penddyyy's
ok so i stopped stingbugging after i learned it meant death from falling off and being flamed.
now i dont know if its me or the lack of concave/grip on my dervish but when i try to heelside without a hand i just slide right off. so i have been 'style bugging' as jacko said. where i try to get my knee down low and always put my hand over my lower leg, not in between my legs. anyway getting my leg down and getting my hand on top of it while leaning back so i dont highside is really hard and stretches my muscles.
if any of you guys encountered this problem when learning to pendy/heelside corners how did you deal with it?
and does anyone know what stretches would help or what muscles are being affected.
i also cant seem to bring the board back to regular after the 180, i heard i needed more speed like everyone says but instead i tried t ojust push out the wheels a bit and then bring them back and found this almost impossible. once i start sliding my wheels out from sit down leg bent position it automatically tries to 180 :-/
am i doing anything wrong?
thanks in advance, Jack.

Try coming in faster dude and look down the hill and point ur shoulders down the hill aswell
That will make a basic rotation

ok thanks for all the advice ill try again tommorow. i have a dervish and tried to just chuck some stick on grip on and it slippped off when i slid.
if i try to sand the clear grip off then put some new grip on will that be bad for the board structually?

sanding off the grip tape is fine and it'll help the new stuff stick better.

thankyou.
oh and i went out while it was a bit wet today and did a pendy keeping my shoulders square. the only problem was a) i wasnt going fast so i came out of it basically still, and b) i got a massive cork in my upper thigh but my sister told me to do this yoga thing that stretches it all :)

get your heels hanging off the board and you hopefully shouldnt fall off

-Try no hands on the board, it allows you to control the board a bit faster (if you know how to do it).
-Don't freeze up, this sends you into a 180*
-Always drop your back leg
-Try and keep only one hand on the ground
-Don't put too much weight on you hands (this is why one hand on the gruond is better than two, because having two means you just lean onto them)
-A note on style: Imagine you are one big piece of thin metal which can twist at the top, causing the bottom half to then twist in that direction. So go into the slide, point you hand, look, and rotate you shoulders where you want to go/how and where you want the board to rotate, then point, look and rotate back when you're ready to. Remember to keep the leg dropped and DON'T JUST KICK your legs to get the board to rotate. That way, when you rotate and look, if your body and legs stay the same, all of your body shoud move and respond correspondingly.
-When learning, just try to get your board perpendicular to the road, and hold out the slide until it stops. Once you can do that instead of it 180*ing, then start trying to rotate back.
-Get out there and try yourself, it comes from lots of practice. Then once you can do it, and you are just having fun using it in general skating, you will become even better at them. That's more important than listening to everybody's individual styles-so long as you don't do the obious things eg: stinkbug or two-hands-on-ground etc.
