What this video teaches

A brief, high-energy tip built around two cues, shoulder wind-up and back-foot scoop, that also normalizes landing the trick one-footed on flat ground as a valid stepping stone while the front foot catches up.

Key tips

  • Focus on two things only: winding up your shoulders and scooping with your back foot
  • Get comfortable spinning your shoulders around fully before worrying about the board
  • Place your back foot right in the scoop pocket once the shoulder wind-up feels natural
  • Know that your back foot drives the scoop, but your front foot still needs to guide the board through the spin
  • Accept that landing one-footed on flat ground is common and okay while you build consistency
  • Expect this trick to take a lot of repeated attempts, it will not click in one session
  • Practice it anywhere and often, the volume of reps matters more than any single cue
