After pushing a board aroud for a bit I wasn’t going to let the kids get the better of me so I have been practicing my ollies and shove it’s.
I normally ride with my right foot farwards and and been trying the shove it’s using my left foot to scoop and not really getting anywhere but switched to my right food and it feels so much more comfortable. Is this normal and is it going to kill when I start rolling and trying it?
Defo right foot farwards, I have done quite a lot of kite boarded years ago, so I get the stance and rolling OK, and I’m quite confident at rolling it to a power sliding 180 and keep going.
Do you know I hadn’t thought about rolling into it backwards, but I think I might be happier rolling into it nose first. I think I need a helmet before trying this, I’m getting ahead of myself self anyway not landing more than 3 in 10 standing still…
Stumbled across it looking for some advice on a board, as I was going to get a long board. I was advised against it on here and the shop I got the girls boards from. So now I’m trying to bloody kill myself and I fully blame this forum…
Ha ha.
Amazing.
Just rest assured that a) you won’t be the oldest person on here and b) most of us will have ruined ourselves doing a shove it of some variety at some point too.
Maybe loosen your trucks a bit?
I always have the front one looser than the back one. See if that makes you feel more comfortable as there will be more give when you land
