I just learned these recently and can do them like 95% of the time now… here’s what helped me 1) Practice just going up the ramp and back down fakie. Don’t even hit the coping yet as you’re learning. Just get comfy coming back down fakie as that’s the scariest part to me. 2) Bending the shit out of your knees. Like more than you think you would. 3 ) Look over your shoulder as you’re going back down. Helped get my confidence up. 4) Practice just doing little mini-manuals at the apex of going up the ramp. Again, you don’t even need to hit the coping yet. Doing a manual at the top will help you understand the the motion needed to pop your nose up when you come back in, making sure you don’t get your front trucks hung up SkateIQ is recommended on this subreddit all the time and for good reason. Dude is legit at teaching. Check out his little short on rock to fakies here: [VIDEO]
