Re: So you wanna FS Air huh?
id have to say the ollie pop really adds the steeze if your on a mini normally i wont even try in a deep bowl to ollie out but on a shallow mini im all about snapping out an ollie
sorry for the no grab in this pic but its most definitely me lofting a frontside ollie
also if your trying to get a sexy tuck knee try grabbing around your back truck. i used to grab stinkbug style forever and when i switched to trying tuck knees i just found it easier to grab closer to the back truck and eventually you'll just get used to going around the knee to get to the middle of the board
^^ nice fs ollie, i guess you could call the FS ollie my "go to trick" just something i trho into my lines WAY to much, i need to get better fs airs though, actually i CANT grab stink or in the middle, i always tuck for some reason, but i guess thats good?
OH MY CRAP! i just did my first FS AIR!
ok, ill set the seen
after practicing some downhill then some sliding, i came home to practice some ditch sort of stuff. all the while ominous clouds loomed over head, waiting to pore there gallons of water on me and my ride.
i turned on the drive way light, just as the rain began to trickle and knew i had not long to go...
my drive way is pretty much the ultimate for skaters: steep and smooth. its pretty much a giant banking slab of concrete that gets steeper as you get higher, but not quite a quarter pipe.
i had never attempted a FS air before, but thought that i should give it a go just for shits n giggles. my first few attempts ended with me running back down the slope, so i decided to just do indy turns (or what ever they are called) for a bit.
i then tried kicking the tail and pulling up at the highest point and i sawed gloriously into the air (2-3 inches maybe) then landed with my back wheels sliding... just as the rain turned to a storm.
so yeah, there is my mad sick dramatized version f the events that occurred for me this afternoon...

Sup peeps, i ride a dervish in the skatepark so i am without a tail. Tails are nice, but the dervish is just awesome for parks and pools.
I need some help in doing a FS Air WITHOUT the tail. Ive seen it done by the Great Louis Pilloni, but i havent ever learned how to do it myself. I can jump out and get big air just fine, i just cant go up, out, around and down without eating the most heinous of nutty-brown poo.
Can anyone give me some advice?
