Doing a Skateboard Alley Oop Hurricane

Video Transcript

"A great variation of the hurricane to fakie, is to learn how to do an alley-oop into a hurricane. Basically what an alley-oop is, is when you travel up the ramp front side, and at the last minute you turn into a backside motion, and then land in the hurricane grind, and then come out. The hurricane grind is an especially fun trick, because as soon as you head up the ramp, you change it, and then you lock in that position. So what you're going to want to do is, roll on your board up to the coping, with your foot on the tail, and your front foot somewhere above the front wheels. As you travel up the ramp, you're going to turn your front side maneuver into a backside at the last minute. And this will cause you to lock in the hurricane position, and some times grind or stall, and then bring it to fakie after that. Alley-oop variations are especially cool, because you are actually changing your direction, and you're generating a grind that ends up rolling backwards for a second, out of a frontwards motion. So it's an especially cool trick, to have on a mini-ramp. And this is how you do, an alley-oop hurricane, to fakie."
