HOW TO ROCK TO FAKIE (Beginner Tips to Learning) 

My friend showed me how to BS salad stall, I want to start working on back side disasters next.

BS disasters coming up 👌🏼

Thanks man! Any tricks in particular you want to learn?

Thanks for watching man! The skatepark in Currans hill or Waterloo skatepark have perfect small little quarter pipes to learn on if they are anywhere near your area?

@@LeonPaxton awesome thanks dude. I’m in Ashfield so Waterloo isn’t to far away. Currans I’ll check it out l8tr sk8tr :)

Thank you 🙏🏽

The weight stays on your back leg but you lift your front leg on the way up into the stall and then again to lift your wheels back over and into the ramp

@@LeonPaxton Thanks, but I was wondering about the actual rocking part, where both wheels are in the air and the board is balancing on the coping. How do you get into that position?,,Just like you do several times in the first seconds of this video.

Oh sorry! Yes once you lift up into the 'rock' position your momentum will lead you forward to the point where your back wheels come off of the ramp and you shift more of the weight on your front foot but it's only for a split second before putting the weight back down on your back foot so you can lift your front wheels back over and into the ramp. Hopefully that makes sense lol

@@LeonPaxton Ok, so it's almost like you're "braking" when you straighten out your front leg to put the front wheels down. But your body and your board wants to continue to move forward, so you have to absorb that motion somehow. I think you do that by lifting/bending the back leg, which will make the back wheels come up into the air. If that's how it works, it actually makes sense. I re-watched the beginning of your video frame by frame and it definitely looks like your lifting/bending your back leg after/while you straighten out your front leg. Thanks again for helping me understand :)

Thanks heaps dude! 🙏🏼

You're basically rolling back down the quarter pipe fakie as if you would just rolling up and coming back down (without the rock the fakie) The only difference is you're putting more pressure & weight on your back foot as you're coming out of the rock to fakie to get your front wheels back over the coping and into the ramp. You don'y need to emphasise this movement too much though and your weight will still be centred across your board just with that little bit more pressure on the back foot. Hopefully that makes sense lol

Haha all good man, I got you 😉 Any trick suggestions you'd want to learn?

Yeah that's weird man, it usually takes people a long time to learn crooked grinds on a ledge but you've done it the other way around lol Still sick though!

St. Helen's Park skatepark in Western Sydney dude

That's alright man, just keep practicing and getting your confidence up then you'll be able to hit bigger quarters in no time 🙌🏼

@@LeonPaxton thanks bruv, I wouldn't mind seeing a review of Cherrybrook as well please.

@@mattdestroyed Sweet, I'll add that to the list as well 👍🏽
