How to do an Air on a Skateboard

[Mad1dowg]

itd be easier to tap and roll down ... while ur learininngng

[jamiemoz07]

WTF air really?? this is an early grab which is a cop out of actually ollying

[gibs9105343]

would this work if i did i a bit lower instead of going over the lip ???

[gibs9105343]

think if i try this i would end up on my face i would shit myself n the way back dwn or not be able to do the grab thing :OO

[freerunmessing]

go to 1:57 ha ha ha monkey see dat caaaammm...

[seawomangirl]

thanks! now i might be able to do one for the first time!!!!!!!!!!!

[freddytherubberducky]

So do you do a little ollie? And is frontside or backside easier?

[deChekkaa]

@freddytherubberducky Backside is easier. I can do both. My highest backside was 1 meter above coping and my highest frontside was not even 0.5 meter above coping, so you see backside is easier for me. But I do early grab like the guy in the video.

[etipp283]

wow that was one of the best trick tip vids ive seen

[dylanthevillain55]

broke my arm accidentally getting air :( if i knew i was going fast enough i would've done an indy

[TheThreeNuggets]

he wears kneepads but not a helmet.. hmmm

[YoungAus91]

@TheThreeNuggets i ride vert and thats what i do. kneepad is the most important when riding transition.

[FredrickVonDinkles]

@TheThreeNuggets You wear kneepads so you have the ability to bail if you mess up. You'll notice that whenever a vert skater falls, they always slide on their knees.

[FredrickVonDinkles]

My ad was a dude riding a hoverboard and there was no brand or link or anything..

[DanyelOliveira105]

The secret is at 1:35

[calvinandhobbeseater]

you don't have to pop or nothing?

[SteezyOtis]

that doesnt even count are you kidding me? you can't early grab an air, thats what 5 yr olds do. Your suppose to snap, ollie and grap when you peak in the air. your shits weak

[frankandearl]

HEY U WERE MY INSTRUCTOR AT WOODWARD LAST YEAR WEEK 11... brian, right?

[dizimz]

did anyone else get that crappy ass mormon ad at the beginning of this?

Nothing against the Mormons, But jesus thats a funny add.

They make it look like its a College Lol. "Im a surfer, a wife and a long board champ. Im a mormon" WTF does being mormon have to do with any of that?

[L2Kickflip]

@dizimz hey im mormon XD

[Awix]

Perfect for shitty air... don't catch before.

[mariam100ful]

[turdspankermcgee]

[Skate1Boarder1Chaz]

[Zackg119]

PAUSE, THEN PUSH 1 AND HOLD IT AND HIT PLAY

[ccsoffthewall]

Wayy better than expert village

[fishoutofwater123123]

@99hobbe yea i guess that pretty decent

[saughtonsk8ing4ever]

i am ten and this has tot me in three weeks

[tedhallgren1337]

pause. then click play and then hold the button 7

[Zackg119]

@tedhallgren1337 LOL I don't fly, I don't fly, I don't fly

[JRmovielines]

is indy grab the easiest to start with?

please reply

[skate4life0123456]

@JRmovielines an early indy grab is prob the easyest

[SkaterRitto]

fucking early grab, when you make only an air, you can do an ollie to fakie, you must only feel the momentum to jump, with enough speed and the right ollie, you make an air =D

[JGrocks18]

this guy taught me how to do airs on a mini. Now im doing them 3 to 4ft high on a 10ft vert ramp

[yutubemast]

@JGrocks18 sick bro

[bmxtombmxmatt]

why do 5 people dislike???? rems

[777JAHMAN]

do u hav 2 d0 an early grab

[ktex47]

finally someone good and not from expert village good job!

[Lostfins]

your just doing a fucking early grab...

[SlickRick4EVER]

@Lostfins

it's still an air, f*cktard.

[Lostfins]

@SlickRick4EVER That's like winning the special Olympics even in you win your still retarded... It's kind of like this trick tip... Your right your in the air, but if anyone ever saw you do this seriously they would think your a total fag

[SlickRick4EVER]

@Lostfins .... just like this bullshit comment you just made....

[Lostfins]

@SlickRick4EVER Your a fucking loser. I hate kids that just talk big on skateboarding forums where 99 percent of the time they are a loser 13 year old that has stepped on a skateboard a handful of times.

[grimcity]

Indy isn't a grab, it's a type of air... backside air/fs grab. When you do them frontside, they're just frontside.

[Intotheorchard]

@grimcity Indy is a grab.

[grimcity]

@Intotheorchard

No, it's an air. It's a backside air with a frontside grab. There is no such thing as a frontside indy.

[hellrider696ee]

[TheOriginalSkate]

Am i supposed to ollie? Or just fly up in the air on my own? I don't get it. Someone help! x(

[aerozoon]

@TheOriginalSkate u can do both! u can olli into ur airs like tony hawk or u can do airs with enaugh speed . if there are wrong words i'm sorry i'm german so i cant speak very good

[SlickRick4EVER]

@TheOriginalSkate ... listen to the video.... AGAIN......

[skaterdude1753]

this helped me out

[dbspaceoditty]

well, these scare the crap out of me. i dont know why. i know on mini ramps they are freaky, but i was on the 12 at the park one day lets say...to much rhythm too much momentum and i aired like a foot out of the ramp landed then when i came too the coping on the other side i just flew over it on purpose cause i didnt feel like going any higher. lol

[TheDogchaser]

monkeysee kicks expertvillage in the ass

[trolden9520]

@TheDogchaser Almost everything does? :P ExpertVillage aren't experts at anything! They're just average :S

[hunoli100]

do u have to do ollie?

[maxiedaxieruler]

@hunoli100 nope

[MrSageTv]

mmm frappichino

[DeathandBlack666]

Thats an early grab air... I can air but I only can get them about 2ft high and I can't seem to grab the board in that time can someone can help me please

[lemonite1]

@DeathandBlack666 learn kickturns on vert.so that you have enough natural speed that you are coasting up to the coping, not throwing your weight up and pumping too hard. Now learn to kickturn and grab your board at the same time again, don't try and throw your weight up the transition, relax,trust the speed,and keep your body in the ramp.Next,unweight at the top as you kickturn your board into your hand,timing and speed will lift you off, not effort.The rest will be self explanatory.

[bestbowlskater6]

@99hobbe you must not be too hard to grab your board or you bails

[bestbowlskater6]

xD its a early grab but good guide :P

[pspgameralltheway]

wen i try to kickflip the board always flys to far forward but spins perfect.help plz!

[hamzahabib10]

[darkblood63]

[langlois35]

fuck your early grabs

[DanReborn]

well do a video and show us how to ollie out then expert!

[Yesitdid]

pump hard and then when you approach the lip. yank your board up. yes it will help you if u do a grab. if you dont do a grab it will be much harder to land. stick to grabs

[sonyappleipod98]

do u have to ollie when u do that?
