Proper Foot Placement in a Skateboard Manual

Video Transcript

"So the foot placement that you'll need for an Ollie manual will be pretty basic and it may be different for everyone else because it's going to depend on what you find to be your best foot placement and it's also going to depend on what trick you're going to do out of the manual possibly. So what you'll do is, you'll Ollie into the position and you'll land with your feet in, like this and you'll want to keep your foot nice and even on the tail, not too much hanging off either side and that goes for the front foot also, not too much hanging off because a lot of times you'll find that you'll be uneven, so you want a nice even position. Also if you're going to do a trick out of the manual you'll want to bring your foot just slightly back during the manual so that you can possibly Ollie out or any kind of variation that you want to do. So the best advice is just to keep your feet in a very sturdy position so that you can keep your weight balanced as you manual. Then you'll have choices and things that you can, options that you'll have to do a trick out."
