Do a Turndown
A turn down is a fairly easy scooter trick that looks impressive. You can do it flatland if you can bunnyhop high enough, but it is recommended at a skatepark, where you will get more air.
Contents
Steps
- Ride along at a decent speed.
- If you are doing it flat, bunnyhop as high as you can. If at a park, launch off a ramp or quarterpipe.
- Kick the deck out at between 45 and 90 degrees with both feet still on the deck, while turning the handlebars 180 degrees the other way.
- Try to punch your outside hand down towards your hip. Remember to keep your outer arm and legs straight for maximum extension.
- Hold this position for as long as you want/can.
- Turn the bars back around & bring the deck back.
- Land & roll away.
- Make a video of it. It's a cool trick to film.
Tips
- Try just the whip first, & add the half bar spin when you are confident
- Try taking one or both feet off the deck for other variations.
Warnings
- Record yourself do you can see what you do wrong.
- Wear a helmet.
- Make sure you have a decent stunt scooter- a JD bug at the least, but preferably a Slamm or a MGP, Grit, Lucky, Blazer pro, AO, District, Crisp, DSA dominator and a Urban Art brand
- Practice somewhere with a soft landing.
- Practice with some friends so they can help you to practice new tricks.
