Straight Airs (S-Kicker)

Straight Airs (S-Kicker)

Your first real air! Approach the small kicker (S-kicker) on your heelside edge with moderate speed. As you go up the ramp, stand tall and extend your legs. Keep the handle close to your body and spot your landing. Land with knees bent to absorb the impact.

Key tips

  • Progressive edge into the kicker — don't flatten out at the base
  • Stand tall at the lip, don't crouch
  • Land on a slight edge, not flat — flat landings are unstable
