The Air Trick
The Air Trick is an advanced e-scooter maneuver that demands a high level of skill, balance, and timing. It allows riders to show off their creativity and style as they soar through the air. The key to performing aerial tricks successfully is to generate speed and momentum to get off the ramp or jump and perform a series of acrobatic movements in the air.
Riders can try different types of aerial tricks, depending on their skill level and comfort zone. The Superman is one of the most popular of these tricks, where the rider extends his body parallel to the ground while elevated in the air. Meanwhile, the No-Hander involves releasing the handlebars and standing on the deck.
Other advanced aerial tricks include the scooter flip, in which the rider does a 360-degree flip in the air, and the Flair, in which the rider does a backflip while flipping the scooter.
The Heel Whip
The Heel Whip involves whipping the deck around in the air using your feet. It’s a simple trick, but it requires a good sense of timing and coordination to perform correctly.
To do the heel strike, start by gaining momentum so you can execute a smooth glide. Take your back foot off the deck and swing it in a whipping motion to the front of the electric scooter.
Simultaneously, use your front foot to press down on the deck and to create momentum for the whip. Timing is essential because you must whip the deck as you hit the peak of the jump. Lastly, catch the deck with your back foot to ensure a smooth landing.
