Hi All

Just looking for tips on how to get the board off quicker and slicker when in the air. Really like Airstyle moves and big airs. Now want to get some nice big air board off's. my first issue is getting both feet out of the board.

So all tips are welcome. Like should I be going for the edge of the board or aim for the handle?

Will try and get some photos up if I manage anything decent. Would love to get the full on board off deadmans.

Cheers

Paul :D

Handle if you have no grip tape on the rail.

Handle is also a bit easier.

Lift up your legs, don't reach down!

Big straps!!!

Sit down on a chair and practise....this way you will know what I mean with lifting your legs up,.,

Good luck!

It is called "King Deadman"!

And keep an eye on www.airstyle.tv for inspiration...new trailer coming soon !!!

Thanks for that, the wife might look at me funny but I will give the chair idea a go.

Cheers

Not got it completely dialed but I find it easiest to grab the corner of the board i.e fingers over the fin

sure, you need less bending to take the board off, but it is harder (takes longer) to get back into the straps.
