Learn Frontside Shifties the Right Way

Learn Frontside Shifties the Right Way

Frontside shifties are one of the best ways to add style to your straight airs, and in this live coaching session, Nev breaks them down step by step with Nat.

This is real on-hill coaching, starting from the basics and building up to frontside shifties on park jumps. We cover counter rotation, body positioning, timing, speed, and how to shift in the air without throwing yourself off balance.

You’ll learn:
• What a frontside shifty actually is
• How counter rotation works
• How to practice shifties on flat ground
• When to shift in the air (and when not to)
• How much speed and pop you need
• Common mistakes that stop shifties from working
• How to make your straight airs look way better

This session is perfect if you’re comfortable hitting small park jumps and want to start adding style without spinning.
