This is a hard trick to explain without footage, which sadly i don't have.
Beanplant to Fakies are a fun trick to learn on transfer, and helps improve your variation. Beanplant to Fakies are not to be confused with flatground Beanplants, where the rider grabs the nose, plants their foot on the ground and jumps, creating a Boneless styled trick.
WHAT IT SHOULD LOOK LIKE:
The rider approaches the coping. His/Her front foot is off the board and about to step onto the coping. His/Her front hand (right for goofys, left for regulars) grabs the nose of the board as his/her front foot reaches the coping and steps up, out of the pipe, balancing on the coping. His/Her back foot is still on the back trucks and his/her hand is still holding the nose.
The rider holds the trick for X amount of seconds, and then cavemans back into the tranny, in the same position as the trick.
HOW TO DO IT:
1. Roll/Drop into the tranny/bank.
2. When the nose of your board comes within a few inches of the coping crouch down.
3. When your nose is about an inch from the coping take your front foot off and simultainiusly grab the nose of your board. At this point, you should slightly lean foreward. (Leaning foreward is especially important when you're on steep or vert trannys, because you may find your board flying out infront of you and smashing your head against concrete)
4. Reach your front foot to the coping and rest it in the middle of the coping. (if it is easy to balance, you're not doing it right) Bring the hand holding the board up with it and make sure that your back foot stays on the bolts all the way through this trick.
5. You now are in the peak of the trick. You can balance it for as long as you like.
6. This is the most difficult part of the trick, cavemanning back down to fakie. Launch your front foot of the coping, while bringing your board parellel to the steepness of the tranny that you are skating. Put the foot that used to be on the coping on the board LAST because you need a proper centre of gravity to roll down properly.
7. Roll down the tranny fakie, looking like a pro.
To help, i have recorded a beanplant to fakie on a bank. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fC0Vz8Sp58
NOTE: You can choose how long to balance this trick for, but it looks better when you stay on coping for as little time as possible.
I hope you enjoyed/learnt something.
