That crossing of the shoulders/hip movement is so crucial, that's what really help me find that sweet spot like a swing dancing motion.

Nice tips Chad. I just recently learnt pivot fakies after struggling for months... I found the one thing that really helped was re-learning BS axle stall to fakie first. Seems like there are 2 main ways to come in from BS axle stall to fakie; 1) sliding in by pointing both you toes down or 2) pivoting out and holding the manual. The sliding method is easier but the pivoting out method is much more similar motion to a pivot to fakie. Re-learning using the pivoting out method made me really focus on the locking heel/releasing toe movement that you mention and also learning how to twist my upper body (that twist/untwist is also critical). Once you have really got that down then the pivot to fakie is the same motion but just keeping your front truck up. A few other tips would be to come straight up the ramp and leave the pivot to the last moment. Also keep your weight inside the ramp as if you get too far on top it feels difficult to pivot out. Hope these additional tips help someone as this trick was a real struggle!

Chad my bro you are one of my biggest inspirations to skate you got all these how to skate videos, helping the youth and all that good stuff. Thabk bro keep at it

These tutorials are money, Not a lot of this on KZfaq especially from someone who knows who knows what they are talking about. 🤘

So glad to see you making trick tips again! I gave up on these after taking lots of slams on them and this has got me pumped to try them again!

Perfect timing for this video release for me, this is my latest hurdle with transitions. Thanks as always!

Hey Chad. Loving your transition tips. Appreciate your efforts!

Hey Chad. Thanks for the tips. Yes, these are about the hardest tricks to do on vert in my opinion. I've struggled with them for a long while. I was especially happy to hear your tip regarding front side revert. I've seen you do them in many videos and wished I could do those. But I'll give them a try now and see what happens. Thanks allot man.

This is super helpful man, wow. Thanks for making this video. As for beginner sk8ters, it can be a tough hurdle when no one shows you.

You the man Chad thanks for all the help.

Thanks Chad. I’ve been wanting to get these switch ever since I saw your straight 8 vid. Going to try these techniques and see what shakes out

Great video! Such a great explanation. Heel lock, toe go back in. Manny it out, the bigger the transition, the less you have to hold the manual.

Yes Chad you're back! This trick still escapes me...going to give it a try yet again 😬

Thank you for the tips man. I hope to learn these soon

the tips on the backside pivot really got me thinking i can do it

Was just thinking about this trick, thanks for the help!

very good tips! cant wait for my new local to open and learn these!

I needed this, cheers bud!

Gunna go learn these this weekend

Always enjoy the information. Another slides and style video would be good. Thanks

Yes!!! Chad is fully back!!!

I needed this.

Hey Chad thanks for making these tutorial videos they're super helpful and pushing me beyond my comfort zone as i have no one to skate with. I'm a returning skater coming back after 10 years at 36 from badly breaking my left humerus skating bowl. I also tore my meniscus and fractured my left tibia in two places from a motorcycle accident in 2015 which limits my abilities these days. When I was young I used to skate tech/street on 7.5" boards with 129 indys and 50mm wheels. Now I'm trying to get into transition on a bigger board with looser trucks (8.25, 144s and 54mm) as they've just built a 5 foot bowl in town with a 7' extension. I've got a few of my old tricks back, bs 50, bs/fs 5 0, disasters, nose pick disasters fs and bs. I've liked and subbed, keep it up and much love all the way from Western Australia 🇦🇺

great explanation

thx bro!! this helping me a lot

Been battling these for ages! The bit that gets me is the feeling of the wheel rolling back over the coping, always seems to stick very slightly putting me off. I can manual to fakie hitting back wheels on coping but as soon as the wheel goes over it just feels totally different

Superb !!

I legit asked you for this thank you so much!!!

1:31 This is the best tip for anyone.

Yo Chad, love your videos. I was looking for some footage of yours where you was talking about mastering all the pivots, FS/BS and switch. You was saying if you do this you can easily do any other trick. Is this true?

Thanks

This seems like this trick would help a lot with learning blunt to fakie

Nice tutorial

I slammed a couple years ago trying to learn this trick on a steep bank ramp. I was coming back in with my weight on my toes and just didn't get the board turned far enough back so my body wanted to come back correctly but my board was angled and I slipped out. Smashed my chin on the concrete, broke a finger, and got a concussion.

I'm the switch pivot guy he's talking about lol, I plan to learn regular pivot fakie on something bigger then a 2 foot quarter this summer

One thing I've noticed trying this again is that there's actually a lot more weight required on your front foot to stop you jumping off Very counterintuitive

Man wtf it’s like you read my mind, was battling pivot fakie today

I have had feeble to fakie on lock for years, but for some reason I can not pivot to fakie without doing a little pop, like a blunt to fakie. Need to figure out how to nudge it in like this.

Can you go through front side air ?

Rad Chad!

Nice

I'm stuck with this fucking trick!!!

Epic

Good video, but can u show ur failed ones too, and explain what u did wrong, please.. mby next tricktips

I think the switch pivot is easier because you sort of naturally are looking back towards where you are going. I can do pivot to fakie, but switch pivot is so much easier it's not even funny. The thing that helped me was rolling up a quarter, and then holding a manual as I rolled back down to the flat. Because that's the feeling you need to clear the front truck and not hang up. As always, thanks for the video, always like seeing what you have to say!

Yo!!! Good that u back!!! I am wondering what wheelsize u skate the most on miniramps?!? And yeah! Fuck the siggs, and the booze! Good job bro!!! Peace from Norway👊

Steezy

I was trying to learn feeble to fakie yeaterday, should I be trying to learn these first?? Seems like a very similar trick to coming back in. Thanks for the tips!!!

What up Chad!

CHAD I FIGURED IT OUT YOU GOTTA LEARN FEEBLE TO ROCK TO LEARN HOW TO ACTUALLY SLIDE YOUR WHEELS IN FAKIE

These help, but skating around friends and people who are trying to get better make it so much easier. It’s a vibe that you can’t describe EDIT: you can describe it 100%, but it just sounds better the way I worded it 😉
