Do the smaller stuff first like kickturns and pumping/carving, get them down really good and you will have building blocks for all transition. like how everyone tells the street skaters to just ride around the place before getting good at ollies and kickflips, you do the same for the transition, just ride up and down the quarterpipes and bowls before trying tricks on top and you will be blasting airs before you know it lololol Studying the oldschool stuff helps immensely as it is simpler and is what modern transition skating came from , this is so sick lol [VIDEO]
