To get started, make sure you can ride your skateboard very easy. The first thing you need to learn is that when you turn use your toes and your heels to turn left or right, depending on your stance whether you're regular or goofy. This will change linear weight towards whichever way you want to turn if you want to turn right and your toes are pointed to that direction. lean towards your toes. If you want to turn left in your heels are pointed in that direction. lean towards your heel.
Make sure to bend your knees and stay balanced so you stay on your board and still turn smooth. Next is to learn how to turn a full one and have a turn up and down banks keep your front foot covering the bolts of your board with the back foot covering the tail whichever way you want to turn whether it be front side backside, you'll use the same motions for each of these, use your back foot, depress down on your tail and lean into the turn. Whichever way you're going to use your front foot to swing the board around, keeping your foot on the bolts of the board to help you stay back. Use your front foot to help lead you in the board around. Practice this motion of background so you can do it very easily. Then you're gonna do the exact same motions on a bank to ride up and down the bank.
This is called a back side or front side. You can also use this on quarter pipes for backside and front side pins. Alright guys, now you've mastered how to turn. It's time to take it to the streets. But most of all, stay safe and have fun. Don't forget to like, comment and share with your friends.
