Fun to Draw Skateboard Action Part 2

This is the second and last installment of Fun to Draw Skateboard Action book. Along with the familiar misnomers and weird physics, the second half of the book features a couple of filler pages with some “totally rad” action and an exercise to match the safety equipment with the part of the body that it goes on.

This lesson should have been titled Dropping In instead of Backside Tailslide. In the early stages it looks like a kick flip.
