Another student doing their practical assignment for their beginner grading 🙌
That`s a friendly little quarterpipe to learn on at @folkestone51
Analysis:
A cheeky right foot went down here to maintain balance. This demonstrated quick reactions, which is great 👍
Preferably this correction should have been made with a toe edge carve, to bring the centre of gravity back to the centre line of the board. In this case it would have been a struggle, because the front foot isn`t quite square enough. Remember the rhyme `toes and heels over the wheels`. 👟
How good is your carve? Invariably, as a learner, it can do with work. Practice your carve every time you go out. Buy some cones. Do a slalom. Adjust your trucks if need be 🛹
Lastly, keep your feet on the board. Even when you make mistakes or fall. Use your hands to stabilise. You should know what the board feels like under your feet when you do something wrong in order to learn what`s right. Make mistakes. It`s how we learn 🧑🎓
