Key tips
1Front foot just under the front bolts, back foot fully on the tail
2Hold the board flat and straight as you jump, no toe or heel lean
3Hinge forward about 45 degrees in the squat, then push to leave the ground
4Make space under the front foot by jumping over it, not stomping the tail
5Send the back foot slightly back as you pop to bring the nose up
6Lift the front knee toward your center line, rolling the foot inward
7Aim to be as far from the board as possible when the tail hits
