Scooter fakie help!

[TomGeorge]

I can get into scooter fakies no problem, and ride for ages. However the only way I can get out is turn my wheel and do a really sketchy slider thing. I've seen people hop out, but whenever I try I just lose control and whip into my legs.

jump high and catch it before you land it

 

[TomGeorge]

You mean whip it the other way? Or bring it back?

I had that same problem for so long, then I just gave them up. You could try regripping your deck that might help a little but I still couldn't get it.

 

[TomGeorge]

I just regrouped the deck before Christmas. Grip isn't the problem cause I never slip off the deck catching whips like I used to.

Try and have your foot touching the headtube, thats how I hop out of them. They feel really wierd, but I love hopping into fsf, then riding no hands because everyones like :0

 

[TomGeorge]

Haha, yeah. I will try that, but my foot already goes near the headtube.

 

[TomGeorge]

Bump?

my advice would be practice just jumping while in scooter fakie. eventually when youre mid-air start pulling it back. but your problem is being comfortable getting out. its like when you first learned to get out of a regular fakie it just feels wierd.

if you dont have a problem getting into it though just practice hopping while in scooter fakie. the higher you can jump while in them the more time you'll have and easier it'll be to bring it back

good luck!
