damian 0 Posted November 13, 2002 Share Posted November 13, 2002 what your girlfriend does, although she will tell you it was real. Seriosu answer: I learnt on the weekend that it is riding backwards, that is your backfoot become the front foot. Link to post Share on other sites

Ocean11 0 Posted November 27, 2002 Share Posted November 27, 2002 NoFakie can't do it (yet). Nor can I (yet). But I'm gonna have a damn good try next time I go. (That's the face I'm gonna be pulling until I succeed.) I've seen all these young wakners doing the switch on the go until you don't know which is fakie and which is reg'lar, and it looks really cool. Then I'm going to be going Link to post Share on other sites
Raury 0 Posted November 27, 2002 Share Posted November 27, 2002 When you can do it, you will go I can now do a carved run down a blue run fakie. The smile didn't leave my face for about 2 days after I nailed that. Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted November 27, 2002 Share Posted November 27, 2002 Good stuff Raury. What's your stance? I have a feeling I won't have much luck unless I go duck foot for a bit... Link to post Share on other sites
echineko 1 Posted November 27, 2002 Share Posted November 27, 2002 I can't do it fakie. Or many other trick, just enjoy it! Link to post Share on other sites
Will Lee 0 Posted November 28, 2002 Share Posted November 28, 2002 That`s my new challenge for the season too. Tried a little at Goryu/47 last time but things didn`t quite work out then..shall try again. Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted November 29, 2002 Share Posted November 29, 2002 I saw more doodies doing fakie today, and it looks fun. I also saw a skier going backwards really fast (faster than many go going forwards), and that looked fun too. Happo is all steep at the top, and not friendly for learning fakie methinks.

barok 0 Posted November 29, 2002 Share Posted November 29, 2002 yeah O-dog - if yah can`t duck it - f**k it. I ride pure duck 20 in front 15 in back - way exaggerated angles - I know but it works for me and I haven`t broken my knees yet, although I have heard popping noises plenty. but it works great for riding switch and doing all sorts of spins - not as much power, but lots of torque for spins.

fisherkingnigel 0 Posted November 29, 2002 Share Posted November 29, 2002 Yo, I'm just learning how to spin here myself.(Gambatemas) This rear I'm going to convince "Me" that I'll have the ability to do a simple spin land Fakie? (As he slaps himself across the face) Thanks for adice Barok, it sounds like going in on a slight angle is a sugoi IDEA! I guess at this point it becomes more of a twisting, jerking motion in the hips. Making sure to use your hands for your aiming to the landing. Next I guess is either landing reg or fakie? What about busting your wrists? I know lots of kids who do it every year on Whistler or any other local mtn in Vanouver. I WILL DO A SPIN, TWIST, 360, or whatever. I must do it young skywalker!
