Ok for an air what you need to do is get enough speed that you feel confortable with. You need to be about at a 45 degree angle so you can nail the landing. Then as you get to your apex then snap the tail down and guide it with your feet. Its not like street where you slide your foot up its just one motion. As you land make sure your board is semi-straight, Its better to practice it low and work your way up.

no wait do u mean mini ramps cos verts a whole different cup of tea...vert is like 2x the size and 2x the hardness, getting air on a vert is easy as going for a pee, u just need the speed...(from the drop in :() thats the hard bit...my freind did a vert overe here in sunny england about a week ago, it was kool and he is nuts but he still said its the hardest and scariest thing hes ever done, my advice for vert is to pump really really really high till you strt hovering over the ramp then go for a tail stall and then you got iy lol...easy as hairy pie :) by the way ramps are cool and m,uch better than street :p lol

Go street Go street lol.
I learnt how to do a 5-0 stall/grind(sometimes) on a miniramp by accident.
I droped in hard (so i get more speed) and wait until the VERY last sec and turn my board around and my back trucks grinds all by itself.
I like olliing on miniramps, as well as goin fakie then spinnin 360 or 540 degrees round again.

the hardest part of airs is landing. you want to land as close to the lip as possible, so you keep speed, but you don't want your back truck hanging up on the coping, so when your front truck hits, try to kinda nose manual to make sure you're still riding one you do an air :D

No one wants to learn vert becuase you either have to build a half-pipe or go to a skatepark, both of which are expensive. Also, some people don't even have a skatepark in their area to go to.

nobody wants to learn vert because street is a lot more popular these days, but there are still a few vert skaters :D

Everyone, this is his oppion, which means no one should reply with some snotty ass remark or anything like that. I don't want this people in this thread to start argueing so ignore what he said and continue your discussions.
