episode 1 - stance & pushing

In this Enuff academy we are going to start at the very beginning and teach you the basics of riding - how to stand and how to push on a skateboard.

​

We'd like to say a big thank you to ATBShop Skate Warehouse for letting us film in their park and Geoff from Rubicon​ for his time and expertise.

​

things to remember

​

stance

• Left foot forward = regular stance

• Right foot forward = goofy stance

• Use the 'push' test to find out your strong foot, this one goes at the front

• Back foot goes on the tail

​

pushing​​

• Pushing with your back foot = regular pushing

• Strong foot on the front bolts pointing forwards

• Lean forwards

• Once your pushing foot has left the ground, place it on the tail instead of the middle of the board

• By stepping straight onto the tail you are set-up for tricks

• Pushing with your front foot = mongo pushing

• Try and avoid pushing mongo as it is a little less effective and takes more steps to set-up tricks​
