Rock to Fakie - Ride Down Fakie

Baeley Ellis - Rock to Fakie Skateboarding Trick Tip

Turn and look down the ramp, and with your weight on your back foot, you want to ride back down in the fakie direction.

Riding fakie might feel awkward, but go for it. It's similar to riding switch, but your feet are in the wrong position.

You can, once you have ridden down the ramp a little, kickturn around and ride down the ramp regular, if you want to. Or, you can try doing something else - mix in another trick in there. That's totally OK. For the first times you try it, I recommend just riding down fakie, keeping your weight on that back (now riding in the front!) foot.
