The Hang Ten is a must-know out-of-the-box (or boots rather) party trick that you have no reason not to try. In our latest Freestyle video – Anthology, you will see Oswald Smith doing this trick at around 4:46. We thought it might be a great idea to break it down for you, in case you also wanted to try this on flat water!
For reference, this is what the trick looks like.
STEPS
STEP 1
You have to look for flatwater conditions. Any chop will cause loss of control and just tip-off.
STEP 2
Start riding with both your feet out of the boots, with your feet placed in between the two boots.
STEP 3
Move your front foot to the front of the board, while your back foot is still placed in the middle between the boots. This will set you up for the Hang 10.
STEP 4
Bare slight downwind, this way you get the board flat. Crucial that you do not edge during this trick.
STEP 5
Build up a comfortable amount of speed.
STEP 6
Make the move!
Step forward with your back foot and enter the Hang 10 position.
In this article, we will show you how to do a great classic & Freestyle-beginner-friendly trick called a “Front Roll To Blind” as explained by 2 different riders, Jack Rieder & Alex Pastor, to give you the best of both perspectives.
The good news about this trick is you can learn it hooked in to start, then once you have it dialed, you can do the same motion unhooked!
PREPARATION: Jack recommends that one has to learn how to do a front roll and a handle pass (or Railey to blind) before attempting to do this trick.
The Razor is a legendary freestyle machine. Mark Pattison and Alex Pastor have been working on it for years refining it every time, whether it’s for competition use or just general freestyle, it can’t be beaten. The new Razor is the pinnacle of performance and it just got even better.
The Razor is the new generation five-line freestyle big air blend that combines unrivaled unhooked performance with more boost. With constant development with some of the world’s best riders, it’s clear why it’s the world’s favorite freestyle kite. Designed alongside world champion, Alex Pastor, the Razor provides mind-blowing pop and slack.
