Video Transcript

"ANDY SEEHAUSEN: Hey guys. This is Andy on behalf of Expert Village, Seventh South Clothing and Ramp Riders Skate Park. Today in this clip, I'm going to be showing you where to stick the back end of the bike while doing a 540 hurricane. This is the most essential part. This is going to be your basis for your spin later on, and this is a really crucial part. So, here's how you do it. When you come up, you're going to have the correct speed like I talked about in the last clip. You're going to come up. You're going to spot the coping. You're going to want to put your back wheel on the coping like this. I know it looks funny but this is how you do it. You're going to keep your back wheel on the coping. If you miss like this, oop, you're either going to do a 540 tail tap or you're just going to fall. If you get it like this, usually, if you don't have great brakes, you're going to go like this and you're going to toss the bike. While you're doing this, it's kind of tricky process because when you go up, you need to look for the coping with your head turned. You're going to have your head turned to the side, but you're also going to be spotting your landing for this step."
