How to Kickturn

After you feel comfortable stopping, starting and stature, it's time to start practicing kickturns. Learning to kickturn is vital.

Kickturning is when you balance in your back wheels for a moment, the swing and the front of your board to a new direction. We need some balance and some practice. If this short little instruction does not make it all clear to you, read How Kickturn for more detailed instructions, for some great ideas and practices.

Once you've kickturns a little, make sure you can kickturn both directions. Try kickturning while moving. Try that while on a ramp (climb a little ways and kickturn 180). The more practical, more comfortable you will become.
