Trick Tips: Learn to do The Shenanigan
So not many people know about our Youtube, http://Youtube.com/LongboardNOW. Right now we don’t have many videos, we’ll add those but we do have a lot of favorite longboarding videos worth checking out and also our subscriptions probably interest you longboarders out there.
This is the trick tip for the shenanigan. It’s one of those smooth looking moves where you get off the board and it ends in a ghost kickflip with a 180 jump back onto the board. This move looks very slick and as long as you can catch your balance and land on the board, it’s a great one to add to your arsenal. I recommend mastering your ghost kickflip first though as you have to be pretty comfortable about jumping back on the board especially when your doing a backside 180 onto it. He’s riding a nice Gravity longboard that one of my friends has and has REDs bearings which are what I have on my old board. As always WEAR A HELMET!
How to Do a Tiger Claw on a Longboard
This guide is designed to showcase how to do a Tiger Claw or Flat Top on a Longboard for a regular stance, so if you ride goofy like me you would have to do everything the opposite way.
- Begin by standing with your main foot under the screws, towards the middle of your board and your back foot on the tail.
- Get your front foot of the board and the weight of your back foot on the tail will make the boards front flip up.
- Rotate your back foot to the left as the boards kicking up so the board pops to the right not straight up.
- Using your right hand, take hold of the front left edge of your board while you take a step forward with your back foot. (Your front foot is still on the ground)
- As the boards in the middle of its rotation, your right hand guides the rest of the 180 while you jump in the air with your back foot.
- Line up the board as you finish the revolution and jump on it!
Once your able to pop the board almost to a full 180 using your hang only to track it around, you can move on to a pressure flip. A pressure flip is the same but you kick out the 180 without using your hand and only take one step.
