Would you like to impress your friends with stunt moves with the scooter? Rotating the back is a good start. The move involves jumping off the scooter when it is already off the ground, making a full turn to the rear, and landing on the scooter while continuing to move in the same direction. The maneuver will surely leave the spectators stunned. Read on to learn this very effective trick.
Steps
Method 1 of 2: Practice Foot Positioning
Step 1. Choose which foot pushes and which one rests on the scooter
To do this type of stunt, you need to practice positioning your foot correctly so that the scooter lands where you decide. Usually, if you are right, your left foot stays on the front of the scooter base, not coming off except during a jump, while your right foot pushes and steers the scooter, staying close to the brake at the rear when it is on the base of the scooter. middle.
Practice driving and try to feel comfortable in the vehicle. Even if you are left handed, the "false" position, which foresees as already explained that the right foot pushes the vehicle, could be more comfortable
Step 2. Practice rotating the back while still
Before kicking the back from under your feet when in motion, practice with simple standing "kicks". Keeping your foot stationary on the board, use your other leg to kick the side of the scooter with force and speed so that it completes a full turn and returns to its original position.
Practice jumping out of reach of the board while kicking the vehicle. When you have mastered this technique, you can move on to trials to perform the same maneuver in motion
Step 3. Use your hands to control the height and movement of the scooter as it rotates
The movement is quick, but you can lift the handlebars a little with your hands to make sure the bike comes off the ground. But try to keep it parallel to the ground.
- Practice lifting the scooter and adjusting to the actual weight. As you progress through the exercise, you should understand how high to lift it, and how far you need to align it to keep it parallel to the ground.
- The hands must never leave the handlebar during the entire maneuver.
Method 2 of 2: Landing from Rotation
Step 1. Practice on the go
Put your foot on the scooter and push with the other until you reach a suitable speed. Stay balanced and don't accelerate too much. Place your fixed foot forward on the board, and place your pushing foot on the opposite side of the brake, letting it dangle from the edge.
Step 2. Jump up, and push the brake to the side with the foot that provided the movement
This leads you to slightly cross your legs, and the trick is to release them and land at the same time the scooter has completed its turn. At first, you need to practice landing on the ground, but later you can move on to racing landings on the scooter itself.
Step 3. Land from the rotation
When the scooter rotates towards the support one, reposition the foot on the board, and bring the vehicle straight back to land in the same starting position, and then adjust the foot that gives the push in the most appropriate way.
This maneuver takes a lot of practice. Keep the scooter straight and stop the rotation with the support foot, before placing the scooter on the ground and pushing forward with the other foot
Step 4. Practice performing a "heel turn" or a "false turn", essentially the same maneuver but kicking the scooter in the opposite direction
Push with the foot providing movement, using your heel to advance the vehicle, rather than pushing it backwards. Stop the rotation with the foot providing the movement and then land the board with this same foot as you would in the other case.
Advice
- Don't give up easily. This trick requires a lot of practice and just as much patience.
- Practice jumping first, don't jump straight into rotation. To make sure you jump high enough, use bumps on the road. You can do it for sure!
Warnings
- Always wear protective gear, such as a helmet, wrist and ankle protectors.
- Don't wear socks that are too short and try to use ankle protection. The scooter may hit you in the ankles, and any padding helps block the blow.
