A foundational breakdown that walks through placement, the tail snap, and the front-foot slide in sequence, using barefoot demos to show weight distribution.

Key tips

Back foot on the tail, front foot between the middle and the bolts
Stand on the balls of both feet, weight toward the big toes
Snap the tail down hard while jumping off the back foot
Release pressure from the front foot so the board can rise
Slide the front foot up to the nose as the board lifts
Raise the back foot to level with the front at the peak
Front foot near the bolts for control, near the middle for height
