Slash carve attempts by looking at the coping and twisting the hips

I'm a Skate IQ member so I submitted my last slash carve attempt video for a review by Mitchie at Skate IQ. He recommended me to wait longer before kick turning. He told me to try to delay the kickturn until I start rolling down backwards / fakie. He said I can start by doing this half way up the ramp, or even 1/4 up the ramp. I tried to do this, but couldn't make my mind / body do it :(
Instead, I tried one of his other pieces of advice. Look at the coping! In my previous attempts I tried to look at the coping, but when looking at the videos I noticed that I actually turned my head long before my back wheels reached the coping. I put some pieces of tape on the quarter pipe and focused on looking at them as long as possible and this actually worked really well!
I looked at the fake tape coping while approaching the ramp, while going up and while kickturning!
A few times I actually rolled passed the uppermost tape coping, so that the heelside back wheel hit the coping.
Another thing I tried in this session was to turn the hips frontside to be able to do the kickturn by twisting the hips rather than rotating the shoulders. This is another - general - tip from Mitchie which also worked really well!

You can do kickturn when board stoping and even when board start going backwards. Rotating on inner wheel or external wheel, but on the coping you have to rotate only on inner wheel and get weight on toe all the time or use heel to lock on coping.
Improve your balance and control extra speed by banding your knee, is the way to do delay longer.

Should I keep my legs bent longer / further up on the ramp? Maybe all the way up to the coping? Should I try to to the kickturn (on the coping) while crouching a bit?

It's not necessary bend legs strongly all time, but is more safe because you closer to a ramp. Ramp is your friend, be closer, and ramp save you from injuries.
Important thing is get right speed to reach the coping(It's a key).
When you come, at the bottom of the ramp feel your speed.
If your speed is slow, you can get extra speed by crouching before and extend your leg when going up on the ramp.
If your speed is fast, you can slow down by extend before and still crouching when going up on the ramp.
At the top(on coping) you need rotate shoulders first and get away preasure from back truck by banding or unbanding legs, like you want, depending of situation. To touch the coping gentle and not stop your kickturn. Remember, always keep preasure on toe when you rotating on coping before going down on the ramp.

@@slavaz7932 At the top, you say I can remove pressure from back truck by bending or extending my legs. I guess you mean that if I extend my legs (back leg when doing a slash), I will press the board down on the coping. And if I bend my legs (back leg when doing a slash), I will remove some pressure since my leg will work like a "shock absorber". Is that correct? Should I ever try to "pull up" my knees (back knee when doing a slash) towards my chest, like when doing an ollie?

I think this might be one of the hardest things to explain how to do. It’s such a feel thing. I have to agree with slavaz7932. Knowing how much speed you need is critical to getting to the coping. You will have to control your speed by either pumping up to the coping or bend your knees to absorb some of the speed to keep you under control at the coping. I wish I had the words to explain it for you.

Today i try to do kickturn on coping to give you right answer.
I'm tell you earlier about control speed on a ramp, how to do it because correct speed on coping is priority. In reality slow down is much harder to do then speed up.
-You need get right speed or bit slow and crouching when go on flat.
- Start extending just before you go up to the ramp, on a flat to correct speed and unload board(you can't get extra speed if you beeng on the ramp)
- Don't extend legs fully (bend legs need to keep balance)
- Near the coping load toe and start rotation.
- think about to do 50/50, but don't stop and continue rotation. Keep all weight on back truck and pressing toe all the time(get balance). Feel how you hanger continuously scratching coping(nice feeling!). Still pressing toe(it's provide safe catch on coping and give stability)
-When rotation is complete pull front hand down to ramp to direction where you want to go, crouching and move your weight on a front truck, like you want to drop.
What's all.
