What this video teaches
Spencer Nuzzi on the RIDE Channel emphasizes the scissor kick: as you scoop, the front foot goes forward and out to the side and the back foot drives back, keeping the board controlled underneath you rather than flying away. He teaches a step-by-step progression of spinning the board freely first, then landing with the front foot only, before bringing the back foot in.
Key tips
1Back foot in the toe-side pocket with all toes hanging off the edge, front foot slightly behind kickflip position
2The 360 flip pop is a scoop motion outward, not a straight-up kickflip pop
3Front foot does a scissor kick: goes forward and out to the side to get out of the board's path, not straight forward like a kickflip
4Practice step 1: just spin the board freely to understand the rotation without worrying about landing
5Practice step 2: land with the front foot only, keeping the board underneath you, before adding the back foot
6Once front-foot catches are consistent, simply keep the back foot out longer and bring it back onto the board
7If struggling, find slippery ground to ease the scoop, or try it fakie to keep the board underneath
8Scissor kick posture (front foot forward-out, back foot backward) keeps the board tracking under your body
