I just can't figure out whats involved in one.

I make it about 3/4 the way around and crap out because of my not spinning around fast enough.

Any useful/helpful tips or ways to practice the motion easily?

i posted in the trick help thread or whatever it is, but i'll say it again.

1. It helps if you have spin frontside naturally, or can at least do frontside spins decently. You'll be wanting to do decades fs.
2. Put your feet up the deck, kinda skiish. Bend down and jump as HIGH as you can
3. Spin as HARD as you can. Even if you think you wont make it keep spinning, don't stop the rotation.
4. Tuck your knees up, this helps a bunch.

and thats it, otherwise just practice.

mmmkay, so, here's my foolproof guide to getting help with the trick you're having trouble with...
1. 1st, you gotta be in SR alrready
2. place your hand on the mouse
3. locate the search button in SR
4. move your mouse over the search bar thing
5. click
6. type in the name of the trick you want help with
7. go to advanced search
8. search in the tricks section only
9. find what you're looking for
10. once you've found out some tips, go get your scooter
11. take it outside
12. practice

Thats all there is to it? seems like you'd just fly away from the scooter if you did that.

and yes dre thats wonderful and all but if you aren't going to say anything constructive dont bother at all

I got myself banned.
Seriously, Martin Kimbell said this year ago and its the best tip for decades... try to kick yourself in the butt, it works. Make sure your spinning the right way too, i used to do mine opposite and could never land it than tried it the other way and i got it

woa doubleposts the same thing he said above but qouting himself without dissing dre. Thats not constructive if you ask me

Well, atleast mine was accidental :)

Yeah, I've heard of the kicking yourself in the ass trick, but I'm just not sure I'm doing it right.

Edit: Idea; anyone have any clips of people doing decades, preferably in slow motion? I only found this on Youtube:

It was completely constructive. I've seen the same information you're getting in this thread numerous other times on SR. Search the tricks you need help with thread first before making a new one. Jordan even copied and pasted a post that he made earlier in the trick help thread and put it in here. It's not like the end of the world or anything, just don't do it again pretty much haha..
