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
- Jump off the back truck, your back foot never touches the ground
- Keep your weight centered over the back truck
- Lift your front knee straight up to bring the nose up, do not slide it first
- Back foot toward the center-front of the tail, near the back bolts
- Keep about 60% of your weight on the front foot when lifting the nose
- Do not add extra pressure to the tail; your stance weight pops it
- Keep the front-foot sole parallel to the ground and shin in front of you
- Control tail height by how high you lift your front leg
