    Here's something I do;don't completely turn your front foot parallel to your trucks,angle it so that it's almost pointing completely forward and keep your knee slightly bent.Try carving with only your front foot on the board in this position,it will strengthen your leg and it actually acts like a shock absorber to some extent.Your back foot can be parallel to the trucks as it will help stabilize everything.Don't forget that the biggest part of skateboard trickery is actually the skating,gotta know how to turn well and manuever before you approach that 8 stair gap to flat with the metal grate in front of the run-up....
