I’ve been a “street” skateboarder for 20+ years. After finally getting into transition this video made me able to rock to fakie 💯 thank you 🙏

I've hurt my self on this damn trick more than any other ):.. I got some sort of rock to fakie syndrom... I can do just about any miniramp trick that doesn't require you to roll back in fakie.

I think learning how to pump back and forth higher and higher in a mini ramp or bowl might be helpful to getting used to the feeling of rolling backwards and practicing that manual

Been trying to get these for years, I can comfortably get it fully decked and stalled out and I can do the manual above the coping and fakie back in but as soon as I go to pull it back in from the rock position I get this nono voice in my head that makes me jump off every time, I don't know why it's so terrifying.

Thanks for your series of skate tutorials yours seem to be one of the best!

Dropped in for the first time today thanks to your tutorial. Looking forward to trying this now

Love your tutorial videos Ben ! And the new channel.

Dude youre the best always giving good ass trick tips

Excellent explanations!

This is so useful and clear.

thanks so much for this vid, i've watched so many but ur tips are so helpful. i got this trick a few months into skating, and i just keep getting them and losing them and getting them, and now i'm a year in and so much better at skating, and for some reason i lost them again?? very frustrating

Really great video!!

I've watched up to this. Still continueing but learning

The thing about this trick is it’s really easy to slam hard. I have never hung up but slipped out bad a couple of times going back in. I actually had the trick down pretty ok but now I’m terrified of it, I just can’t commit so I’ve had a break. I just been skating the ramp a lot and getting my backside slash grinds down, also practised my frontside kick turns to the point I’m now really comfortable with them, they always felt sketchy like I could just fall on them. Today I pretty much hit my first tail stall as it was just there for the taking. I feel I will get my rock fakie back very soon. Personally I think there is a lot to be said to getting really comfortable on your board on the ramp and don’t have so much fear of being high near the coping. Happy skating brothers and sisters.

Yeah I get this. I learnt them recently and was getting really confident. Then I went skating, had a bad day, lots of stupid bails and one really bad one on my already injured wrist and now every time I try them I have to relearn them and they're nothing like as good as they were. I find warming up with that little manual thing he suggested helps but to double lift the board quickly. One lift at the top and the other on the way back. You've done them before so you will get them back.

@@damianb2374 it took me way longer than it should have. Like you I could cobra tap with really good timing and could even do little fakie ollies but I just could not commit to full send all the way up. In my head I thought I would slam really hard. Anyway I finally did commit and once I had a couple of bails( never slammed, was always about to step off/run out, I lost all fear. I then got it really quickly within a few try’s. You just need enough speed and commitment. If you can cobra tap you got it 100%. Edit. I just realised that tail stall in my original comment was a one off. I only got them down properly recently. I did that tall stall sort of by accident on a little quarter.

Good tips, Cheers Big Ears !

Brilliant, thanks alot!

Finally got this down today, but it’s the baby ones. Next time I gotta get more of the board over the coping

I don't think it's necessary to learn dropping in switch.. one of the biggest tips that helped me learn rock to fakie, is keep your knees really nicely bent when you're coming back down the ramp, it'll help you stay centered over the board. One of the reasons for slipping out forward toward the ramp is standing up too much

I hate those steep little quarters at my local park but they might helped me learning this trick. I still do the 'clippy ones' though :D I will try to learn a proper one as soon as the skatepark is open again. I'm also still afraid to drop in, only did it twice so far.

Just learned to drop in so coming here for a new trick

I have this my first really solid try today and are shit. Something about going over to coping scares me and makes me stiffen up.

You deserve more subs

No wonder they used lappers on old school trucks... Thanks for the tips! I am doing it wrong by not committing to set the rock deep enough on the board while staying leaned inside the ramp... splat... I think I'll get it next time for sure.

This is something I am trying to attempt. I can drop in, back side turn, get up to the coping. But fakie is just sketch. I want to drop just drill going up and coming back down in fakie till it doesn’t feel so weird then hit the fakie

I can drop in switch, but I still have trouble committing to this...
