Question

and every time i do it i have to jump back

same thing with my heelflips but i have to step forward

Answer 1

all you need to do is jump high and bring your front foot back and when you see the griptape slam the board down it is pretty easy good luck!!!

Answer 2

You are not commiting enough to land on it. Once you are commited to landing on it lean forward and bring your legs out of the way until you see the griptape and stomp your feet down.

Answer 3

lean over your front sholder while keeping ur weight balanced, flick it with ur ankle and not ur whole foot and jump straight up, chances are ur not doing one or more of these things. it will come with practice just keep at it

Answer 4
