Stunt Scooter Course

Lesson 1 • Anatomy of a Stunt Scooter

Covers deck, fork, headset, bars, wheels, and clamp functions. Understanding each part enables informed setup and maintenance decisions throughout the course.

Lesson 2 • Choosing the Right Scooter

Guides riders through matching scooter specs to body size and skill level. Proper selection prevents injury and supports skill progression from day one.

Lesson 3 • Essential Protective Equipment

Identifies mandatory and recommended protective gear for all skill levels. Correct gear selection directly reduces injury risk during every session.

Lesson 4 • Basic Scooter Maintenance

Teaches pre-session checks and simple adjustments to keep the scooter safe and responsive. Routine maintenance prevents mechanical failures during practice.

Lesson 1 • Riding Fakie and Switch

Trains backward riding and non-dominant stance to build full directional fluency. Fakie and switch skills are required for many intermediate tricks.

Lesson 2 • Stance and Body Positioning

Establishes correct foot placement, knee bend, and upper-body alignment. Proper stance is the prerequisite for every technique introduced later in the course.

Lesson 3 • Falling Safely and Recovery

Drills controlled falling techniques to minimize injury when tricks go wrong. Confident fall recovery allows riders to push limits with reduced fear.

Lesson 4 • Turning and Carving

Introduces weight-shift turns and carving arcs at varying speeds. Directional control is essential before riders approach obstacles or ramps.

Lesson 1 • 180-Degree Spins

Introduces body and scooter rotation to 180 degrees in both directions. Spin mechanics learned here scale directly to 360s and beyond.

Lesson 2 • Tailwhip Fundamentals

Breaks down the kick-and-catch motion of the tailwhip into progressive steps. Foot timing and deck control are the critical skills developed here.

Lesson 3 • Manual and Nose Manual

Develops balance on one wheel while rolling, training fine weight-shift control. Manuals extend trick lines and are required for many combo sequences.

Lesson 4 • Barspin Fundamentals

Teaches the hand-release and bar-rotation mechanics of the barspin. Clean catches and consistent rotation form the foundation for advanced bar combos.

Lesson 1 • Drop-In and Pumping

Teaches the drop-in entry and the pump motion used to generate speed without pushing. Pumping efficiency directly determines trick height and flow.

Lesson 2 • Kick Turns and Stalls

Introduces pivoting at the coping and stall grinds as foundational transition moves. These skills enable riders to control speed and set up aerial tricks.

Lesson 3 • Fakie and Revert on Ramps

Trains fakie riding out of transitions and revert pivots to switch direction. These skills unlock continuous back-and-forth flow on any ramp.

Lesson 4 • Understanding Transition Terrain

Explains ramp geometry, transition radius, and how speed is generated through pumping. This conceptual foundation prevents common beginner errors on ramps.

Lesson 1 • Nose and Tail Tricks

Develops nose blunts, tail taps, and pivot variations on flat ground. These tricks improve precision and set up street obstacle applications.

Lesson 2 • 360-Degree Spins

Scales the 180 rotation to a full 360 with controlled landing. Consistent full spins are a prerequisite for all higher-degree rotation tricks.

Lesson 3 • Scooter Flip Variations

Introduces deck flip tricks where the scooter rotates on multiple axes. Flip control expands the trick vocabulary beyond spins and bar moves.

Lesson 4 • Trick Consistency and Repetition

Applies deliberate practice methods to achieve reliable trick execution. Consistency under pressure is the benchmark for advancing to street and park obstacles.

Lesson 1 • Reading and Approaching Obstacles

Teaches how to assess obstacle height, angle, and surface before committing. Accurate obstacle reading prevents crashes and builds approach confidence.

Lesson 2 • Combining Tricks on Obstacles

Links flatground tricks with obstacle entries and exits into full trick lines. Line planning and execution under real park conditions are the focus.

Lesson 3 • Stair Sets and Gaps

Applies bunny hop and air skills to clearing stair sets and gap obstacles. Distance and height judgment are critical safety skills for this section.

Lesson 4 • Slides on Ledges

Develops boardslide and noseslide variations on ledge obstacles. Slide control requires precise weight distribution and hip alignment over the obstacle.

Lesson 1 • Spin-Whip and Spin-Bar Combos

Combines high-degree spins with tailwhips or barspins in a single aerial. These combos are standard in competitive freestyle and require peak coordination.

Lesson 2 • 540 and 720 Spins

Extends full-rotation spins to 540 and 720 degrees using ramp-generated speed. Increased rotation demands faster wind-up and precise landing spotting.

Lesson 3 • Trick Progression Safety Protocols

Establishes a structured progression framework for attempting high-risk tricks safely. Spotters, crash mats, and step-by-step drills reduce injury during advanced learning.

Lesson 4 • Double and Triple Tailwhips

Scales the single tailwhip to double and triple rotations in a single jump. Kick speed and catch timing must be dramatically accelerated for multi-whips.

Lesson 1 • Warm-Up and Peak Readiness

Structures a competition-day warm-up to reach physical and mental peak at run time. Proper warm-up reduces injury risk and improves trick consistency.

Lesson 2 • Understanding Competition Formats

Explains jam, best-trick, and run-based competition formats and judging criteria. Knowing the format allows riders to strategize trick selection and run timing.

Lesson 3 • Mental Performance and Pressure

Applies sport psychology tools to manage competition anxiety and maintain focus. Mental skills are as critical as physical skills in high-pressure events.

Lesson 4 • Designing a Competition Run

Teaches how to sequence tricks for maximum score within a timed run. Run design balances difficulty, variety, flow, and personal trick reliability.
