Axle Stall

Turn and set both trucks on the coping…

Difficulty
Spicy
Can you do it?

The lowdown

Turn and set both trucks on the coping, hold it, then drop back in.

Fun fact

Every lip trick in a bowl is a variation on stopping on the coping and choosing how to come back.

Tips

Turn your shoulders early and put the back truck on first.

Why it isn't working4 common mistakes

  1. Pivoting too soon. Wait until the front truck is above the coping before you turn the hips.

  2. Front truck landing short. A weak pivot leaves the front truck below the coping, so commit the whole 90 degrees.

  3. Rushing the drop back in. Settle on both trucks for a breath, then press the tail and pivot in.

  4. Learning it frontside first. Backside is the natural way round; get that solid before you try the other.

Why it's Spicy: A drop-in starts still; here you arrive with speed, turn a quarter and land two trucks on a bar a few centimetres wide, then reverse it. The timing window is short.
