Quick No Comply Tutorial | Why This Trick is So Underrated

What this video teaches

Skate IQ frames the whole trick around timing rather than height: the one marker that matters is that there is no delay between the front foot touching the ground and the board popping. Back foot goes on the tail so the nose bounces up automatically when the front foot slides off, and the front foot sits far enough toward the heel side that it slips off the edge without catching. Instead of stepping down and then jumping again, you get to the bottom of your squat and treat it like a normal jump, ninja kicking the ground with the front foot as you extend upward. He then gives separate fixes for over rotating and under rotating on the 180 version.

Key tips

• 1Back foot flat on the tail so the nose bounces into the air on its own the moment the front foot leaves the board
• 2Set the front foot far enough toward the heel side that it slides off the edge cleanly instead of catching on the board
• 3Get to the bottom of your squat and jump from there, ninja kicking the ground with the front foot as you rise, rather than planting and then jumping again
• 4The only success marker to chase early on is zero delay between the front foot touching down and the pop, not height or distance
• 5To slow down rotation, keep your shoulders and your planting foot square to the board through the plant
• 6To add rotation, push the back foot forward away from you, or throw your shoulders and hips as you stand up out of the squat
