frontside air tricktip vert

[armaduh]

Backside airs on vert are easier. I learned frontside airs yesterday. I can get the pop and some air but im still not comfortable enough to go fast enough into it to go over the coping.. (its an 9ft vert bowl). ill give it a few days... ~chick skater~

[jizzy2k]

@penderag0n u right

[deyomash]

i can make huge ass bs and fakie airs melon grab, but i dont manage to maek a ollie to get them real high..

[jizzy2k]

@ernestrebel street you eat concrete

Vert you slide down a big yellow slide

[MartySkies]

@jizzy2k Have you actually skated a vert ramp? because falling to flat from 15+ feet in the air is not comfortable.

[PeNdErAg0n]

@jizzy2k

even if the fall might often be less painfull in vert since you just slide down (if the pipe is slippery enough) it still takes more balls, the proof: go to a skatepark, then go to the street section, count how many skaters, usually 50 or so if it's not an enormous skatepark, then go to the vert section, now count the riders actually dropping in and riding the vert, mabey 3-4 riders, 6 tops, vert is SCARY!

[mazonemayu]

I always do this with my front hand, I guess thats bad then...

[ernestrebel]

It takes way bigger balls to go vert than flat! Falling from an Ollie on the sidewalk sucks, falling from 25 feet up in the air breaks yer legs. I know. It's in the blood!

The best way to learn this is like they said, during kickturns just grab the board, lift and lead, after a few try's you'll get off the wall. then go higher and do the same. Copeing helps for pop off effect. The hardest thing Is when you get some good air and you have to bail, ya gotta run it out and its bloody hard to do un

[skyrunner95]

i think that those videos are good way to reborn the vertskate

[henkinouno]

The problem with most pros explaining tricks is that they don't know how the trick is actually done..they got so much talent that they just do the trick, hence the trick tips are usually pretty bad. What you have to think of when doing a frontside air: 1. start by doing early grabs while leaning a bit more over your front leg. 2. Ollie (on vert) up, not out, and only pull your legs in. 3. pull in your rear leg, when you start learning you have to do this with more effort than you think.

[SkullLikeASecret]

@henkinouno Yes, excellent advice. You have to pull your legs in toward your body, not many people mention that.

[HLGCapnCrunch]

yes but you should ollie into it if u take it to the mini pipe. try to get fs ollies down if u dont already.

[RVCAXD]

i can do fs airs but i cant tuckknee or nosebone.. ive been trying so hard for the longest time and i still cant get em like at 0:42

[victorpalles]

@RVCAXD ITS BUCKY LASEK WHAT YOU WANT?? XD



[RVCAXD]

@victorpalles i skated with him at venice, hes rlly good without pads on too

[tuksedoken]

hey can you also do this on a minipipe?

[robinett11]

@tuksedoken yeah you could but theres not vert on mini ramps so it's kinda a ollie grab so idk

[robinett11]

it takes alot of balls to do what vert skaters do respect

[Joshalots]

wow I landed it my first try

[p3rsseus]

Yes!! Did my first one today : )!!! Never felt so freaking cool!

[kskate91]

Nice, nice I haven't tried yet but I may try to add my collection of vert/tranny tricks.

[newerawearer]

thanks, you guys are my favourite modern skaters!

[circask8er002]

@newerawearer hahaha they arent "modern skaters"



[newerawearer]

@circask8er002

in contrast to old school, duh

[welldonechar]

@newerawearer wtf?

[stork7990]

Heak ya on vert it's hard to hang up wen u do thogh It hurts

[JHizouse]

These guys have nothing on expertvillage skaters, 'cause well, they're experts and all.

[Sk8rbro500]

dude i just dont get it! every time i do an air my back truck gets hung up on the coping! does doing it on a vert ramp instead of a mini ramp make a difference???

[jaredmstein]

@Sk8rbro500 Tuck those knees, boy! Grab that board and PULL!

[JonathanReichert]

Fun!

[backstreetrascal]

nice

[321friday]

i tried that halfway up a quarter pipe and ended up doing a backflip am i doing something rong

[seekthetruth6006]

scary ass trick dude... especially on vert

[sonyappleipod98]

do you have to ollie when you do this or do you just kinda pop the tail and get air plz message back!

thank you!

[SamMcGuckin]

@sonyappleipod98 ey dude. this is how i learned them. if you can do a frontside 180 olie at the bottom of a mini ramp, do it at the top and it will be a frontside air. then go to a VERT ramp and you still olie but its alot later olie than a mini ramp. after that, just start reaching you arm down and grabing it. i fount tuck knee to be the easest.

[zazspaz666]

great video!

[skater1098]

Nicely explained thank you.

[Shuvoverfatty]

Almost got it! thank you bucky lasek!!

[RestlessSkater]

Are u supposed to pop ?

[SlickRick4EVER]

@RestlessSkater: If it is a vertical half pipe, you just pick up your tail and just "bonk" with your back wheels. You can also ollie (pop the tail) but the catch is that you're not supose to slide up the tail with your front foot; just keep it right on top of the front bolts.

[gforce972]

what the name of the beginning of the song in the intro?

[JGrocks18]

i keep trying but i cant when i yank out it goes under my feet and i cant get into the air

[straightkickinitmain]

we sneak into the skate park at 2 am. I keep trying to do fs airs on my longboard but so far they've never turned out too well. I can get em on my regular board though.

[liger974]

thanx man it helped me alot

[tjtheplay]

it's real easy but kinda scary for me cause I don't wanna overturn

[doctorpapesch]

laddd

[neverwasapunk16]

I landed my first frontside air yesterday.

:) it took me a week to get compfortable with the motion but then i finnaly stuck it

yeeeyuhh

[mrretard155]

congrats

[allanispro]

skills!

[maartenskateboarder]

nice !!

gongratulations

[JonJon57643]

dude you dont have to even ollie

[radge6]

i can do them on a 5ft vert ramp (1ft of vert lol) but i can't grab it yet

[ssa1961]

Im trying to do 1 on a mini ramp but everytime o go up my board flys away before i grab it and i just wat shit then

[sportstaredrebel]

grab it first

[thenameisjimbob]

on mini ramp trying popping hard before grabbing, get a good ollie going. its only when it gets more vertical you need to stop popping so much :)

[Chchchaz]

thanks :)

[thenameisjimbob]

no they aren't at all, thats where i learned them before taking them to vert and it totally helped, it would have taken me so much longer to learn them on vert cause once i'd learned fs ollies and fs indys on mini i could work my way up the ramps.

so no, its not gay at all

[d3u1c8k2]

so you think early grab fs airs on a 3ft mini ramp are "cool"?

gay as aids.

[thenameisjimbob]

when did i say anything about early grab?! :L

early grab no, definately agree with you that early grabs aren't nice haha

and 3 foot is a pretty bad place to learn, i'm more on about like 5 foot, doing ollies into the grab. pretty much how i learnt them, fs ollies first then grabbed later, then worked them up to midi and then vert, thats basically what i was saying :)

[ShirmyJay]

no but a 6 foot mini its cool, just wat tom penny or dave bachinski videos thell sho you how small transition airs are dope.

[element9624]

they look gay but it might feel sick

[votejello]

I bet you couldn't drop in on a mini ramp.

[skater1098]

$v4L Which means skate vert 4 life.Yeah

[whooperpooper86]

nerd

[skater1098]

Dude im sponsored by a skate shop and a clothing company and Ive taken more chances in skateboarding than you have.Ho and vert is more popular in my hometown.

[whooperpooper86]

vert is cool but ur "$v4L" is just gay...

[skater1098]

I didn't make that saying on my own a guy named David McKay a amateur vert skater made that up.I got it from him.

[whooperpooper86]

just saying...thats its not cool

[XxBamLuvrxX]

i love vert and bucky lol

thnx for posting the trick tips

[rboy5boy]

thanks for putting this on it is really hard to find vert trick tip because people are to scared to learn them

[wowskater99]
