OG Ce Style™ of caster boarding is based on 2 realizations:
- OG Fragility
- That caster boards were engineered to generate momentum through the force generated against the arc of the 2 wheels against the ground! Not by shimmying the upper body sideways, or pushing off with your feet, like 95% of riders do.
In OG Ce Style™, momentum and control are generated from the base – the feet (See video below).
Front foot toes pointed up to the heavens and back foot toes earthbound, visa versa and so on. Fluid, semi-circle motion is created, like an ice skaters glide. The transition between these movements is a dance between balance and momentum. Like playing a musical instrument with your feet, the upper body just is along to enhance and enjoy the ride.
The principles of caster boarding OG Ce Style™ include:
- Using your feet (toes & heels) to generate and control momentum and direction, instead of shimmying the body…
- Riding the roll to it’s natural conclusion…
- Understanding the Art of Falling – It is OK to fall. Falling in ripsticking, as in life, is a big part of the ride. Falling generates change and accessible momentum…
- ‘B 1 with the board, Ogywan.’ When the ride stops, U stop!!
- Recognition that you can ride a hundred miles, at varying speeds and terrains, in small spaces…
