Hi! my name is Brandon and I work at BC Surf-n-Sport here in Coral Springs, Florida. You can find us on the web at www.bcsurf.com. Today, I am going to teach to how to turn on a ramp. Basically what you want to do is to get started on one end of the ramp so you don't have too much speed, till you get used to it, you start off as if you are pushing to get like pumping on a ramp just to make sure your front feet are in the front part of your bolts and back foot over by back part of the wheels, may be just start at one end of the ramp. What you want to do is just get comfortable with it, may be you should take a couple of pushes and see that you don't go too high up on the ramp and you won't fall so what we got to do is just take couple of pushes. So what you want to do is when you get to this part of ramp and go up to the top part of the ramp you want to spot your landing, so basically you want to just turn your shoulders and keep your body at the same area and you must rotate your shoulders and then just put a little bit of weight on your tail and just press the thing around, basically as if you are turning on the ground. Here I will demonstrate for you. You can also get it in both ways, notice my spot where I was going to be turning so just in case like something may happened to be in the way I was not going to fall or get hurt.
