Fakie Riding

Fakie riding involves riding the board backwards. No longer is the tip going down the hill.

Listen to the tip.
A rider is using the same principles as normal riding, but now you have a new front foot.


Front Foot Pressure
Start on your edge with tail going down the hill. Stand up while putting a lot of weight on your new front foot.

Look in that direction, get the board flat and drive to your new edge.

Fakie riding is a whole new experience and should be done on general terrain at first.

Take your time executing the Fakie slowly. If you rush the Fakie you will catch your edge too early.


Reverse Foot Placement

Riding Fakie!
Remember your tail is your tip, use the same riding style as if you were riding normally - edge, flat, edge and repeat.

Good luck with Fakie riding.

Watch the tip! (AVI, 680kb)
