How To Fastplant (?) - Longboard Trick for Curbs and Obstacles
Learn how to do things that help you manage obstacles like curbs, small barriers, slow walkers, animals, and general confusion.
This is a super useful trick for drop boards especially. I've been using for the past decade. I had never seen anyone else do this on a longboard. Even though I came up with it in isolation, I figure it, or something very similar already existed within the skate world. After lots of research that closest thing we figured was the Fastplant. But of course the best way to get accurate information on the internet starts with posting inaccurate information. Very quickly I was informed I was incorrect. As of now the trick is likely name one of these two "almost a bean plant, but the second step disqualifies it", or a variant of "Running after the bus".
