Hey all, just wondering if anyone has some good tips on ways to heel over (small) cracks without wiping out? Like the normal cracks between sidewalk panels.
Thanks,

| ohhh thats easy, i was kinda wondering this for a while too then i realized.... all you have to do it pick your front foot up a lil when your front foot is going over it.... your back foot will just glide right over... |

| Also, another way that can help is you can shift your weight around and put less on your feet if thats at all possible. |

Oooh, can I use antigravity for my answer too? 
Basically, yeah, just put less weight on the foot that's passing over the crack. Of course if you have a series of deep cracks in front of you, you might be doing a quirky dance... |

That definitely helps, but kick your front foot up also. |

Emma's answer is the best for beginners.
Seth's answer is the best for intermediates.
Heelybabe's answer is best for crazy people.
