It can be difficult when first learning how to skate a mini ramp to learn how to axle stall. I often see people doing axle stalls on the “inside” of the ramp when attempting to learn them. It’s very important to keep practicing and learn how to do them on top of the coping so you don’t form any bad habits.

By learning axle stalls (50-50’s) on top of the coping you drastically reduce the risk of hanging up as well as improve your consistency. Just make sure when you start getting the feel of getting on top of the coping that you don’t lock in with your whole truck.

just landed my first axle stall, feeble stall, and feeble grind. the “stand on the coping” was repeating in my head and that helped a lot. you’re a legend bro thank you

This makes so much sense. I'm trying to learn this trick at the moment and I'm doing exactly what you talk about a quick stall on the inside of the ramp. The putting your weight on the heels is the simply bit I have been missing but I didn't know until I heard you say it. It's crazy to think that I missed such a basic thing out but I guess thats what most people do when they doing things wrong. Thanks man great vid.

I’m at the skatepark right now and was struggling with them. Watched up until 1:04 when you mentioned weight on the heel. & I got it first try! Thanks so much!

Just got my axle stalls today! Watched this tutorial before I left to the skatepark this morning. Thanks for the tips 🥳

You're the best at breaking it all down 👌🏼

Chad Caruso is like the best teacher ever!! Keep it up man, love your vids!

I’ve got so many of these stall tricks on lock on one mini ramp. Then I start skating bowls and these plaza style parks and I can’t axle stall on any of this. I fly out to the deck basically no matter what I do.

I’m hoping I can take this “stand on the coping” advice and start making this work. And I’m hoping I can use this to be able to deal with the speed judgement difficulties that come with bowls and plaza style spots.

I appreciate you man. Thank you!

This helped me a lot. My problem was i was coming up at an angle and couldnt get to the top to stand up on it. Once i started riding straight until my back truck hit i nailed them!

[alexfloquet]

So many videos about this trick and I can't remember anyone mentioning putting pressure on the heels!! I feel this is the key element I was missing, thanks Chad!

Great work, nice! I just started skating again after 20 years off. I can't stall consistently (lmao), and then I started to realize I needed more weight on my back heel, just like you said. But I didn't realize, I am trying to put too much truck onto the copping. Great tip man. I can hear the cells in my wrists and knees thanking you already.

Great Video! Great Job as Always Chad!!

We always called these 50/50 stalls. That was back in the 90’s. I also never had trouble locking in all the way on top. Didn’t cause me to get hung up.

Hey Chad, hope you are well. May sound silly but a quick question: could I put the board on top of the mini ramp and just turn in to learn that movement first, then focus on staking up to the coping and performing the axle stall?

[zyzzbrah]

Thank you for the tutorial it really helped me

[chronictraingaurd]

Also I have a good tip for everyone. You can learn this trick in 45 minutes if you learn how to slash grind on coping before learning this trick

[brettdawson]

If you find your weight is always inside the ramp and you can only axle stall for a quick second before you have to go back in try this: I swear someone left a comment on this video saying to put your trucks on the coping and start/drop in that way like you’re coming back in from an axle stall. For some reason that’s what made it work for me. It showed my brain how my weight should be when I get to the coping. I struggled with this for years before I tried it, and once I did, I finally got axle stalls right.

Thank you for taking the time to do this, Chad!
