i can't land them yet, but have come as close as humanly possible a handful of times. from what i've gathered on this site one key is to pop and wait to flick instead of doing it right away.

I duck my foot out a lot more than nick. That's so tight how he does that... 
I just started landing them so idk how correct this is but here's what ive gathered: Do a nice little ollie poke. Not too hard, just enough to flatten out the board real nice. At that point flick the board downwards with the edge of your front foot and pick up that back foot real high. Once you see the grip again, stomp that shi t w/ your backfoot and follow suit with the front.
I can only do them inside out as of now b/c it gives me the air/time to get my board flattened out and then flick it. It seems like it gives me more time to think about what im doing whereas when i try them in the flats i get too anxious and flick too soon.
But it is definitely a pop-then flick maneuver  good luck.

its all about timing. trial and error is the best way ive found to learn. just try and try again, also tramp skating helps  |
