Slappy Morning
I‘m going to go out on a limb and say that the frontside carve grind that I‘m more confident with now also helped unlocking frontside slappies.
A few other things I‘ve paid attention to today, that helped me to finally land a slappy grind:
- Shoulder position and movement: as with so many other tricks, your board goes where your should goes. Making sure the forward shoulder guides the motion of the frontside turn onto the curb helped a lot.
- Speed: not being afraid riding faster into the curb
- Angle: riding straight into the curb is easier, than coming into it from an angle
However, landing may first slappy is a big milestone, having tried them countless times!
