Skating Tips from Santa

Video Transcript

"Ho, ho, ho, Santa for Expert Village. Today we are going to learn how to do an ollie and how to skate a ramp. Now the first thing you need is a good skateboard. I usually have a billion or so on my sleigh. Let me see here. Aha, yes, reach the coping lift your front trunks up and as you are pivoting, press down on the nose unless you want to fly 50 back. That’s a different story. Find an area that is smooth and easy to roll on. Now crouch down and put your front foot in the middle of your board and your back foot on the tip of the tail. Snap the tail down hard and jump up sliding your front foot up sideways on the board. This makes your shoe grab the grip tape and pull the board upwards. Extend your legs and land the alley. The hardest part is the timing. When to push down on the tail, when to jump and how quickly to suck up your legs. The secret all at the same time. Merry Christmas from Expert Village."
