smiths

[jbscoot]

i was doing some smith stalls on this curb yesterday, and then today i decide to hit my box. I completely fall forward. I waxed up my scoot and the box and it still doesn't slide.

dont lean forward, just put a little pressure on your front end

and post in tricks section

 

[paulleparik]

don't lean forward
use a peg at first
make sure your back wheel makes it
and hop out.

Look in the trick section

guys i know how to do smiths its not the trick. The problem is the deck. It used to slide perfect i did stalls smith stalls on a curb now it wont slide. i waxed it and everything.

edit: i can see how the original post was confusing sorry, i was in a rush.

what deck do you have?

 

[jbscoot]

Reventon

 

[D ∆ V I D]

its not the deck, you should never blame the parts. it is you, and you have to adjust to the parts.

 

[jbscoot]

I know im just trying to get some tips. Will it start sliding fine over time?

 

[Joe Riley]

The post is about a trick. Not the deck. Post in the right section, or be more clear.

 

[Robert]

you have to lean back and its definitely not you deck because i have a reventon and i do backsmiths all the time

smiths are fucking great.
the way i learned them was with a plastic peg and once i toke the peg off i just had to lean a little more back and it was pretty much the same. leaning back helps a lot, but make sure you get locked in position

plastic peg is so easy to learn them on.
i reccomend magray plegs or T4 plegs

 

[issac p]

yeah i learned with magrays, but now i can do them with pretty much any deck without pegs

 

[KieranPeterson]

Same weight/foot placement as a double peg, they feel almost exactly the same. Dial in your double pegs then try em'.

How about on a rup V1, I cannot smith at all - every time I try I stick to the ledge. Btw it's not me, I can do it on my friends envy deck.

 

[jbscoot]

guys i do not need help on how to smith. I am actually quite good at smiths. i wanted to know why that even though i waxd my box and my scooter, i go for a smith and the deck wont slide.

 

[parrish]

The front dropout of the deck is probably hitting the wood on your box and causing you to catch. You need to wax the wood, and lean further back.

it sounds funny but learn whips into them its easier to learn how to position the slide =P
