I like the floating feeling you get on quarterpipes, it feels like youre hanging in the air and you can with no trouble grab anywhere on the board. One of the most fun tricks on a QP is the air to fakie.
Airs to fakies are also one of the easiest tricks. All you have to do is ride straight at the QP on your shred stick. I like this trick because of its simplicity. An air to fakie is basically the same thing as straight airing a jump, except the QP shoots you straight up in the air so you land in the same spot you took off. All you have to do is ride straight at the QP.
When approaching a QP, pick a straight line up the wall and stay totally flat-based while riding up the transition. If you get on edge, you may go flinging left or rightyou wont go as big. Always keep your knees bent.
When you reach the top of the lip, you dont need to pop much, keep your body solid and let the QP do all the work for you. Remember: Like hips and wallrides, start out small to feel out the transition, then you can send it. So, now youve left the lip, try to stay composed. Fly up in the air and grab the board. I like to grab frontside.
Youre floating and tweaked-out...
