Rock & Roll

Before attempting this trick on a transition, you should be comfortable with kick turns and you should be able to already drop in on said transition. Approach the tranny with enough speed to get up to the coping. When you get up there, get your front truck over the coping and put pressure on your nose so you "rock" on the coping on the middle of your board. Now here's the tough part. Get your weight back onto the tail and perform a kick turn, making sure (and this is important) that your front truck is high enough to clear the coping as you swing it around. Once you've got that covered, just touch your front wheels back onto the transition and cruise on down to the flats. For some, rocks to fakie are easier to attempt first. There's no kick turn involved, but you do have be comfortable with coming back into the transition moving fakie.
