Ummm.. Don't hit the brake? Lol
Just keep your back foot on the side of the brake

Back foot sideways while spinning 180s. Also keeps your back foot from flying off, which is a steez killer.

cut off your foot?

cut off your foot?

-_- no. What you need to do is keep your back foot on the side of the brake, kinda like riding ski. Or if you do have your foot on the brake, just keep your weight on the front foot that's not on it... That's all I can think of

Push your feet up by the front of the deck sideways and practice and gradually push them back towards the brake as you get more comftorable

ok thanks guys im slowly starting to get them better, now i gotta work on my fakies.. i always hit my brake to fakie out and i feel like its wrong haha

 

[tylerbillman]

Well yeah that would be wrong to do. don't touch your brake at all for any reason when doing anything that has to do with fakie tricks. And looking down at your front wheel while riding in fakie helps too.

i feel like fakieing without the brake is just super sketchy for some reason

 

[skooterdood32]

It's not, it's much better to slider out of the fakie or even fakie half-cab out

when you jump pull your scooter up against your feet until your foot stays in place then try to 180
