Gnarly Dancer 42, try ducking your front foot out a little more.

ok i think i might have figured it out, i dont wanna jinx it though haha

i think i was waiting too long before olliing and it would cause me to turn backside and loose all my pop

i poped 2 real nice ones today but failed to land them Smash

but im psyched anyway because thats the closest ive gotten so far this year haha

daniel..........what jazzmatazz is saying by ducking our front foot is referring to the stance of a duck.......quack quack.........instead of standing with your feet parallel, your heels remain the same but your toes point outwards.

now back to the kicky.....your back foot may be all the way back and your front foot may be forward...........turn your front foot so instead of your foot being perpendicular to your heelside edge....we're now something like a 45 degree angle.

instead of your flick just going down and you get the flip but go over the handle bars............with the duck you get the lead you need. Not only do you need the flip, you need the distance. you are gonna get more toe and less foot which will make for a prettier flip.......and you can take your flip big, out up and away.

hope this helps Cool

i feel your pain..i had them at the end of last year and when i started back this year i completely lost them. i could flip it and land on it sometimes but i could never ride away. i only stuck one before i ended up getting hurt and out for the summer. good luck with yours man. Smash

Make the shape of an L with your feet when doing the flip, your front foot should be running parallel with the boards edge

i think i have them back. i switched to riding the impulse for like 10 minutes and it basically forced me to mob it to get it around. i landed one on that board, then switched back to the woodworks and i got one first try Cool
