Here`s some board control & stabilisation techniques we were drilling today at #skatecamp
1. Carve the cones. Basic control techniques. Switching from toe to heel edges
2. Touch the cones. This drill is to get us used to using our hands on the floor to stabilise while moving
3. Touch the cones whilst carving. This combines the last two drills. An advanced carving technique. Touching the cone behind you as you pass is tricky.
4. Tik tak around the cones. Great for practicing our kick turn technique.
Carving is an overlooked skill. Most learners could spend much more time on this fundamental skill. Recovery from a poorly executed trick is much more likely if you up your carve game.
Difficulty carving can reveal poor foot positioning.
Check your trucks are adjusted correctly for your body size & shape by carving cones. Move them closer together.
