Pushing

My biggest weakness is my push. I just cant seem to get good hard pushes. Does anyone have good tips for improving your push strength/speed?

push up hills ! as fast and hard as u can, but mellow hills ! and hmmm look at how sprinters run , when there foot hit the ground the rake it , it helps get more momentum and drive them forward .

try pushing your board up sand dunes for training like sprinters do

Start off with quick little pushes, slowly build up bigger strides, my push is one of my biggest strongpoints! remember, every little bit counts, i think one of the main problems that occurs is getting on your board and into tuck quickly, practice on a mellow hill
