Skateboard Alley Oop Hurricane to Fakie

One of the best ways to learn how to do an alley-oop hurricane, to fakie, is to first get used to the feeling of how it will be to do an alley-oop. You can do an alley-oop on any transition, or bank that you want to try and find, where you can approach it, go up, and then come down. What you'll do is, remember, your upper body makes the turn, and gets your momentum going; and your lower body usually follows. So, if you remember, head up the ramp in a semi-front side position. Just before you get to the top, shift your weight, and travel around backside at the last minute, and roll away down forward. There's no real way to learn this trick without trying it as much as you can, and getting used to how it feels to go up front side, turn it around, and come back down. So basically imagine, for just a moment, when you get to your highest peak of the kick-turn, because this is kind of a version of a kick-turn, that you're traveling backwards across part of the kick-turn, at its highest point, and then coming down forward. The more you practice this motion, the better you'll be when it comes time to try to learn, how to do alley-oop hurricane, to fakie.
