Wallride
|
|
1. first you got to learn how to ollie, an' you got to be able to do it at least like two feet high or so. 2. ride towards a wall at about a 45 degree angle with your body facing it. that means that the front of your body is facing the wall. get it? 3. get ready to ollie at the wall, and keep your eyes on the spot where you want to wall ride at all times. 4.ollie up, but don't level out. instead bring your back foot up in line with your front foot while pushing it towards the wall. while you do all this push your heels forwards and your toes back. 5. the board should now be more or less parallel to the ground. "snap" your toes forward which will put the board up against the wall. when you are actually riding the wall, you only want to have the balls of your feet on the board. otherwise it'll be too hard to stay upright. you only want to ride the wall for like a second or two. 6. now there are two ways to get off. actually, both are the same way, except in one you grab the board and in the other you don't. I can only do it with grabbing the board, so that's the only way I'm going to tell you. 6. (cont.) bend your legs a little if they're not already bent, and grab the center of the front side of the board, like an Indy grab. pop the tail and jump away from the wall. level out the board with your hand by pulling your wrist inward (it's not that hard), and keep your feet flat against the deck. 7. extend your legs a little to absorb the impact, and ride off. actually, the first few times I guarantee you'll fall on your ass because you'll be off balance and loop out. but that's all good, cause' you'll get it eventually. here's a couple hints: *this whole trick only takes about 1.5 seconds to do. don't try to actually ride the wall. *when you get off the wall, don't worry about leveling out the board. I made it sound more complicated than it really is. *a pussy way to learn (that I used) is to find a wall with grass near it, and put a sheet of plywood leading up to it. that way you can practice the trick and not have to worry about falling backwards onto concrete or anything else that would hurt like a bitch.
