the easiest way to caveman is to hold the board by the nose, jump up and slightly forward (as in towards your front leg) and simply place the board under your feet. its also alot easier if you get the board onto your feet while still in the air. practise on flat and off of objects onto grass.

that would be an acid drop a cave man is when you grab the center....
the way i learned is to slip it out from your feet then staighten ur board out andf throw it underneath you

there really easy,just jump.grab ur board by the nose,swing it in front of u[be4 u jump!],and while u r swinging it,hit ur front foot on the front trucks[right below ur hand holding the nose of the board],kinda hop a little,and slam that front food down,u should be able 2 land it easy.i think its a confidence thing.o yea,and practicing on grass[like ^^said]builds ur confidence in landing,and helps u git used 2 the overall feel of the trick.

you just cant be scared of landing a little hard. that was my problem when i was just starting to skate. it is a really simple trick that takes some balls.

[sk8rpunk9199]

guess wut after doin it in the grass a few times walked over to my driveway and jumped and landed it but then fell. i landed it once completly but the other itmes i like get both feet on it and then i just fall off the front of the board
help?

wrong. youve been playing too much tony hawk.

An acid drop is when you simply roll off a ledge/curb or stairs without ollieing.

caveman is when you hold your board in any grip and place it under your feet.

myy friend claims i do a mike valley style bomb drop when i like 180 in air while i do acid drop...ever heard of that trick?

help?if u did it on a hill,dont.if u dident,u gotta lean forward a little more[probably]

[sk8rpunk9199]

no its not a hill

[WillSk8ForFood]

I find it easier to do like a handflip and land on it. Even though its prolly not a caveman, its fun regardless.
