Try to make the most out of the transition and the little bumps on the runway of the quarterpipe. |
Visualize yourself doing the trick before you take off. |
Tell yourself that you are not going to speed check. |
The less you use your edges, the faster you will go. |
Start straightening your body when you reach the transition. |
When you feel that the lip is only a microsecond away, straighten your front leg slightly. |
Hold on to your grab and poke it with style and grace. |
Now you should be coming around and able to spot your landing. |
The longer you hold it, the better you will look. |
