Great vid. What would be the best wheel shape and size in your opion for this ? Im 54 and wanting to learn this. a lot of people are telling me diffrent things. some say a bigger wheel around 63mm to 63mm then ive heard guys say 60mm shape wise as well its all over place.
Hi Bobby! thanks for your comment, good question! That would depend entirely on you as an individual. Those who like bigger wheels tend to stick to transition as they go faster, meaning you dont have to put in as much effort to keep going (thats from about 55mm right up to 60mm) If you enjoy skating street obstacles as well we would recommend sticking to something between the 52-54mm mark as its a great size to do a bit of everything! also the smaller the wheel, the less chance of hooking up on the coping!
I'm having issues with my upper body, I just can't figure out how to lean back, that will allow me to stay on top. I can do the stall when the board and my body are facing into the ramp. Any tips on this ? as It's the only part of vert i'm struggling with.
Try standing up nice and tall (your head is the heaviest part of your body so as long as your head is in the ramp your body will be too) also try leaning into your heels a bit more
I dont know why my feet I cant stay on the board when Im on the coping.I cant leaning back when Im on the coping so I always bailed and not stay on the coping. And I still failed to try axle drop in..
Try focusing on making sure your trucks are in the right position like in this video before trying the drop in and to do the stall make sure you lean into the ramp because standing up tall is probably what is making you bail on the top.. hope this helps!
Can I add: get some pads on inc wrist guards, for confidence, and learn axle-ins on a small small ramp (eg 2 foot) with coping if you can find one. Relax, swing shoulders as you axle in.

To be honest chris, you dont want to lean back too much, the key to a good one is keep your weight in the ramp :)
I can get into 50-50 and axle but my board is always inside the coping not on top. Any tips for getting up on top of the ramp?
