  • Hello.

    It is easier to pump than explain how to pump.

    Exactly. You go a little forward, then swing your body trying to push the front foot to the left, then the back foot to the left, then the front foot to the right and then the back foot to the right. Do always the same and you'll move forward faster and faster.

    Good luck, best regards.

  • @Flaininger How loose do you need your trucks to be?

  • @AlexDiscoBall Hello. The trucks must be very loose. Notice that in this types of skates (longboards), trucks are often looser than in shorter skates.

    Good luck and enjoy it!

  • Certainly, pumping a longboard is not difficult.

  • I know, it seems like carving, but is pumping. You can carve down, but not up like pumping. When pumping we can push the skate forward with the movement of the body, not only turning. Good luck.

  • @RayWillJohnson Many people thanked me able to know in just 34 seconds what is really pumping. Among many people, there is the possibility that someone like you do not like. Doesn't matter. Have a nice day.

  • you have same longboard  as me can you still slid with thoso kind og longboards if so can you make video plz

  • esto es en las chumberas, en tenerife no? :)

  • @HbMetalBlast i pump fine on my apex 37, the only problem i could see is not getting any flex out of the board if your too light

  • how i learned to pump sing your hips in a circular motion until you feel your self start to leen then swing them back and repeat

  • @HbMetalBlast obviously you dont know how to turn then

  • And original trucks have a little metal price in them that when you do alot of carving it will bust out and they will be broken.

  • love the song

  • @densetsuninjaclan I pump just fine with my original s8's....and i occasionally bomb on them....wobbles are seriously 10% setup and 90% rider.

  • @hbmetalblast the reason your having trouble is because your apex has original trucks. Original trucks are shit. They have a

    "spring loaded" system meaning there's springs instead of bushings. They turn waay too much which is why they aren't goood for sharp pumping. Also, original trucks get the worst speed wobble

  • @Flaininger Okey this might seem like the dumbest question even but I have an apex 37 and when i try to turn little it does a massive turn. Can I pump fine with apex 37?
