What this video teaches
A drill-based course that isolates components (balance point, nose lift, tic-tacs, tail contact, hippie jumps) and challenges the myth that the back foot pushes down or touches the ground.
Key tips
1Jump off the back truck, your back foot never touches the ground
2Keep your weight centered over the back truck
3Lift your front knee straight up to bring the nose up, do not slide it first
4Back foot toward the center-front of the tail, near the back bolts
5Keep about 60% of your weight on the front foot when lifting the nose
6Do not add extra pressure to the tail; your stance weight pops it
7Keep the front-foot sole parallel to the ground and shin in front of you
8Control tail height by how high you lift your front leg
