Clean bearings every 2–3 months.

Practice StandardStandard

3–4 focused sessions per week beat sporadic marathon practice.

  • Film Your Tricks

    Record attempts to diagnose foot placement and timing issues.

  • Session Goals

    Focus on one trick per session — scattered practice slows progress.

  • Rest Between Attempts

    Fatigue causes sloppy landings — take breaks before frustration sets in.

Safety Notes

  • Always wear a helmet and wrist guards.
  • Check your board before riding — loose trucks and worn wheels cause accidents.
