#seeatiptimetuesday 🚀☝️✌️🤞 The take-off combo ~ when a series of maneuvers are strung together it can be referred to as a combination or a combo. In longboarding, a common maneuver is to go straight to the nose after the takeoff. Each wave is different, so circumstance is always changing- but there’s a few elements that usually play a part in it. 1. Notice how she pops up with her feet in place to do her first quick bottom turn (this is more of a mid-face turn than going all the way to the bottom) 2. She presses through her back foot to turn the board. As the board turns, she uses its new directional momentum to take her first steps forward. 3. She sweeps the board under her feet, allowing her body to engage and push through the board- this helps maintain balance! Study the first 5 seconds of this wave, the pop up, the direction of her board at paddle, takeoff, bottom turn, cross steps, noseride, and so on!!!
