All right let us get this party started. To get going, get you up in the air, get you some pop. Start on flat ground you know get used to the coffin. Get used on ollieing. Just down slopes. Start pushing it a little hit and tat tracks now then you can move over to the spraying part and find your self a table top.
That one is usually small to big table tops and different types of kickers in the park trail to be a perfect place to learn. And I mean start off small you know. The biggest thing was start to hit a small kicker; it is always good to ride by it once. Check out the landing because sometimes you do not know what is on the back side if it is rated out or some bumps. You are looking for something smooth, something that is going to be friendly.

Beating pretty much the most important thing when hitting a kicker because you what is called the lip which is what you take off of then there is the knuckle which is the top of the landing and you want to land in the landing.
Exactly you do not want to do, have anything to do with the knuckle because it hurts. Observe other people riding the park. Usually there is some people out there slamming. See where they are starting from to hit the jump it might, and watch what they are doing. It will help you out so much with the speed because it is hard to figure out speed sometimes.
Alright, once you leave the lift you are going to be in the air. What are you doing there? That is always the question. The first thing you do not want to do is play around like a monkey swinging from trees. I would say the easiest way to keep yourself compacted and in control in the air is to grab your board.
This is your peaceful moment. This is your Zen Blend if you will, you know it is a pause it is not really fighting gravity. Anyway, from that blissful moment now we are going to get to landing which is a little bit more violent. That is why we want to be prepared for it.
Talk about landings, you are already in the air, you are grabbing your board, you are releasing the grab. You are extending your legs or try to match your board to the landing from the transition. So you let go of the grab, you are coming down you spot your landing with your eyes, spot the landing it is the only way you are going to land.
Extend your legs; put the board down like an airplane real smooth. Just get in down the landing. To set it down bend your knees, absorb it, accept it. Accept it and ride away clean, and waving at your buddies.
