I’ve been teaching my son & his mate all the grab positions and getting them to crouch down and do them as they skate along while shouting BEND ZE KNEES!
It teaches them to balance in strange positions and where their centre of gravity can and can’t be.
From that they can get hand airs or those old school street plant 180 slide things

Woke up and before breakfast showed them the video above and immediately after watching they wanted to try to to do a rail stand and then drop onto the board. Which they did but they weren’t wearing any shoes so the grip tape scratched their toes.
I’m still taking that as a win!
They’ve seen kids doing versions of a monster walk (mostly to change direction) they themselves are pretty good at tacking so think the tricks in there show them what they can do and are achievable at their age and with the progress they’ve made so far, aren’t as daunting.
