Backside you can fudge. You can be in slightly the wrong position and still get around. Frontside you can't. If you're not looking where you're going, you're not making it out. That's the whole thing. Most people I teach come up the ramp still staring at the ramp, or at something in front of them. Then they wonder why it won't come around. You've got to turn your head early and look down to where you want to go - and exaggerate it more than feels normal. The bit that fixes it fastest for most people is the front hand. Point it where you're going. It drags your shoulder open into exactly the right position without you having to think about it. Then just wait. Peak of your pump, slowest point, already looking around, then turn. Worth the effort because it's the thing that stops you skating a bowl properly or taking a corner, and it unlocks a heap of tricks later. It's also the cruisiest feeling in skating once it clicks - you're basically surfing. Full lesson's up in Roll with Control now! Watch now! Be honest, who's been avoiding frontsides? 🤘

Most adults don't fail at skateboarding. They start on the wrong setup and then wonder why nothing works. So I've built a FREE Skateboard Setup Calculator. It's in the classroom now. Put in your height, weight, shoe size and age, and it gives you the deck width you need, the truck sizes that match it, wheels, bearings, and roughly what the lot should cost. Pick your country and the prices come out in your currency — US, UK, Europe and Australia. It does your safety gear too. Helmet size off your head, pads off your knee and elbow, wrist guards, butt savers. Tick what you actually need and the total changes. It sizes kids as well, so if you've got one who wants a board, that's covered. Set your budget and it changes what it recommends. Cheapest points you at a complete and the three biggest shops where you live. Best gives you the full parts list to take to a skate shop. And at the bottom there's a sentence you can read straight out at the counter, so you're not standing there guessing. It's free. Go have a play 🤘 >>> Use the calculator here <<<

Doesn't matter how big or small. Stuck on kick turns, can't commit to dropping in, pushing, board setup feels wrong - whatever it is. Drop it in the comments and I'll reply to every single one. If enough people are stuck on the same thing, I'll make a video for it. Go 🤘

When you feel like you're about to fall off a ramp, your brain tells you to stand up. That's the exact wrong move, and it's what stops most people from learning to carve on ramps. This lesson is the start of your journey to carving around a bowl. Once you can carve a corner, you can finally learn to cruise around a skatepark. Covered in it: where to start, how to pump in and out, where to look so you don't end up riding straight into the coping, and the bending mistake that makes the whole thing feel rigid. Do your kickturns first if you haven't. You'll go in too high or too slow at some point and need to turn out of it. Start low, start slow, knees bent 🤘 Just added to the Rolling With Control course! >>> Unlock the course here <<<
