Airing

[DylanScootsCA]

When you air, whether theres coping or no coping, when you drop in and are approaching the quarter how do you not fall flat on your face when you hit the coping wouldnt hitting the coping be the same as riding into a curb at 15 mph? Someone help cause i really want to learn airs. THANK YOU!!

You jump/boost before you hit the coping and at the same time as you jump you twist abit so that you turn so you can land in the quarter again riding forward

The thing with copings is that they stick less/far out on different ramps. As I said you're not supposed to just follow the quarter and think that you're gonna fly up and land in the quarter again because you will fly forward if you do that and land in a totally wrong place which maybe will make you fall.

when you go to air, don't think about airing. just think about flinging your scooter all over out of control in every direction, and also think about how flat you're going to land. thats what everyone else does

What I do is jump like an inch before coping and then tuck my legs

I just pull up and hop big

lol. no. you just pop up the coping. Its more like riding over a crack in the ground if anything. start doing airs below coping and work your way up

i usually just pop the coping, and just flow with it dont be stiff and tight be loose and just let the scooter do most of the work. youll flow right back into the quarter smooth. i love airs. nothing else feels like it. just make shure the coping isnt sticking out really far or is loose then youd have a problem haha but its fairly simple

What do you mean by pop the coping everyone says to do it but I don't get it haha

when u go up to it, you have to let your front wheel hit it so it pushes ypu a bit away from it, then bend your legs, dont focus too much on turning, and come down
