Stair Riding??

[StevoElSupremo]

I saw a guy on a skate Vid of mine do like a stair ride...he didnt ollie the set, but he like rode down it, if anyone knows what I mean and knows how to do it can you post up a trick tip, please? :)

[spenser]

its called a firecracker.

what movie was it? my first guess is that the guy was ragdoll, cause he does those more than most people.........


if you want to learn them, try them on a 3 set first id say. you dont need much speed to do it on 3 stairs, so.. well dont go SLOW, but yeah. basicaly just ride straight at the set with your back foot on the tail and your front one maybe on the front bolts. just ride down and keep your weight more towards the back and put a little pressure on the tail.

dont let yourself float out over the set.. just let your tail drop off and hit the steps.


its super easy but its weird to give a trick tip for... you might just have to see it done.. i think that would have helped me more the first time i tried one.

[StevoElSupremo]

yea I just didnt know how to do it, it looked more complicated then it is I guess, thanx for helpin me anyways man :-41:

[edward]

yeah ragdolls the best but theres been some others starting to do them. but hes still the only one i've seen ollie a double or triple set out to the last set and firecracker it. ollie out to firecracker santa monica triple set? hes crazy. yeah i'd say you need almost enough speed to where you can roll the set (just kinda roll off and clear it). just alittle slower than that. it helps if you try it on a set where the stairs are longer. just lean back and hold on.

[spenser]

yeah, that ollie out to firecracker stuff is cool.


firecrackers are lots of fun.

yeah he ollies a double set but on the second does the firecracker, i think its insane. first i tried just going downa a 2 set and tapping the last step. then my first real one i did was a 4.

the trick to firecrackers is just popping a little manual, and to actually ride down you need to kinda manual off the first stair and do the rest. like i said, i did a 4 and i manualed like the first stair and actully was riding on the last 3. with a 10 stair i might say you would manual the first 2, correct me if i'm wrong.

Start with a little mannie. then just keep yer weight on yer back foot untill you hit the last step, then just step off. nice and easy.

[smurf88]

Those are fun. It can't be very good for the board, though.

[Dookie416]

yeah it makes clearly visible marks after like 5 of them

[spenser]

it doesnt hurt the board.. like.. structurally.. just visibly. but that doesnt matter.

[I_Eat_Emo_Kids]

it gives you razortail. which ruins the pop.

[spenser]

no, it doesnt give you razortail, because youre not sliding on your tail like that. you just smack it. it just rubs the paint off or whatever on the tail.

youd only get razortail from it if you did it A LOT. and im talking A LOT.

[goofy m3ng]

I have never tryd this before. Im gonna try it on a set tomorrow afternoon with a few friends

[andrewri]

here's how........ i only did it down 8 set stair. i go fast but not super fast. when you apraoch it put your wieght on back foot but put a little bit on your front foot. welll.....its hard to explain. you just gotta try it i guess
