Propelling yourself with turns (“pumping,” “power-turning,” or “gyrating”) is an extremely subtle technique, based on very precise, balanced, and rhythmical weight shifts. Beginners often overlook the skill involved because it seems almost effortless when done well. Yet power-turning is one of the most difficult techniques you can learn on a skateboard. It’s also one of the best teachers of true style, and probably the finest example of using a skateboard to “skate” in the purest sense of the term — to glide powerfully.
