Title: ATM (Around The Moon) Help
Post by: Lozza on Nov 01, 2008, 06:22: AM

Hi. I'm trying to learn the ATM trick and would like to know any hints.

Do you just flick it up off your neck then try and go round or do you roll it off of the side and then go round or what?

Does anyone know any tutorials or could someone please send me a clip of you doing an ATM to lozza-h@live.com or upload it to vimeo so i can download it and then I can slow it down to see how its done.


Thanks, Lozza

i don't have a tuturial, but i can tell you step by step here.  the problem with most people trying to do atm for the first time is they try to flick it of their neck and go around, but that makes the trick harder. instead bend your knees and push up letting the ball come off your shoulder and carry your head around the ball. the majority lift from the ball should come from bending your knees. this will make it much smoother.
