Snaking runs is dangerous — wait turn.

Practice StandardStandard

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

  • Flat Ground First

    Learn kickturns and manuals on flat before dropping into bowls.

  • Commit to Drops

    Hesitation on drop-ins causes falls — bend knees and lean forward on entry.

  • Scout the Line

    Walk the park line before riding — debris and cracks cause unexpected stops.

Safety Notes

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