Curb Cuts
« on: July 02, 2016, 04:35:42 PM »
Any advice to utilize the curb cut to its maximum potential? I can barely get any type of snap off them.

you have to really feel that puppy as you ride up it and snap at the sweet spot somewhere near when your front wheels near the top

Always an interesting obstacle, seems like California has the most straight forward/perfect ones, where as Canada and the NE US has trickier ones often short and steep, Alex Olson is good on them. It can be pretty tricky to crack a good satisfying ollie on them sometimes, but that's what makes them fun

Timing the pop is tough, I usually have to hit one 2 or 3 times before I start launching off it.

Oh man :( I honestly believe those lego pads are gonna be the next stage in skate stopping. That will ruin any spot!

All you California heads, be thankful for your curb cuts. Here in Arizona, they're nonexistent except for certain places in downtown. I remember the first time i skated one in LA, it felt like a god damn kicker in a skatepark lol

I could be wrong, but I think those are intended so that blind people can know where the sidewalks ends before wandering into traffic.

I feel like theres always that spit in the curb cut where you feel like it's throwing your body forward a little bit just riding off of it, so I ride off of it a few times until I feel comfortable with where it is and try to ollie or early grab right there
