Top 5 Ways | to do bigger standies

Are you looking to up your stand up game and take advantage of the playground of gnar in your back yard? Follow these tips and you’ll improve faster than you thought possible. Also check out our “Top 5 Ways to Improve Your DH Skills” video for people who want to go fast and grip hard! Summary: 1. Hard Cap Knee Pads Get comfortable falling onto your knees to gain confidence going faster and get hurt less which = more skating + longer slides. Many people don’t like how they look and feel, but even if you use them only for learning big stand up slides, it will pay off. The fastest way to learn is to go faster and fall more. Hard pads will allow you to do this without hurting yourself. 2. Turn Into it More Try turning your upper body to face more downhill. It’s easier to hold out. It also makes for potentially worse high sides. Practice slowly by: •Sliding to a full stop sideways •Holding out 180’s These exercises also get you used to how your wheels push back more near the end of a long slide. 3. Arm Position Watch videos of favourite riders. Take note of different arm positions in slides. Try all different positions yourself. Use the one that works best. I suggest comparing: •Byron Essert •Kevin Reimer •Louis Pilloni 4. Film Yourself A great way to find and correct mistakes. It often feels better than it looks. Ask friends for feedback and compare your technique to your favourite pros. 5. Control the Variables •Wheels •Steepness •Pavement They either work for or against you. Sometimes you just need different wheels and a new hill. If you’re light weight, consider extra slidy wheels.
