The lowdown

The foundation under every trick. Crouch, explode upward and pull the bars to your hips so both wheels leave the ground at once. Land it clean and the whole sport opens up.

Fun fact

Almost every other trick. 180s, bar spins, grinds. Starts from a solid hop. Nail this before anything else.

Tips

Practice popping over a crack or a stick on flat ground first. Pull up, don't just jump. The bars do the lifting.

Why it isn't working4 common mistakes

  1. Pulling with your arms only. Bend your knees deep and jump with your legs; the bars come up because you did.

  2. Jumping forward instead of up. Push straight down and spring straight up so both wheels leave together.

  3. Feet leaving the deck late. Lift your feet at the same moment you pull, so the deck stays under you.

  4. Landing with straight legs. Soften your knees as the wheels touch so the landing stays quiet and you keep rolling.

Why it's Rookie: It is the first trick, so nothing comes before it. What makes it a trick at all is timing: legs, arms and feet have to fire together or one wheel stays down.
