Back Smiths - I got one by accident on Saturday trying to learn back 5 Ohs. I then stopped working those and started working on back Smith and couldn't do a second one. It was really tough getting the truck over the coping to dip the nose. Always landed in a cross locked axel.

Feeble grind, backside, frontside and variation of the Trick.

Protip: if you're worried about trying these on any sort of bank or transition first or don't have access to one, you can get a feel for decking & turning back out on curbs, just do them slowly so you're not bashing your trucks & baseplate into the curb too hard. I know this seems & looks gross, but I actually enjoy practicing tricks in a really "gross" manner or environment like this so that the brain & body constantly gets different feedback for what's happening when a trick is being done. Like right now this idea makes me want to go out, slap my board across a curb, and practice 180s out from a stationary, decked out position just to force my body & brain to think & move in ways it's not used to. Would this look gross to most people? Yep. But are you learning something? Yep. I feel if you operate too "cleanly" or consistently sometimes that you become too familiarized with the processes and stop being aware of them. Sometimes you have to put yourself in an environment that is unorthodox or fights with you to really feel what is happening.

New trick: slappy curb rock n' roll Great idea though! Definitely going give this a try

Dear Zack! I was having trouble doing rock-n-rolls in miniramps for more than 2 years. The basic technique wasn’t working for me personally. But decking and and swaying shoulders in the opposite way before the actual turn has revolutionary effect on the execution of the trick. More then that - it gives a wow effect due to a bigger amplitude of the movement. It’s much more stylish then basic technique. Thank you so much sir 🤙🙏

It’s so nice to relearn all the details about these tricks, these vids definitely help so much

i've been learning rock n rolls the last few weeks! this is perfect timing

That’s a proper and stylish way to rock’n roll. Back foot tip was!👌

Great breakdown, I appreciate this so much. I am more ready to get this now 🙌

Trying to learn these over the summer and the decked out part is what I need someone to tell me! Snowboard season now, but I'll be on it with these tips when the snow melts in the spring. Thanks Zack!

Thanks for your advise to skate early!! God bless you!!

YOU ARE THE BEST ! THANKS BRO

I will go and relearn this trick today. Thanks!

Love this trick. Just learned both ways last summer on a small QTR I'm still trying take them bigger so thanks for this!

Wow man, you explain it so well. Thanks a lot!

I just learned these decked out the other day 🤣

great vid!

I love watching your videos, thanks for making them! And i just want to say, you've got great hair;)

This is just what I needed, especially the reminder to hunch up when coming back down. I just started skating transition and got rock to fakies down on a little practice ramp this weekend, making sure to deck it. Then I took it to a 3.5' halfpipe and got a few good slams. Now I realize that it's because I was straightening up too much on the descent. I'm going to try rock-n-rolls next time I go out... I feel like they'll be easier than rock to fakie.

Glad it hyped! Stay compressed always works to your benefit when getting in/out of transition tricks, use the transition to your advantage.

1. Practice backside stationary kick turns on flat to 90 degrees to get forward motion on flat. 2. Learn to kick turn off of a kerb to 90 degrees. 3. Learn to get 180 from a kick turn off a kerb using the back truck as a stop to push off from

Good timing, dude! Back in the day I never touched vert/tranny, so a lot of these basic but fundamental tricks aren't even in my repertoire and I've been slowly adding them in this summer and this is one to work on lately. Problem is I haven't tried them in weeks because I bought a small quarterpipe to practice on and when I went up to do a reeeaaally laid back one, I pushed the whole damn ramp out from underneath me and ate shit. Makes me wanna cry that I can learn these in a day but have a ramp that will try to kill me if I try lol.

Huh, I'm in the uk and although I know what you mean I've always said decked rock'n'rolls and hear it from most others 🤷🏼‍♂️ There's no other way to do one 😉 Smash that back truck and get them toes over the tail

I just learned about “decking” the other day! It does seem scary to get so much of the board up there, but right now I’m only comfortable with rock fakies where it’s mostly my front trucks over the coping and I don’t rock too much. Decking actually does look like it’ll feel more stable, and definitely more stylish 😅 I’m gonna try this in my next sesh!

I did my first Rock to Fakie on a mellow ramp a week or two ago and got the advice to learn them "decked out" since it's actually easier. So I'm trying to do that in 0min 45sec in this video for example kzread.info/dash/bejne/mqOGqqmOgpW4hbQ.html And yes, it makes you feel more "in control" and I also thinks it helps to put your body in a position where you are more prepared for rolling back fakie. Your body will be more centered/over the back wheels when you extend your front foot and push the board way up on the deck.

Hi Zack, nice video, this is the trick I‘m currently learning. May I ask what wheels you are riding?

when you lock in the rock and roll its so much more fun

Can finally do rock and roll, new skatepark opened up in my home town and they had smaller quarter pipes so was easier to learn.

Thanks man,I've been avoiding this trick for a long time. So -decked out, ankle angled, stall and move shoulder, ankle leverage. OK I'll try.

Thanks for the useful tips. I've restarted skateboarding after many years with a street surfskate and I've been trying to rock roll for 2 or 3 sessions with some painful results, luckily I had all my pads on. On a surfstreet skate this trick seems to be easier than the rocknroll to fakie because the front truck makes the fakie so unstable. So I'll put all your tips into practice today! :)

That's sick I got back into skating with a Carver, on the CX truck. I learned how to carve bowls really well, and now I have a transition setup, don't be scared to try it; you'll feel much more stable! And also learning coping tricks is going to be waaaay easier on regular trucks

@@mchungleplumble Thanks for the advice, makes a lot of sense. In the meantime I was able to progress on the rock n roll thanks to the tips in the video, just need to try it on higher ramps progressively!

i actually learned frontside rocks easier. i can do both ways but backside just feels harder for some reason lol. thanks for the tips tho hopefully i can get em locked in.

Great video! As always. I have never met a skater who finds frontside Rocks easier than Backside :-) I'm in the process of learning frontrocks. I can do them without fully decking, but hope to be able to do that one day... Backside is so much easier, but a little less steezy in my opinion.

Really great video, somehow this makes it seem less scary to learn. Would you say that decking also makes rock-to-fakies more manageable? I hung up and took a big slam on those so I'm trying to figure out how to get back to working on them. A friend also told me he thinks rock and rolls are actually easier than rock to fakie

When decking on rock fakies I tend to pivot out still then sorta powerslide my back wheels into fakie motion - to avoid hanging up the front trucks.

i had the same problem with rock fakies... fear, go figure! find yerself a 2-foot transition and learn 'em on that then take 'em to higher levels. you'll get them down in no time with this recipe. i'm now doing them in the 7' shallow end of toronto's beautiful california bowl at ashbridges bay skatepark. skateboarding fuck yeah!!

I think learning the rock-fakie precedes the rock n roll

That's a fun little park. They need to put a flat bar or something in the open space.

Do you/should you deck your board for rock to fakie ?

Yo can I know what music you have in the background?

I’m sorry, what is the name of the park? I am new to the area and having trouble finding it in my list of SD parks. Thank you!

Go Slap a Rock! Tail tap next :)

Where’s this park?

Ah these are how ramp banks should be : smoothly curved transition. Not like overhere in our skatepark : ___/ no curve, just flat and square up. It sent me flying past weekend. Ribs bruised, ankle sprained.

Would you learn these before rock to fakie?
