Just make sure your take-off is sideways not forwards.

Sorry to ask so many questions but I still don't understand what does the word fakie mean..

Thanks,

Hisham.

Well, in English, it's not a real word. It's a made-up word based off of the English word "Fake". This terminology came originally from the sport of aggressive skating. "Fake" meaning: to fake someone out -- make them think your going forward than all of a sudden, turn around. So "Fakie" came about and I borrowed that word from aggressive skating.

@hishamudai3 Fakie means to do a spin while going backwards.
