I would just like some pointers on getting out of wallies. I can get in and when I'm coming out I lose control of the board. And front tail 270's. I can do front tails and front tail fakies without a problem but front tail 270's are the only reason I tried learning front tails in the first place. However, I can never get them. Any pointers?
oh, man, I just learned this the other day!
1. It's been a monkey on my back forever. Since you've already got tailslides pretty well, practice actually putting a little pop out into your fs tails to fakie, this is pretty essential, especially if the ledge you're doing them on doesn't come to an end.
2. Then put a good amount of time into doing fs 360's on flat the bullshit pivot'y way, like the '180 land back wheels and finish it' way. If you can do the bullshit pivoty fs 360 on flat and manage to drag your front wheels all steezy, even better (I can't, it's awful).
After this point, if you're better than me, which I hope you are, you could cut out step 3 & 4 and move onto the "doin' it" part.
2. Then just set aside some time alone so you're not embarrased by doing tail drops on a shin tall ledge for a half hour - cause that's what I did. I sat there for a good amount of time just propping my board up in tail stall, bopping out and doing the bullshit pivoty 'land 90 turn 180' thing out, standing still.
3. Now try ollieing into a tail stall and doing the bullshit pivoty 270 out.
4. Do a bunch of tailslides to fakie popped out, again, and when you're comfortable enough to start landing with weight on your back wheels, start goin' for it.
Don't worry about not rotating all the way, just ask yourself wwpjd?
