Intro to Teeterboard

With Jon Roitman

Have you always wanted to flip and fly where someone else gets to create the propulsion? Then teeterboard is the skill for you! In this workshop you’ll learn how to fly, and how to ‘push’ the board. Communication and timing is key to the success of this group activity.

Flyers will work on how to time their lift off from the board, and execute non-rotational jumps and—based on participants experience—learn to flip. Pushers will learn the art of partner and solo pushing, allowing folks of all body types to experience both teeterboard positions.

After you register, you will receive a form to indicate which position(s) you are interested in learning, based on experience and body type.
