try standind straight over your board like with weight on your front foot. and just see yourself landing it before you do. focus on staying right over it and stick it with steeze! Crazy Eyes

I would say cut out a little further and straighten off a tad bit longer. But that kicky would have been sikk if you woulda stuck.

ya let the rope pull you over your toes a bit more when you edge out into the flats. when you pop you will be directly ontop of it and flick out the same way. bam

dude you had that shizzle...

i would say do everything that your doing... but after you flick it really try and get over your front foot.

I was landing like that for ever and intill i realised i had to jump over the front of my board after i flicked it i never had um consistent.

But yea just pop flick and then really try and get most of your weight over your front foot.

But if you try and start kicking the nose into the water wait longer after you flick it to get over the board. So dont try and get over till after you flick it will just nose dive.

Lookin good buddy. you been stickin some new shizzle since the projects?

That is what was happening to me for a while. I found what was happening to was that I was poping the board in front of me to much. Then I would land and slip back like shown in video. So what I did to fix it was I stayed over the board more when I poped it but when you do this you have to suck that front leg up real fast so it leaves the board then kick it or it will nose dive. then suck those legs up, wait for it to rotate and stomp it. Congrats on the progression. sounds like you had a great season.
