How To Do A Darkside Grind

Posted on Dec 14, 2010 under Trick Tips | No Comment

How To Do A Darkside Grind

To do a darkside grind set up in a kickflip stance. Like all grinds start heading towards what ever you are going to try it on, with an angle. When you think you are close enough to your rail, ledge, etc. you want to do a kick flip, but don’t kick it as hard as you would for a kickflip (you only want half of the rotation). At the same time sweep your back foot just a little bit behind you (you want your board to turn 90 degrees). You also want to turn your body 90 degrees. Once you see that you board has done half of a flip and rotated 90 degrres and you have turned 90 degrees, catch the board with your feet . Your front foot should land on the bottom side of your nose and your back foot should land on the bottom side of your tail. Land with the rail as close to the middle of the board as you can. When you reach the end of the rail twist your body 90 degrees, then tap the heel side edge of the nose with your toes to start fliping it. Once the board has rotated 90 degrees and flipped half way catch it with your feet and ride away.

How To Laser Flip

The laser flip is like a tre flip, but you do a heelflip instead of a kick flip. You set up your front foot like you would for a heelflip (just a little closer towards the nose), and your back foot like you would for a 360 pop shuv-it. As soon as you ollie sweep your front foot back like you would for a360 pop shuv-it, and hit the left part of your nose like you would for a heelflip (make sure you do this at the same time). Also while doing the heelflip part make sure you don’t hit the nose to hard, because you want more of a spin than a flip on your board. Once the board has done a 360 spin and has done one whole flip catch the board with your feet and ride away.

How to HardFlip

The hardflip is a kickflip and a frontside shuv it mixed together. The stance is almost the same as a kickflip, you just need to have your back heel hanging of the the tail a little bit. To hardflip you want to kickflip and do a frontside shuv it at the same time (the frontside shuv it is the same as a normal pop shuv it, but in stead of sweeping your back foot behind you, you want to sweep it in front of you). You just want the board to do a 180 degree spin. Once the board has done its 180 degree spin and has flipped on time catch the board with your feet, and ride away.

Posted on Dec 13, 2010 under Trick Tips | No Comment

How To Tre Flip

To do a tre flip (360 flip) put your front foot like you would for a kickflip and put your back foot on your tail, right where the board starts to incline. Make sure your toes on your back foot are hanging of the board. Then you want to scoop the board with your back foot (like you would for a 360 pop shuv it), and with your front foot give the board a light tap like you would for a kickflip (but lighter). You want more of a spin on your board rather than a flip. Then when you see the board come around you want to stop it with your front foot, then just put your back foot on, and ride away.
