I like the amphibian activity you get on quarterpipes, it feels like you’re blind in the air and you can with no agitation grab anywhere on the board. One of the best fun tricks on a QP is the air to fakie.
Airs to fakies are additionally one of the easiest tricks. All you accept to do is ride beeline at the QP on your atom stick. I like this ambush because of its simplicity. An air to fakie is basically the aforementioned affair as beeline airing a jump, except the QP shoots you beeline up in the air … so you acreage in the aforementioned atom you took off. All you accept to do is ride beeline at the QP.
When abutting a QP, aces a beeline band up the bank and break absolutely flat-based while benumbed up the transition. If you get on edge, you may go casting larboard or right—you won’t go as big. Always accumulate your knees bent.
When you ability the top of the lip, you don’t charge to pop much, accumulate your anatomy solid and let the QP do all the assignment for you. Remember: Like achievement and wallrides, alpha out baby to feel out the transition, again you can “send it.” So, now you’ve larboard the lip, try to break composed. Fly up in the air and grab the board. I like to grab frontside.
You’re amphibian and tweaked-out frontside now, attending bottomward at the arresting to accomplish abiding you’ll acreage aback in the transition. As continued as the QP has vert on it, you should be fine. If so, again you’re acceptable to go—if not, well, acceptable luck, ’cause landing on the accouter of a QP is sketchy. Anyway, as you appear aback bottomward to land, you should acreage in about the aforementioned abode you larboard the lip—nice and aerial on the transition.
Ride aback bottomward the tranny about-face and pump aback up the acropolis as far as possible. You’ll accept beneath of a backpack to hit the quarterpipe abutting time. Once you apprentice this trick, again you can move on to frontside and behind airs.
Boxes are a abundant affection to apprentice boardslides, advanced boards, and 270-outs on because they're cool accessible to shred. Boxes are nice and advanced compared to a handrail, so you don't charge to anguish if you're not altogether centered on the box. For a boardslide, hop on the box at a 90-degree angle and break centered over the board, flat-based, until you ability the end of the box—it's too easy. So instead, I'm activity to airing you through the boardslide to 270 out.
Approaching a box is appealing mellow; you don't charge to hit it from a crazy angle or anything. Aloof break calm and loose, and cycle up on it. It is acceptable to pop off your toes on the ascent and acreage in added of a tailslide, instead of landing absolutely aboveboard in the average of the box—it makes snapping the 270 out easier. Now that you're sliding, break over the lath so it doesn't discharge out in advanced of you. Hold the position with your knees bent.
As you abreast the end of the box, activate to circle your arch and amateur in the frontside direction. Spring an ollie off your aback bottom and admit the frontside spin—use your amateur to absolute the rotation. The advanced 270 feels aloof like a frontside three, but it's easier to land. If you accumulate your eyes on the arena and angle your knees with the lath acicular beeline bottomward the hill, you shouldn't accept a botheration with the landing.
Now that you accept abstruse several accepted tricks, feel chargeless to go out and try them. If you fail, remember, convenance makes absolute and alike added practise makes you alike added perfect, or at atomic that is what I accept been told. Go out their and try your best, and you are abiding to get the after-effects that you are after. Acceptable Luck!
