How to Fakie Stall and Fakie Air Out on Roller Skates | Trick Tutorial

[@birdfriday]

Getting your ass over the deck is SO crucial to fakie stalls. Also the chest up thing is something I didn’t even think of. You’re an amazing teacher

[@ShortysSkateSeries]

Thank you!

[@nicolerichards5122]

please never stop making tutorials!! this helped me determine my issues in fakie stance and why I can barely hold a stall!

[@ShortysSkateSeries]

Thank you and congrats on your fakie and stalling.

[@skitsosalad]

I don’t know what I would do without you - this video made me realise everything I’m doing wrong and why fakies are so hard for me. I’m excited to try again now!

[@ShortysSkateSeries]

Yay! If you have any issues feel free to message me here or on IG @shortstop.6

🔥🔥 video

[@ShortysSkateSeries]

Thanks!

[@Szido13]

Wow. Another top notch tutorial - I mean you show all the process to detail - wow :) a lot of work I imagine but this is just incredible. I did love how you staged the steps so informative and all angles plus added the issues part. Bravo.

[@ShortysSkateSeries]

Thank you very much!

[@emilybarker28]

Fakie stalls is my next thing to pin down and this was super helpful! Shall be rewatching before I get to the ramps again! Thank you!

[@ShortysSkateSeries]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Prince_Charming_1]

Thank you for the excellent high quality content on how to fakie air out! You're the best skating instructor!!!

[@ShortysSkateSeries]

Thank you so much!

[@andreayun]

I keep watching this video. By the end of the video, I feel like I can conquer fakie stalls. And then the minute I'm in the park and my back wheels are about to touch the coping, all of that confidence fizzles. Getting closer each time, though. Thank you so much for your tutorials!!

[@ShortysSkateSeries]

Thank you! And keep it up, you'll get there!

[@arielleobrien3321]

Why did I wait so long to watch this. I've been drilling my fakie stalls for almost two months. And I still struggle locking onto the coping. Now that I've watched this, I think it's almost definitely my fakie stance that needs improvement. I can't wait to take this new info into the park.

[@ShortysSkateSeries]

You've got it!

[@letsgobro2899]

Thanks for you videos !There is so much useful informations on your channel. I used to ride alone and it was difficult to me to find solutions, get technics and adivses ... But now I got you. I know this must represent a lot of work so thank you very much !!!

[@ShortysSkateSeries]

Thank you for the kind words. I skate solo too as roller skating isn't popular in South Korea. I used to love coaching roller derby so I find doing these videos a great way to connect with other skaters.

[@TheJACBAJO]

You are awesome when you are teaching

[@ShortysSkateSeries]

Thank you!

[@brittwilliams8217]

Thanks so much for this tutorial. Such clear instructions and troubleshooting. With your help I'm now able to get my hips back and heels over the coping. I just have to work on getting more weight into my heels and finish the extension. Thanks again! 🙂

[@ShortysSkateSeries]

Glad it helped!

[@brittwilliams8217]

It did thanks! I finally got the extension now yay! 😁

[@elizabethb.3351]

Pretty sure my chest being down is why I have so much trouble! This is a game changer, thank you!

[@ShortysSkateSeries]

Happy to help!

[@lizstanton6664]

Every single tutorial you do is pure gold!! I cannot wait to try this one, I’ve been scared of the fakie stall for too long

[@ShortysSkateSeries]

I was scared of fakie stalls too, but working on my fakie stance and looking behind me helped me a lot. Good luck!

[@crashjackson3689]

excellent!! can't wait for the snow to melt, so i can try these.

[@ShortysSkateSeries]

Have fun!

[@Ayykat15]

Ahh I've been so intimidated by this move 😅 to the point where ill bail out if my wheels hit the coping in the back! These tips might actually help me land one soon!! 😆

[@ShortysSkateSeries]

You can do it!

[@-Grom-]

I really like your step by step tutorials, thx Shorty ; )

[@ShortysSkateSeries]

You're welcome!

[@sidneyn1366]

The video I’ve been waiting for!!! I’ve had so much trouble with pumping/ mini ramp because I’ve started clipping the coping when I’m going fakie and then I bail and can’t keep momentum. Now I have things to try!

[@ShortysSkateSeries]

Happy to help! You got this!

[@Gleeeby]

Hehehe, the guy in the bike helmet at 4:05 lmao. Awesome tutorial Shorty, keep up the amazing work!

[@ShortysSkateSeries]

Hey, thanks!

[@MJDWildlifeGarden]

Really great vid, thanks so much! I keep overshooting and falling forward, but fun. Chest up!!!

[@ShortysSkateSeries]

You can do it!

Best and most useful skating tutorials! Great job!

[@ShortysSkateSeries]

Glad you like them!

[@strangerpainter]

Thank you so much for this video. I tried to fakie stall and i recently fell and got injured for a month, trying to do it. Now i will try again while keeping this in mind. You technique is amazing.

[@ShortysSkateSeries]

Thank you! Good luck!

[@joannaapistola1090]

Awesome video once again!! Thank you!!

[@ShortysSkateSeries]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ShakmaGeebes]

Excellent tutorial, as always! I am comfortable with this trick, but your videos always have such great insights. You do such a great job explaining the details, and the reasons behind the details! I know I'll be sharing some of these tips when people ask me for advice at the skatepark. I'll give you credit, though! 👍🏽😁🛼

[@ShortysSkateSeries]

Thank you!

[@ShortysSkateSeries]

Thank you!

[@JulianaCavichiolo]

I love your vídeos, all very helpfull! I made a mini tutorial on saturday telling about how important is to look back when you are traveling fakie 🥰

[@ShortysSkateSeries]

Nice!

[@adriangonzalez1505]

Muchas gracias es justo lo que quiero intentar 😁👌🏼

[@ShortysSkateSeries]

Yay! I'm glad

[@ShortysSkateSeries]

Thank you!

[@binbeansnah]

Why are so many people sleeping on Shorty?! Best quad skate tutorials hands down!

[@ShortysSkateSeries]

Thank you!

[@leser1music]

I just found your channel and this is super useful. I filmed myself today and relalised tge reason I wasn't getting enough speed fakie, was that after a frontside stall, i'm hoping back into the ramp and straightening my legs so i don't get much pump. I'm getting the fakie stall but with not enough speed to get my body on top of it.

[@ShortysSkateSeries]

Try just rolling off from a stall so you have more time to pump. You might need to think of your stall differently and keep bent knees so that rolling off is easier. You don't even really need to pause your stall you just need to get to the coping so that it can help you gain momentum back down.

[@leser1music]

@ShortysSkateSeries thanks for the reply. I'm heading out for a roll right now so i'll give that a try 👍

[@elizabeth.shaffer]

This might sound weird, but I wasn't landing solid fakie stalls until I STOPPED looking at the coping. I found that when I hit the transition, it worked better to pick a spot on the curve of the transition itself next to me and not watch my feet or the coping at all. I have no idea why that works, but when I was trying to watch what I did my body would always try to bail at the last second either with a half cab stall or by sitting down.

[@ShortysSkateSeries]

That's interesting to know. There are quite a few skaters who don't look at the coping and I think they are magical 😂

[@cjflores2441]

Thank You so much! I love your tutorials! I’ve been trying this trick for a while now and have been having trouble. I hope the things you showed in this video will help me. The one question that I have is it easier on a transition that’s a little steeper? I’ve only been trying it in the baby bowls at the park…

[@ShortysSkateSeries]

On a smaller ramp is easier as you won't have to pump as much. The bigger the ramp the more you will need to pump fakie to get the momentum.

[@zorinaseva]

Shorty, thanks for the tutorial. My biggest issue is losing balance when my back wheels roll over anything - even coping. Do you have any tips for this?

[@ShortysSkateSeries]

Getting low and thinking about pushing your hips backwards and weight into your heels when on the coping can help. If you have footage you can DM me on IG: @shortstop.6 and I can have a look.

[@gdust6579]

Where do you get a good pair of aggressive quads? Thanks for the tutorial, Ive been stuck on front stall to fake on aggressive inline for yeaarrss but tbh I think I just wasnt approaching it methodically perhaps learning fakie to back stall will unlock it

[@ShortysSkateSeries]

There are different style of aggressive quads. I use Bont Parkstars which are a supportive boot but no where as supportive or high cuff as a blading boot. If you do buy Bonts and depending on the size, I recommend ordering the next size up plate so you have a longer base. It will give you a longer base like a blading boot. bont.com/collections/park-roller-skates I also have a code SHORTY which you can use at checkout and receive 10% off, excluding gift card, shipping, and outlet.

[@gracieblaine4239]

where is that big half pipe under the bridge?? looks so ideal

[@ShortysSkateSeries]

It's Korea, I use to catch the subway and walk which took about 2 hours travel time from Seoul.

[@KauaiDee]

Do you have any tips for when the ramp you are skating has a coping that comes out super far? It’s old and janky but it’s what I’m working with. I’ve had my wheels hit the coping and then I just bounce off a few times to the point where I’m really apprehensive to attempt a fakie stall.

[@ShortysSkateSeries]

If the coping sticks out far, you're going to have to really lift your toes (when stalling forwards) and your knees (when stalling backwards).

[@thatanxiousone6792]

@@ShortysSkateSeries oo this is interesting. I always think of lifting my heels and that just results in my front foot airing above the coping instead of touch it. I will try to think of it more like lifting the knees and see what happens 🤔

[@cjtoxicity]

on aggressive skates its the same tecnique?

[@ShortysSkateSeries]

Yes for these tricks it's the same for blades.

[@lucamannstein2587]

I've been practicing fakie stalls for a small while, and while i manage to 'lock' onto the coping for a short time, i can't seem to get enough momentum on some ramps to stall fully, neither front nor fakie. Do you have any tips? So far I've just been trying to practice pumping to solve this problem :/

[@ShortysSkateSeries]

Hmm. It does seem like you need more momentum. Are you able to drop in on the ramp you are practicing? You might need to drop in to stall and pump to fakie. You should also try to film yourself or get someone to do it as I found some skaters will unintentionally use their toe stop and not realise. This will slow your momentum.

[@elysiangenesis]

I have a big fear of missing the coping entirely and sliding out on my back wheels and potentially hitting my head on the coping. Is there a high chance of this happening or am I just crazy?

[@ShortysSkateSeries]

There is always a risk of falling. That's why I recommend wearing protective, including a helmet when learning new tricks. The most common bail is when skaters tip their weight too far forward as they reach the coping so they have tap their feet but not stall. If they fall from this position then they fall forward on wrist guards and knee pads. Less common but can happen is if skaters forget to lift their heels a little and their wheels run into the coping instead of over the coping, you can either fall forward like above or slip out on your butt, which I think is what you are worried about and hitting you head. Check out this video at 3:12 as I catch my wheels. It's not the same trick but the fall is similar. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z6fHaminlqamm9U If you aren't prepared you could hit your head if you lead back so maybe practicing sliding out and falling on your butt and might help you get more comfortable with falling.
