Fakie on a Ramp

You ride up the ramp forwards and come back down it backwards without turning, then ride up backwards and come down forwards. It is how you link tricks on a mini ramp.

1. Pump

   Pump up the wall forwards until you slow near the top.

2. Come down

   Let the ramp roll you back down backwards without turning.

   CueNo turn, just roll

3. Stagger

   Set one skate a little ahead of the other.

4. Look

   Turn your head to watch the far wall coming.

5. Repeat

   Ride up backwards, come down forwards, and keep the rhythm.

1. IfSkates side by side going backwards.
   ThenStagger your skates a little; it gives you a longer base front to back.
2. IfNot looking where you are going.
   ThenTurn your head over your shoulder to watch the ramp behind you.
3. IfSitting back on your heels.
   ThenKeep your hips over your skates through the curve.
