Baeley Ellis - Rock to Fakie Skateboarding Trick Tip

You want to ride directly up to the top of the ramp, and lean forward toward the nose of your board. Your goal is to get the front trucks over the edge.

Now, a lot of skaters chicken out and just barely put their trucks over the edge, wait there a minuet, and then head down. Practice getting a real rock to fakie down - try and hit the coping with the middle of your deck, like a boardslide, and put your weight on our front foot so that you rock forward.

Now lean back again, shifting your weight to the tail. Pop the front trucks back over the edge, and with your weight on your back foot, let gravity pull you back down the ramp.
