<p>I couldn't do standies for months then suddenly one day I could. It's like learning to ollie. Advice will help you improve your technique once you can do it but the only way to actually learn is just to skate until you get it.<br/><br/><cite>Michael English said:</cite></p>

<p>*sit low<br/>*setup carve<br/>*swing arms and turn shoulders<br/>*push with feet<br/>*put skate face on<br/><br/>even if you are too low, you should be able to save yourself with a hand and transition into a panic coleman slide thing. unless its a big surprise. then ya gotta hope yer bums nice and soft.<br/><br/>yeah cents, watching monster skaters and videos. the pros lag the back hand behind them. i think it drags ur back shoulder back a bit so when you run out of slip your back wheels hook up and your shoulders are already set up for a carve or something.... <br/>slide myths go!<br/>but really sitting too low is "safer" than standing too high</p>
