What this video teaches
A concise coaching tutorial focused on back-foot edge placement and the pop-before-scoop sequence, teaching skaters to stand on the very back corner of the tail and to snap a full pop first before initiating the scoop.
Key tips
- Back foot rides the back edge of the tail with no shoe on the griptape surface, all weight balanced on that corner edge
- Front foot sits closer to the center of the board and angled slightly more diagonal than a regular kickflip stance
- Load as much weight as possible onto the back foot so the release of pressure produces a hard pop
- Pop down hard first, then scoop: scooping too early prevents the board from popping fully and the flip may not complete
- Face diagonally and lean over the toe side of the board before you pop, not square or leaning heelside
- Front foot gives only a light kickflip flick and gets out of the way; the back foot does the real work
- Catch the board with your front foot once the spin completes to stop rotation and control the landing
- Scooping too soon without a committed pop is the most common reason the board under-rotates
