"How Do I Land Tricks?!"
Friday August 24, 2007
I get a lot of e-mails lately from skaters trying to land tricks, like the kickflip, and being frustrated with how long it's taking to learn the trick. One I got today is from a skater named Mitch:
"I still cant seem to land a kickflip... It's weird. When ever i seem to get a good flip, i cant land it. It stays under me but doesn't get the rotation or something happens." (Thanks Mitch)Maybe you've had the same trouble with learning to kickflip, or you have some other trick that's giving you a hard time. If so, I've written up a new addition to the Skateboarding FAQ - How do I Land Tricks? I hope it helps you out.
And, if you haven't ever checked out the Skateboarding FAQ, you should. It's hard to arrange something like that - just a list of questions that I seem to get a lot! But, hopefully you'll find one there that matches what you need. If not, feel free to e-mail me, or stop by the Skateboarding Forum and ask the guys there. We're all here, and most of us are happy to help!
