    "... but you HAVE TO push mongo, which is difficult for a beginner" - didn't expect to hear this on a skating channel. Now the universe is broken.

    Just subbed, it is a good explanation and tutorial on shifting weight. I had a problem on kicking turning on ramp that my body wasn’t facing downward completely to the ramp after I kick turned so my weight would be on rear foot , then the board shoot out and I had to jump off my board.

    The problem I have is pumping when kickturn in order to gain speed or mantain it at least, no one teaches that on youtube, and it's so important, becuase I can do kick turns, but every single time I lose speed

    @@JJ-el6qx Braille has a good video on it, I don’t know how to explain it but it’s basically putting strategic pressure on the board to gain momentum on a slope so you don’t lose speed. Usually you ride with knees bent but to pump, on a ramp, just before you hit the flat you push your weight into the board straightening your legs before you go back into normal position.
