Being a city alderman, I helped developed rules and regulations for a skateboarding park. I have always been a strong fan of skateboards and especially the X Games. The recent X Games in Shanghai was dominated by Americans. Andy McDonald scored an 87.67 to take home the gold.

Because of its fairly straightforward execution and its purposefulness, every skateboarder should have this trick in his or her arsenal. Foot Positioning: Firstly, take a few good pushes to achieve a comfortable pace. One or two pushes should suffice. Next, ensure that you are in the proper foot positioning. It is fairly simple; keep your non-dominant firlmy over the center of the board with your heel hanging off, and your dominant foot square on the tail. This foot positioning allows you to remove your front foot quickly. Execution: Now that you are familiar with the proper foot positioning, it is time to execute the trick. Remove your dominant foot (front foot) from the board and take a big step backside, or towards your heel. Make sure that the step is big, as there must be adequate room for the board to rotate 180 degrees in between your legs. As you release your foot, the weight of your back foot should naturally cause the board to pop. Twist your shoulders 180 degrees so that your dominant foot becomes the front foot. The board should follow your front foot in its rotation. Allow the board to promply land in between your feet, and quickly replace your

The first thing we did was the tilt jump to the front and then the tilt jump with our left leg tucked across the floor. For me that was easy since we have been practicing the tilt for almost a week already. After the tilt across the floor Ms. Gee added more steps such as the , retire position , and small altitude jump. The first three times I got confused on the arm placement, but after that I stay for a minute after class and got the order of the steps.

For beginners this step is really awkward. You want to have your board parallel to the wakes and keep your knees slightly bent. Have the majority of your weight on your back foot so the nose of the board does not dip down. Keep your chest and back straight up, and hips slightly turned. Hold the rope with both hands close to your back hip and try to stay straight. In the beginning your board is going to naturally want to turn 70 or 120 degrees depending on your stance. After you get out of the awkward stage of learning how to properly stand, turning is the next part. We call it turning, but it is more of a lean, almost like riding a bike. To do this you use your toes and heels. You will hear It called “digging” or “edging” in.
