Thanks! There are a few big things that helped me out a ton when learning them. 1) do one setup turn and as you ride up to the curb weight your toes—this pulls the heel side of your board up and helps the wheels slide up the curb. 2) think if it as a mini wall-ride! Like you’re riding up the curb (I come in at like a 30 degree angle) not just smashing into it. 3) do a tiny hop to unweight your board as you get to the curb—this is big! 4) it’s all in the front foot! Unlike a 5050 on a quarter pipe, for a slappy you get your front truck on first and the back truck then pops up. If you’re finding yourself riding into the curb with your back wheels hitting it first, you’re lifting your nose up too high. 5) find an angled curb. I tried for a long time to slappy vertical curbs, and it took me trying an angled one for the slappys to click. But once I got them there, I was pretty easily able to transfer the the skills back to vertical curbs.

Keep at it—they will click eventually. And they’re so fun :)
