Nice! So how do you go UP the curb!?

There is a simple way for a board without a tail. For all curbs not taller then the half of diameter of the wheel I do this: 0. Gain some medium speed. Don't go too slow. 1. Preload the deck if it has flex (all of mine are flexible). This is optional but helps with step 2. 2. Just a moment before your front wheels touch the curb, unload the front leg keeping some (but not all) weight on the rear one. It will make the front wheels roll without weight like you are not standing on the deck at all. 3. Immediately transfer all your weight on your front leg and give some forward momentum. This will allow the rear wheels roll over the curb without being stuck. The key here is the correct timing between steps 2 and 3. If the weight transfer is not fast enough there is a risk of hitting the curb with your rear wheels while having your weight on them, thus they will get stuck and you will likely step off the board. And the board will likely go in the opposite direction. Physics, Thou Art a Heartless B***h :)) These 3 things also help: having big wheels, having a drop-down or double-drop deck, having flex.

@BalkanWalks66 Brilliant, thank you! I think this will probably work with my dropcat 38..? Do you need the front to lift up to clear, or will it bounce over the curb?

@@Asheanae this will definitely work with your dropcat 38, so nice board, wanna try it. Unfortunately longboarding is not very popular here is Serbia so... Concerning your second question. Just put your board in front of the curb, leave a 10 cm gap between the front wheels and the curb. While standing on the ground put your rear leg (the one you push with, i.e. right one if your are a regular) on the back side of the deck, make a little pressure and kick it forward slightly. The front wheels will roll over the curb. This is the movement you need to try to achieve. Just put no weight on the front truck. Whether they bounce over or just roll depends on many factors like speed, weight distribution, wheels diameter and material, curb incline and so on. It doesn't really matter because your front leg is always here ready to bounce back :) Here you can see me doing something like what I've written earlier: kzread.info/dash/bejne/a3uqlZqHnKS-qaw.htmlsi=rFlumBXEblTNZJH8&t=112 (at 1:52 timing)
