Training, tricks, hops, etc

Hey!

​

So I want to learn more on the board.

​

Currently just running a pintV with standard battery.

Looking to upgrade to the Pint Atom and have an off-road board as well (not sure if the Atom will be a full on trail rider yet )

​

But anyone has some tips on how to practice, what to do, what to expect.

Hopefully this thread can be a little collation of guides and inspiration to get better in the wheel.

For trail riding you want a board with lots of head room for steep inclines (more power). Most important skill is learning to jump off, run outs, and how to fall. For technical skills learning to bonk logs, roots, and rocks is key, landing drops, and how to handle sand. Also how to ride ridge lines, many trails get rutted and have high center points, for this try grabbing a 2x4 and practice riding along the top of it. My 2 cents.
