    try to jump higher with your back foot. The height of the trick depends on how high you can bring your back foot up, the front foot is just a leveler. If you jump higher, the board will have more time to spin, and you more time to land the catch.

    Place your back foot so that your heel is hanging off the tail. This will create a counter torque. Focus less on flick and more on Ollie. You’re kicking too much in front of you. Only hang a lil bit of your toe off of the board. It should feel like a regular Ollie. What you want to happen is to have your foot follow up the edge of your board but at a slight 📐 angle. What you want to happen is at the apex of your Ollie your heel should be clipping the board right above the pocket of the board and clipping the nose. It’s not like a kick flip where there is a flick that flips the board. Last tip don’t film your self from the side film you self straight on. Have the camera facing you and the nose of your board. Make sure your shoulders are straight and that you’re not opening up your chests and look at where your front foot is going. You foot should only travel slightly out and past the nose of your board Think more Karate kick
