Tip 1: your riding the wrong board... Get off the
keys and get on some wheels.
Tip 2: don't ask silly questions, you'll get silly
answers.
Tip 3: videos won't help.. experience, practice and
balance will. Try to skate with someone who can
do them, and with people who are learning them,
learning together is a great way to get tips and
minor details that are sometimes over looked, like
setting up for a big standy.
Tip 4: always be prepaired to bail, get lots of
speed and be confident in your set up, your not
going to learn them on a board you just bought,
you want to be comfortable and nimble, like an
extension of yourself. Wheels are important, but
that's not your question.
Tip 5: get speed and lean, it's all in the hips.
