What this video teaches
A concise one-minute overview covering the essential body mechanics: parallel shoulders, simultaneous front flick and back scoop, and the importance of not over-doing either motion.
Key tips
1Shoulders, knees, and feet form a parallel unit throughout the trick; never let them twist
2Front foot between the front truck bolts and the middle of the board with heel hanging off, toes angled slightly toward the nose
3Back foot around the middle of the tail with heel hanging slightly off the board
4Both feet create the varial rotation simultaneously: front foot flicks forward off the edge while back foot scoops like a pop shove-it
5Too much force from either foot will cause the board to over-rotate on one axis: be soft and precise
6Keep your center of gravity directly over the board and shoulders parallel throughout
7Catch the board after the rotation has fully completed, not while it is still spinning
8Bend your knees as you land to absorb impact and roll away in control
