Peter Pan trick
one of the very first tricks you should know is the Peter Pan which is a dancing maneuver that can make you look like you’re gliding right across the ground. Peter Pan is very simple
you’re gonna bring both your feet to the center of the board your feet are going to be pointing towards the nose of your board and you’re simply gonna alternate from crossing one foot over the other while stepping on two opposite sides of the rail this is gonna create a very flowy cool-looking carving sensation and it will feel pretty sweet
the key to learning this trick is to keep your head above your feet don’t lean forward don’t lean back because your balance is very fine
you know what’s next right
Flip
Tess go spread flip is probably the easiest way to do any sort of flip on your longboard
it doesn’t require you to know how to do a kickflip basically
all you’re doing is stepping off the board briefly with one step on the ground while flipping the board from underneath with your other foot that’s still floating in the air, you can blend this very easily with other dancing tricks and other dancing maneuvers. if you can get into a smooth line nobody will even complain that you put a foot on the ground when you flipped your board
it looks a little sketchy it’s a lot of commitment but it won’t you won’t get hurt you might fall but it just takes commitment
so let’s start the rotation here without putting Moffit slow
you look there and then you’re looking there and you just have to like keep looking at it it’s like my fit goes there once you get it, like that once you get it, like that it’ll be a lot easier to just come in and do the full spin without even looking at, it just focuses my feet goes there get it there you got it
old-school flip not my personal favorite, but it’s pretty fun and it’s basically putting your foot under the board and flipping it sideways
these are your feet and goes under and this little part of your shoe goes here and just it helps to jump sideways or worried the board is gonna end up okay
I called this one dragon tail cuz I don’t know the name and when I went to China that’s how they call it when they asked me to and to be honest is pretty badass right dragon tail so kick crap 90 from there is when your front foot gets off the board
