Foot placement in an Alley Oop Hurricane

Video Transcript

"The foot placement that you'll need for the alley-oop hurricane, to fakie, will be very general, basically one foot on the tail, don't hang your toe over too much, you still want to have control of the tail; and with the front foot, you're going to put it just behind the set of trucks in the front, or the two mountin hardware, in the front truck. The most important part of this trick is using your upper body to gain the momentum needed to get into the alley-oop position, and then turn it back around. So the most important foot placement is going to have to do, with when you lock into the feeble. And this is going to have to do with you keeping your weight on the top, of the tail especially, and extending your front leg straight ahead like this. Some times you may find that you may want to pick up the sole of your foot from the grip tape, and actually holding in that position, before coming into fakie. And with your back foot, you're going to want to arch it just slightly, to be able to keep your weight on the transition side of the ramp, and to keep it. So one way to do this, is to arch your foot and poke your front leg out, and with your back foot that's staying on the tail, to arch that just a bit, and this will help you keep your weight on the inside of the ramp, and be able to poke the board up into feeble, or hurricane grind, to bring it to fakie."
