Skateboard Homework #1
Well done on completing your 1st skateboard lesson!!
Homework
You need to practice 3 things. 1. Knee slides 2. Foot position 3. Kick-turns & Tic-tacs.
Knee Slides
In the video below you can see some really good skaters. They do knee slides so they can fall over without hurting themselves and still get back up and win the competition....
2. Foot position
Get feet into correct position when pushing and getting onto board. You have to remember to turn your front foot forward when pushing and sideways when standing.
Are you goofy or regular?
3. Kick turns & Tic-tacs
Kick turn by lifting front of board up and doing circles (both ways - frontside and backside). Remember to keep shoulders level with the ground. Can you do 90 degrees or even 180 degrees in one go? Which way is easier backside or frontside?
Tic-tacs a frontside kick turn followed by a backside kick-turn (over and over and over again). Can you spot Rodney Mullen doing tic-tacs in the video below?
Hope you enjoyed the lesson 😃
