are full of snow but when its dry I'll defiantly get out there!

Once you get the hang of it it really helps keep your body "small" in the air which will translate to feeling more in control! Good luck my dawg

@@JDawwgy landed a clean one out in the surf this morning, just need to transfer that to the skateboard now.

@@damiencollins8124 Hell ya dude! I'm not the best surfer so I would say its easier on the skateboard haha. If you've got the feel for it you should have a much easier time than most!

Happy to help and thanks for the word of the day! Good luck out there my dawg!

exactly, on transition that's less than vert you should try to do more of an ollie motion to ensure when you land you'll be back inside the bowl not flying out onto the deck

You absolutely will! The day I learned that looking at the landing was what I needed to do was the first day I landed one! If you want to watch in slow motion check out my other videos on the channel! Good luck Dawg :)

No you do not! If you can get the grab after riding up the wall, all you have to do is keep the board tucked in and look where your trying to land! Good luck

@@JDawwgy thanks a lot mate. I’m gonna send it on Sunday 🤙🏽🤘🏽

I find my weight stays the same as when I'm nearing the top of the ramp! As for leaning your body, try not to think about it and do the 'turn your head' trick that I talk about! Your body almost always wants to follow the direction of your head, that was the thing I found most helpful when I was learning!

@@JDawwgy word thanks for taking the time fam big vibes 🔥

@@goatsauce8 Good lucky my dawg :)

Do you mean to learn frontside airs by doing an ollie?

@@JDawwgy yea, bc I can front 180 on flat I'll get it under coping, maybe over, then I'll throw in the grab! 👍

@@axelsb08 If that's what feels more comfortable then just keep practicing! Ollie frontside airs are way gnarlier though! Letting the wheels bonk is the easier way to do the trick by far because you dont have to worry about how far back you get on the ollie, instead you just try to keep your weight over the bowl and spot a landing

@@JDawwgy aight thx ik you don't really have to Ollie, you let the wheels bonk, and spot the landing. Thx for the tips!

just enough speed to get the back wheels to hit the coping to learn! once your more comfortable you can start charging and getting your airs way higher!

@@JDawwgy thanks bro....down at my park and going to get started. Post some more vids do one on fly outs and how to gain height as well as technique. no vids on you tube

ps can you do the vid with some more slow mom's from different angles.

@@JDawwgy didn't you hear the man? We need more slow moms

@@beemelonhead1 @camelo I hear you guys! More slowmoms coming in the future videos!

Whats up D2R, my all time favorite bowl trick is a bs smith, I could do that trick for days and its a good crowd pleaser! getting the hang of tructing your weight in the back truck with that trick is a great way to get more into 5-0s and tons of other cool tricks!

@@JDawwgy hahaha yeah man.. thats he bees knees.. but bro I just feel so old everything always hurts so I'm trying forget alot of the pain n stuff I feel. BECAUSE I LOVE SKATING!!! LOL !!! I own a salba and a Hosoi old skool board.. but I definitely hav alot of fun.. I just gotta remember I can't do all the Kool crap I see u all doin!!!

@@d2rdown2rock75 I fell you my dawg, it definitely gets harder when you start to get older! I've been sticking to the bowl mostly because its way lower impact on your body (not counting air tricks, but I only usually do those to show off or for the videos these days!)

silent but deadly

Lmao I do the same thing my guy! I spend way too much time watching trick tips on flat rails knowing full well that I never go near those when I'm at the park!

I've never landed one but as soon as it isn't winter here you know I'll learn it and make a video!

@@JDawwgy i have faith in you! Our winter is 90 degrees.

@@guybartlett9587 I had to google what that was in Celsius and was expecting it to be like 10 degrees but your out here bragging about your winter being hotter than our summer haha. Its usually like 14F here in the winter!

@@JDawwgy ouch! but you snowboard? The ocean is like a bath too.strained my MCL but back on it, surfed today and skating tomorrow.

I didn't! Ollie is scarier in my opinion because you don't have the same amount of control over your board. When you do the grab you can always pull it out and run down the landing but for an ollie its a bit trickier to ditch the board.

once you get the grab, if you can pull the board in tighter to your body (even like 15cm closer) you will have a much better feel for where you are in relation to the wall! One you can feel the pull in tight it allows you to extend your legs to the wall, much reducing the chances of hanging up. From experience you will fall out at the bottom MANY more times that your trucks get hung at the top! Good luck landing your first one!!

@@JDawwgy Thanks so much! I will try that
