Key tips
- Bend your knees deeply to load before you pop
- Drive through the tail so it clicks the ground and rockets the board up
- Drag the outside edge of your front foot up to the nose, catching the grip
- Lean into your front foot at the peak to level the back wheels
- Keep your head over the board for balance
- Extend your legs down as you descend to stay with the board
- Land with a deep knee bend to absorb the impact
- Pop just before your front wheels reach an obstacle
