Make sure you can Ollie up and over the obstacle. So go up like a 5050 but then slight shifty but the trick to getting locked in and being able to slide is keeping your weight back. A lot of times you’ll just stick and not go anywhere that’s cuz you are to forward.

Do it like a 5-0, and start butting your front Truck down. But still lean back. Dont press the front Truck towards the Curb, that makes you slip away.

A frontside standup 5-0 is a good starter trick for a front smith. Instead of locking your front truck ON the coping, dip it in FRONT of the coping. Dont forget to keep your speed up. Too slow and youll just dig in and stop. Keep skatin!
