Learning Frontside Airs On Mini Ramp!

Decided to pop into the skate park last night and meet up with some friends for a quick session which turned into us learning frontside airs on mini ramp. Always wanted to be able to do these so I’m psyched to have made some progress.

I just did love the content skateboarding save lives 👊

[@LordJHouse]

Trick to the Trick: Always mirror the angle when coming back in. If you hit it at 45 degrees, then your angle coming back in should be 45. Same with BS airs.

[@PONYBOYonline]

Anyone who needs this explained to them 100% puts their shoes on the wrong feet and skates with their trucks facing backwards.

[@bleachvisionTV]

Is this rule works for handplant too?

[@timwooten6776]

That’s the only way I can do frontside Ollie’s. I can’t do straight on. Just doesn’t work.. plus my limit is 4-5 foot mini.

[@bh2861]

@@PONYBOYonline it's clear you are the one who needed this more than anyone else

[@Dylan-li2nf]

Pony boy I see what you mean that it sounds obvious when you think about it but it’s actually really helpful because you might not think of that when trying it so it could help if you keep it in mind!

[@Spridium1Jono]

Damn you’ve got those feeble to fakies on lock! Such sick style!

[@dudeskates1233]

I just learned these yesterday so fun

[@ubrs100]

Dude I’ve been looking for a tutorial for this trick for a long time, thank you for uploading this!

[@Liqui17]

That must feel so good! Makes me want to learn them as well. Just ollied my first eight stair the other day. Thanks for the video Chad 🙏

[@vabp8985]

It's awesome how skaters can learn certain tricks at different speeds, Chad is pretty much a mini ramp master but couldn't frontside air, meanwhile I learned them while I couldn't even axle stall properly

[@vabp8985]

@Trala La i have no idea of what you're trying to say but sure

[@ahmedaman3416]

"It's a frontside air" at the end in Patrick voice killed me 🤣

[@benmoor2727]

The ones you made honest to God looked smooth as ya like!! Big up from London brixton!!

[@white_spvces]

I'm so scared of learning airs, thanks for the inspiration 💖

[@qazint3349]

I re learnt these yesterday! So fun

[@boto-do-esgoto769]

Nice moves

[@Stan-fm1vr]

Would love to know more details. I hear people bonk their trucks off of the coping, others ollie into theirs. Would like to know what approach you took.

[@TheOskar300]

I think that manly depends on the ramp. If its a vert ramp you can fly high very easily, if it's a small miniramp you need to pop the board

[@chaovisuals1773]

I was learning these the other day with no grab and the commitment was so hard 😂

[@owenpaullucas6882]

king chad!

[@bealthebuilder8013]

Beast!

[@mrthirty1139]

This is awesome man! Hoped you would attempt them one day

[@madbaz77]

Sick

[@camelo1495]

the disciples are waiting.....MASTER

[@weednose1918]

Love that face after he landed it the first time 😂

[@djj_tw_s9276]

Where is this park? Around Boston?

[@davidpagliaro5457]

What deck is that?

[@codeineking9405]

My frontside airs began on a 9ft drop in😂

[@beemelonhead1]

This on 5 or 6 footer? I wanna learn bs airs so bad but they scare the poo out me

[@changui2012]

Dude learning them has a steezy frontside air

[@apa7676]

Is tanner opened !?

[@ChadCaruso]

Yup!

[@tog5490]

I can't tap the tail on a mini ramp in the first place.😩 It's too scary. I only can do an ollie on the flat ground.

[@jimg1504]

How tall is that ramp?

[@ChadCaruso]

6ft

[@secretskater855]

And frontside mute grabs are called "slobs"

Nothing looks better on a ramp then a i r s Backside is King tho

Watch Grant Taylor. He knows what to do!

[@ChadCaruso]

Yes he does

[@lawsonsnnewn3988]

Anyone know what brand his board is ?

[@ChadCaruso]

[@Nataliesk8s]

What skatepark isthat?

[@ChadCaruso]

Tanner park in copiague ny

[@dazedcoelho1734]

Is this a mini? 😂 looks big

[@donaldduck7669]

Dude Sounds Like crazy flatspots...but nice vid

[@wolfnetwork1]

Hahaha yow waddup patrick star

[@gonzalolopez9360]

Yo wat up Patrick star

[@RobertoLopez-kl5tx]

Doing airs on mini ramps with no vert makes no sense to me!!! I can only air with ramps that have vert by bonking the coping!! Sick tho

[@mrmug4000]

Stinkbugs**** ;))

[@MessinaDance]

Ready for the tutorial when you got everything figured out!

[@markgaudreau8053]

me too

[@19Ryan87]

Me three 🙌🏼

[@VaizardDaishi]

Yes!

[@BudChronicles]

The advice he gave was honestly the best 😂😂that’s how I’ve been learning new things for years, just have one of your boys who can’t do it; land it first, and boom, back that shit up

[@Delamthedestroyer]

My heart was beating faster just watching this. I know this trick is in my future i just have to muster the cojones to commit.

[@Dan-oj9xp]

Checking in from the past. Hows the trick coming?

[@KyleAndersonSkates]

man this really makes me want to go out and try to get one! wish my local was open!!

[@sean640]

Right!!?🙌

[@LILSEMEN-rx3mh]

I hopped the gate at my local tried one ate shit I’m now suffering jitters

[@tolugo87]

Me too man, almost 15 years without skating, suddenly this urge came from inside out, it's like a wake up calling or something.

[@mstals88]

Open it! I took down the fence at my park and shoveled the sand and dirt out. Cops passed right by. It’s called a peaceful protest or something.

[@danhabu4731]

" Tuck the knee on your frontside airs." Jeff Grosso

[@robertolopez5999]

YESSSSS

[@wantmeX]

yes but why it is so hard? now, sometime i prefer to do a stalefish because it fuck my mind up when i think if i grab between or behind the knee...

[@anthonyjarrett1981]

I think his friend is tucking his knee. That's what I was looking for too.

[@johnandreadavis3024]

always grab around your back knee on a frontside or indy air (backside) and try to poke that front leg forward. you have an awesome array of lip tricks but it's time to start doing airs!

[@coreyduffel]

Thank you :)

[@larelare1]

Dude's friend had a mean frontside - grabbing way up on the board.

[@robertolopez5999]

Proper indy airs are between the legs foo (FS airs do need that knee tucked tho)

[@coreyduffel]

larry thomas no such trick as a frontside indy. Indy grab is always backside.

[@mediummfg5384]

Damn, there is a grown up on a scooter there. Never seen anything like that before...

[@nathanielgeremia7331]

Chad, I started skating again about 2 years ago now roughly around the time you started really making content for your channel. I built a mini ramp in my back yard and I can't tell you how much you've helped me with thinking of new tricks and working on easy ways to make progression that is observable. I also just got my wheels and shirt from your wheel company, love that I can support you monetarily. I really can't think of a skate company/person that deserves it more. Thank homie and keep doing what you're doing!

[@RussRockwell]

*STINKBUG!*

[@jubei3219]

This is how you practice dudes joking, talking,and enjoying their own skating..not everyone checking their Instagram, and acting "gangsta"

[@robertodelatorre1464]

A good fella told me do ollies in mini ramp works better if thinking like you're doing alley-oop. In that way you're gonna go straight and jumps to up. Anyway, the guy with the grey tshirt is jumping to a side instead to up, but the style is pretty cool, kinda Gonzo.. so who cares..LOL... but, seriously, I saw friends who just fly in front ollies without need much speed, just they do kinda alley-oop.

[@doktor_faust]

Dude you're the god of liptrips, but i love to see you struggle on the same stuff as i do, like the learning inverts vid or this one. Amazing! Continue progressing!

[@roycegeenty4252]

When I was a grommie,and I did fs airs with my arm between my legs,the grandmasters would yell "STINKBUG!". like Grosso said,you gotta tuck your knee

[@tinormous-road2gains13]

Yes bro that made me smile truly inspired I’m 34 just started skateboarding and I’ll be trying this by the end of my first year IA 🤘🏽

[@ChadCaruso]

Get it!

[@dizzychizzy1]

Sick bro... best tip I can give ya is just ride the board... to shops etc... when the board and balance become one trick will be so much easier.

[@dizzychizzy1]

But thats inspiring bro, good on ya.

[@7c9ND2el]

1:40 - Pulling the trick and the expression afterward...I totally remember the feeling!

[@Fadem12forReal]

Giggles in the background through the whole video

[@gabedao-pick1222]

I wanna see you start grabbing around the knee! Great progress

[@anthonyjarrett1981]

I was wondering when someone was going to say you need to tuck your knee.

[@vinnyplace1269]

these look so pleasing to get down I bet .

[@drewmiller9590]

I got lucky learning these on a mini ramp, being probably 13 and the cool older kids that I lived to bother in those days being there I had no choice but to commit off the bat and learn them quickly lol

[@davidharris4030]

One of the last times I went to a park I was in my late 40s. I hadn’t been riding in a lot of years because I couldn’t afford getting hurt with the good paying job. Well I started getting comfortable and just cruising around the park doing frontside and backside grinds. Then I decided to see if I could still do frontside airs. The ramp size was about exactly like the one in the video. Here I go and setting myself up to attempt my first frontside air in probably 20 years. I am ready and fully committed and so everything went to perfection except one little detail. My back trucks hang up coming back in. Fortunately I didn’t get hurt and was able to work. Dang I miss skating but it’s definitely a young man’s sport!😂🤙

[@secretskater855]

Ill never forget when i did my first late grabbed,ollied in,frontside air...i was beaming, and i looked at the grandmasters,and one went "poooo,stinkbug..."

[@MikeSenese]

Love this! Nice one Chad. You gotta get a still of that expression on your face at the 1:43 mark!!

[@chellodise]

Amazing video, watching u skate just makes me want to go out and try these tricks lol

[@Levi-qm5cg]

Are you bonking the coping? Or are you popping an ollie in the transition? Vert ramp skaters will tell you to bonk, but I always wondered about airs on miniramps, since its not vertical. it seems that popping is necessary

[@Happycamper10]

The quarter pipe I’m learning these on is less vertical not as tall or wide, I’m trying to learn to get a little higher above coping on this ramp over a foot is what I’m looking for but concerned about catching the coping, or going off the side, any advise I have video on channel showing me doing some need advise to get higher on them.

[@James-ip5gz]

Maybe the reason the board is leaving your feet is because you need to work on your mobility?

[@SkatePhresh101]

I ain’t gonna watch this whole video because that cover stinkbug AF!

[@ChadCaruso]

Gotta start somewhere! Also, it got you to click. Appreciate the pointless hate brother!

[@SkatePhresh101]

Chad Caruso honestly it truly was pointless hate. Get these kids to do some rad airs bro!

[@nikara8280]

Thanks chad. Chad is such a Chad. They should have a country named chad because of how cool chad is, oh shit chad is a country, chad should skate in chad because he’s such a chad.

[@Unoriginal3]

Seriously your first airs Man you are such a full commitment skater

[@baker4207]

Just wanted to say thx 🙏🏻 Chad I’ve been skating since I was 14 I’m 36 now took a long hiatus due to knee and back issues and you’ve given me confidence to just commit being old lol sometimes your mind gets in the way

[@robertbettis6552]

hell yea, frontside air is sick , feable grind fakie lookin styley too bro!!!!

[@leredditcommander8208]

Considering that this guy is the master of feeble to fakie im not even going to bother trying to frontside like this. LOL

[@redlion45]

Is your buddy wearing a bunger sayville tee? If so, glad to see those dudes getting some love.

[@Nick-ny1fk]

Very epic and bro you look just like Rob Schneider! You can do it!!

[@Klove1281]

theres not a single park in my state that has a mini ramp thats high quality like this. not really any mini ramps in general so im afraid ill never get to learn this stuff rip

[@andrewswalls]

You need to do a video and show us good was to fall to get less hurt. With and without the skateboard.

[@AMKx2]

i personally found that launching instead of popping into fs airs was way easier

[@Surefirejon]

I've wanted to get these down for a long time. You shred Chad!

[@Sk8Comeback]

Awesome watch man! I want these so bad!

[@darrinsiberia]

chad is trying indie the kid who went first did a mute grab

[@cakebabyman5090]

I don't think this is a FS air, more like a FS ollie grab.

[@RollOut]

I literally practiced this one only for one hour non-stop today. Got some but tomorrow will be a good day for me =)

[@TheTomexification]

Those aren't airs but ollies. And indys are grabed under the knee.

[@rockstarmyles]

If you had a higher vert and a little more speed would it be easier?

[@Old_man_Rob]

Grabbing with the leading hand going front side is called a "slob air" . Going backside is a mute. The skate nerd in me can't say anything 😆😆😆

[@ismaelchavez6650]

Frontside indys dont exist 😤😤😤

[@reidellis1988]

That's a slob air. There is no frontside mute.

[@fromgreyskiesabove4478]

Yooo i haven't been to this park in years man

[@seanarooni]

showoff! *huge feeble to fakie for a setup trick*

[@jay999tv]

I can’t grab my fs air I just Ollie it been trying to grab it for so long now

[@dellyrosexcoastnobodycoast8721]

I needed this vid . Is exactly what I want to do and struggling with . Even on the smallest verts

[@markgaudreau8053]

it def helps to have buddies who can land them and get you pumped up!!!!

[@jonathanwalker8310]

Your voice sounds the same as neen Williams

[@skater_scott]

that was so sweet! looked awesome!

[@luis_sk8963]

So for them a mini ramp is a 5ft ramp ok 👍🏻

[@camelo1495]

just waiting for that tutorial as well mate

[@ramon6656]

wish my local have a miniramp like this

[@scumbagthe5500]

That ramp is soooo slow, but good job man

[@danegoodwin3057]

So much easier on tony hawk

[@PPYTAO]

I’m a newbie and still learning. How come these are called Frontside if you’re turning to your backside? I would have guessed these were Backside if it wasn’t in the title.

[@AbcdeF-zv4xh]

Frontside and backside describe which direction you’re turning but can be really confusing for beginners 😂 (trust me I remember). Frontside refers to the fact that his frontside is facing out of the ramp. Backside would refer to the fact that his back is facing out.

[@PPYTAO]

Iz Greenawalt thanks bro 🙏 every extra little bit of knowledge helps me understand what I’m seeing and slowly I’m learning to name the tricks and stances 🤘

[@XSProgression]

So sick! Looks like a few feet over the coping! Massive! Congrats on the new trick man!

[@mullitia1066]

It's simple,tuck the knee.

[@srvmotoman]

When you like and realize you're the 666th like....not today Satan....not today. I'll be back tomorrow to like. Ha!
