Master ollie before kickflip.

Practice StandardStandard

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

  • Shoulder Position

    Keep shoulders parallel to the board — open shoulders cause hand-drag falls.

  • Look Down the Line

    Look where you want to go on ramps — your body follows your eyes.

  • Start Small Transitions

    Practice on mellow quarter pipes before vertical walls.

Safety Notes

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