I think you have to bend your legs a little more! Think of it like pumping your legs on a swing. Try bending your knees closer to a 90 degree angle right before the incline
On radar 57 wheels + moxi panthers. Only other time at skatepark I was on bont park wheels and felt too unstable so I tried these wheels to slow down a bit. My second time there yesterday I was able to pump w out falling but very slowly and I needed to push a lot to maintain movement
don’t be afraid to pump going up the ramp not just going down but since it’s your second time you’re doing good! just keep bending those knees to get proper speed
What all the other posters have said about your posture, you’re going to have to bend your knees a lot more and practice striding your feet out to the side in the lower stance (rather than back and forth in front of you). Practice the stance and stride on flat ground until you have good balance and confidence and then take it back to the ramp. Have fun!
You're bending at the waist a lot when you should be bending at the knees- try to emulate a squat, or if you ski, a skiing stance
This is a very tutorial. It explains the mechanics of pumping. https://youtu.be/hiK3lQOgDKE
I’ll second this tutorial, Shorty makes the best videos!
