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...

I.E. "Briannes wood is bigger!" or "I cant believe im riding K-Rimes/Brianne" or similar. What are we, mature?!
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?

I think a lot of stinkbug grabs come from surfing, because since surfboards are wider, you can easily grab the center of the board and still tuck your knee (pigdogging, indy grabs airs), unfortunately, it doesn't translate well to narrow boards.
Anyways, I was wondering if you could do a tutorial for axle stalls. I can do short 50-50 grinds, but I can never completely stall on the coping
