Question

Answer 1

Make sure you stay over the board. When your starting out try scooping the board around with out poping it. Once you can land on it just pivoting the board add a small pop to it. The key is to stay over the board. Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Well, this depends on if youre doing them backside or frontside

Backside, which is more likely you're trying: when you pop with your back foot you will be scooping it around backwards, while jumping at the same time. suck your knees up and attempt to catch the board with both feet
