I somehow lost fs blunts
Any angle going up feels wrong, I end up either fucking up the pop out completely or underrotating. It used to be easy and now I'm doing something extremely wrong and can't get the feel back.
Someone here got a good one and can help me out?
Front blunts have been one of those tricks I was never keen to commit to, but here are a few things I worked out that make things happen more as they should.
I would never get down low enough to get the motion of a fakie frontside 180, but the lower body always turned before the upper body did. Once I got the upper body to turn with some momentum, then things got around way more easily, landing more 180 rather than just 90 or 120 and carve or tic tac out.
I could do back side blunts every other go, which are way more a toe side trick, whereas front blunts are way more a heel side trick, in that I needed to get my body weight over my heel side a lot more to get the pop out more easily. This is not sliding or anything fancy, just the straight up blunt, then pop in motion, but if my weight was nowhere near far enough over to the heel side / front side, I would either not land my back foot on or manual out which didn't end nicely.
If I landed standing too tall, I would often end up with wheelbite or slip out, so I had to get the whole trick, especially the landing being more crouched and keep more turning motion on the back foot rather than the front and it was easier to ride out that way too. Landing too tall, or in a pivot motion meant I was more likely to come off.
Seeing some of the people do them with such explosive snap and pop with a full frontside 180 in the air and all in one kind of motion is amazing, but for everyone else, to get up on there and almost turn more than pop them in seems a lot more common, especially on things that are not so steep or tall.
I have some videos, but that is probably enough for now anyway.
Does it even make sense? It is past 2 am here right now.
