Skateboard Ramp Tricks

In skateboard ramp tricks we are gonna look at the blunt to fakie trick. This may not mean a lot to you at this precise moment, but stick with me kid and I will fill in all the gaps for you.

The blunt to fakie skateboard ramp trick is when you go up the ramp until both your back wheels come over the rim of the ramp. It looks like you are going to come right over and off the ramp as you have hit the top of the ramp straight on with your skateboard, but instead you are going to come back down.

With this trick you need to have the ball of your back foot in the middle of the boards tail as your back wheels go over the top of the ramp, and you need to push forward on your front foot near the front of the board. This will give you some momentum and you can push back in with the ball of your foot on the tail, and so this will enable you to pop back in.

You give it a kind of bounce at the top of the ramp as you are just going to go right over the ramp, and that push back on the tail with your back foot helps you pop up so you can slide backwards down the ramp.

You have to make sure you hit the top of the ramp with your wheels straight upwards, otherwise this will not work and you will probably come to grief and fall.
You need quite a bit of momentum for this trick to succeed as both front and back wheels have to make themselves clear of the top of the ramp.
