"Try Hillclimb in Noosa. (Gyndier Drive)It's a good hill for practising anything, and probably one slide at the end of the track."

bummer ur in qld, cant go for a sesh to share my newbie perspective on standups. i hang my heels off the heelside rail and crouch low during a heelside carve. when im some ways into the carve i push forwards with my feet. stay in a sort of sitting position. and of course practice, with friends :)
