Default How to go from street to sidewalk over a curb?

I was wondering if there was a more fluid way to get from the street to the sidewalk without hopping off the board grabbing it and hopping back on on the sidewalk..

i feel like a 3 yr old..

any tips?

Pretty smooth. I'd probably practice the boneless though. It's a good trick to get over lots of stuff, even though you can roll over most things on a longboard.

on longer boards, i like to boneless or bean plant up curbs and small ledges. you could always do a longboard ollie where you just pop up the nose and let the back truck float over the curb.

I either boneless or just pop the tail while hopping off the board so you can catch it, then jump up the curb and land on the board. Its kind of like a boneless but you don't reach down to get the board, you just pop the board up to you. I don't know what its called but its one of my favorites.
