First, squeeze the upper body!
The important thing when pressing the front tail is the orientation of the upper body!The lower half of the body precedes the buttocks in the direction of travel!The upper body squeezes the chest ahead of the direction of travel!This aperture stabilizes the axis well!
Second, use the torsion of the board!
Be aware of the entire sole of your foot as the axis, and make sure that the foot you raise during pressing sticks out your toes to the side of the direction of travel!By doing this, the board is twisted from the center, and deceleration and reverse edge can be minimized ♪
Thirdly, the position of the back!
Make sure your back is in the direction of travel!I think that it is easy to correct the twist of the upper body and the position of the line of sight by doing this!
Do not lower your eyes!This is also important? ♪
With the above three points, you too are the front tail press master ♪

Junji Yamamoto (Junji Yamamoto: Rider introduction movie
"Color" comes out only with a simple technique!
Please try this press technique by sticking to your style!
It is important to squeeze the upper and lower body firmly and keep that posture.
Keep your eyes and shoulders facing the valley during the press!
If you put the knee of the person stepping on the board inside, it will be more stylish ♪

Kenichi Jimbo (Kenichi Jimbo: Rider introduction movie
1 Face, shoulders and arms in the direction of travel
Use both arms to keep your shoulders in the direction of travel.
Especially when you open your left shoulder, it becomes easier to open your upper body.
2 Right knee is loaded inward and rides with toe
Load on the base of the big toe of the right foot and ride with the toe of the right foot to prevent reverse edge.
Load your right knee inward so that both peaches stick together.
3 Extend your left foot in the direction of travel
By extending your left foot, the board rotated 90 ° will not rotate in the reverse direction.
Once you have the shape of the front tail, let's put parentheses on it ♪
It's easy to get a reverse edge, and I've had many pains.
Be especially careful with Crispy Burn!

Daiki Yoshitake (Daiki Yoshitake: Rider introduction movie
1 The first opportunity is to lightly enter from Norry
Easy to press with hind legs.
2 It is a twist of the upper body, but if you spread your hands wide and twist your shoulders in parallel
It is easy to make the posture of the upper body.
3 Bring your hind legs just below your hips rather than laying down the board
If you move it with the image, it is easy to make the posture of the lower body, so please try it!

Kazuki Tanaka (Paul Kazuki Tanaka: Rider introduction movie
It is a technique that does not rotate and is not complicated, so it is a technique that most people can easily try with the image as they saw it.
However, this technique is a technique that allows you to pursue how to use the body, how to use the board, and style, so I did it!It's a waste to end up with just one, so don't get bored and master it.
It is a good idea to learn the squeezing of the upper and lower body with this technique, and practice while paying attention to the position of the arms and the line of sight.
The point of the technique is not to squeeze the upper and lower body halfway.
This is because if the upper and lower body squeezing is sweet, the movement of the lower body will cause the body to rotate with the board.Let's make a shape using the line of sight and the upper body so that the board does not turn.
Also, once you get used to it, try taking it to the shape of this aperture in an instant or raising the height of the press. This technique will also lead to Owen, so check it out.

Yohei Muroi (Yohei Muroi: Rider introduction movie
Are you too concerned about your feet and your eyes aren't falling?
Look at the front, not the bottom!Be aware that your chest is facing forward.It is easy to twist your upper body if you precede with your arms!
I think that you can keep a beautiful shape by loading the hind legs on the toe side and squeezing the knees to the inner thighs!

Hideki Kishinami (Hideki Kishinami: Rider introduction movie
The upper body (line of sight) is in the direction of travel, and the lower body is on the mountain side, so try twisting on flat ground first.
Twist your body and squeeze your hips with the image of bringing your hind legs forward to create a trigger by lightly ollie.

Rei Takahashi (Rei Takahashi: Rider introduction movie
Gaze and upper body precedence + aperture
1 Always send your line of sight forward.By always looking in front, I think it will be easier to squeeze the lower body and maintain balance.
2 When doing the front tail press, twist your body as much as you can so that your shoulders are facing the valley side.
By firmly squeezing the lower and upper body in reverse, you can stabilize the balance and make it easier to create a style.
3 Also, by putting only the upper body slightly ahead of the mountain side before entering the press, elasticity (the habit of returning to the original when it expands and contracts) is created, and the upper body can be squeezed smoothly.If you can afford the entry, let's try it!

Hyodo Ryu (Ryu Hyodo: Rider introduction movie
I think that the front tail method is different for each person, but I recommend the method of entering from Nory.
If it is a nory-in, the board can be sent out firmly, so it is easy to put the center of gravity on the tail and you can press firmly!
Be careful not to lower your back shoulders when you open your shoulders in parallel.
If your back shoulders go down, your head will go down and your hips will break, so it's a good idea to have an image of stretching your chest and raising your back elbows so that you don't tilt your neck!

Ryota Tanaka (Ryota Tanaka: Rider introduction movie
Part XNUMX Flat the board.Or on the feeling to side
Part XNUMX A twist on the upper and lower body.And shoulders
XNUMX I think the scariest thing about the front tail is the reverse edge on the heel side.
To prevent that, the board is flat.Or, let's get on the feeling toe side.
However, if you ride too far on the toe side, the speed will slow down or you will fall.
XNUMX Twist of upper and lower body.
If the upper and lower body face in the same direction, the board will rotate in that direction.
Therefore, create a reverse twist with your upper and lower body.By doing so, you can lock the movement of the board.
Also, do not lower your eyes too much, and do not raise or lower your shoulders.
Be aware that it is parallel to the board.
I hope you can try it in the front tail from the previous "Norry" or even in the wave box!
