So you want to know how to go off a curb on a skateboard? Well, it’s not as easy as it looks. You’re going to need some practice, but once you get the hang of it, you’ll be able to do it like a pro!

First things first: Do not attempt this trick until you’ve mastered the Ollie. You can find out how to do that here.

Once you’ve got the Ollie down, it’s time to start practicing your curb-hops. The best way to do this is by finding an empty parking lot or driveway and riding up and down while focusing on popping off the curb every time. Don’t worry too much about landing in the middle of the street — just focus on getting off the curb smoothly and consistently.

If you find yourself constantly landing on your back wheels instead of popping off the curb, try adjusting your stance so that your back foot is closer to your front foot (instead of being right beside it). This will make it easier for your board to roll over onto its side when you pop off the curb while also giving you more control over where those wheels go after they land back on flat ground again.
