Definitely work out slappy noseslides. They’re fairly easy to get into and get sliding - I’ve had more trouble getting out of the slide - start dead on with a stall then move the angle slowly more parallel. The crook is much less of an angle for sure but you also kind of shunt the nose into the curb and unweight your heels to let the wheel pop up and lock in. Hard to explain I know,this video does it better: [VIDEO] Getting into the crook happened a few times fairly easy but there’s a bit of a knack. I also found myself ending up in the crook by accident when practicing the noseslide. Kinda made me realise I could do em. Not sure if I’ve explained this well. Hope it helps feels free to ask more Q’s!
