halfpipe air

[Piccadilly]

When i drop in and do a air on the other side of the halfpipe i don't seem to have enough speed to do a air the other side. I don't know if its 'cause im not pumping enough or if the rampo was a little small.
Any advise on this would be great. thanks.8)

well when you get near the bottom of the quarter, bend down and push down on the deck, thats how you pump faster.

okay, and what about when i land?/, also should i bump the scooter on the coping before i air?/heard that i should some where.
and thanks.

umm what i do is crouch down really low kinda and go as fast as i can. and yes, your front wheel should hit the coping, which makes sure you dont decktap the quarter and eat shit XD

 

[J SWEETS]

backwheel is meant to hit coping. not front. for bikes atleast.

 

[Piccadilly]

, both wheels maybe?/

thanks

Uhm you can cheat a little by doing a tabletop. It will atleast make it look like you're going higher above the cope-ing haha

You have to learn to pump both down and up the quarterpipes. Also, don't bump your front wheel against the coping, it slows you down. You can make it ride over it and touch it a little bit, but don't let it bump directly into it. Watch this, it explains perfectly.

Airing is different on bikes though, on scooters you use different techniques depending on how steep the transition is. For vert, you really just have to roll up it. Just go at it with a lot of speed and since it's vert, it does it for you.
And for keeping speed, make sure you land high up in the transition and pump all the way down the ramp.
