Airing out of mini quarterpipes?

[gsp1179]

I went to my first skatepark yesterday and tried to air out of a mini ramp and ended up falling and looking stupid.

Any simple explanation as to how? I take it you don't actually jump or you end up moving backwards.

how big is the mini-ramp your talking about?

dont even know if thats made for airing lol. sick hip though

 

[gsp1179]

Yeah, thats my friend. He could do it but I couldn't =/

I don't mean like airing upwards, I mean airing onto the deck, or even riding up it without failing

That's fly out, but that shouldn't be too hard too fly out of, just keep working on it and make sure your front wheel doesn't hit the coping and flip you over.

Yeah listen to Alex, he is beat. If you plan on doing that hip just make sure you put a little hop before the coping, try to clear the coping, like no bonk when you are leaving. And don't even bother trying to air it like a normal quarter, its way to mellow.

no wonder people think scootering is a joke

its airable just pop off the coping so it pushes you out a little and you wont clip on the way in

[Mike Montgomery]

just make sure you front wheel doesnt hit the coping
just practice

if you can find a quarter without a coping (like some flyboxes) that would probably be easier to learn on
