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.

Skateboard Tips

In skateboard tips we are going to have a look at one particular skill, and that is how to build speed and gain momentum on a skateboard ramp.
An important point for this, please wear your helmet for it as there is a danger of alling back and cracking your head if you judge it wrong.

So here goes with these skateboard tips.OK, so as you are looking down the ramp, you have your back wheels over the edge of the coping and your back foot balanced on the tail of your board. You need to have your body leaning forward but not too far forward that you are going to tip right over. Also,if you do not lean forward enough you are going to fall back and take a nasty crack to the back of the head.

Now put your front foot over the front bolts, and with your back foot on the tail you just drop into the skateboard ramp. You must have your front foot over the front bolts, as if you have your front foot further back you are likely to fall back when you drop down the ramp.

So start with your weight on the tail, and then with your front foot ease down so that the board drops down the ramp. Lean forward,but not too much, and bend your knees some to gain momentum on the ramp.

You may come to grief a few times until you get the hang of how far you are leaning so again I cant stress the importance of wearing your helmet on this one.
Keep practicing this until it becomes second nature to you, and then once you have confidence you can build up your speeds more and more. Hope these skateboard tips will help you.
