So with your help last time, I started being able to keep both feet over the board. My problem now has to do with all my weight being on the tail when I land, causing me to lose balance. Any advice on landing more on the bolts??

Maybe doing it while moving would help to kind of force you to stay over it too. I’m not sure, it’s something try though.

Have a bit more weight on your front foot. Always remember, whichever way a board is going, it's because of the weight on your opposite foot. If you stand with more weight on your front the board shouldn't go as far forward and you should land bolts.

You almost have it! When you jump, jump forward, this will flatten out the board and put your feet in the right place to land it :)

Concentrate on hands. Start hands hanging low at front almost touching the deck and swing them up like a jumping jack. Your hands were moving downwards in the middle of the jump losing you height. Practice jumping jacks off the board. You will see how moving arms up gives you more hang time.

Get lower at start of jump, start with knees bent further at start of jump.

Front foot start position back an inch.

Good lifting of the legs, but the board isnt coming up with your feet, that will come with timing and better jump.

Good effort, Repost once improved.

Could you help me too? When I try to kickflip I can sometimes get it to spin but most the time my board flies 30 feet when I try to flick
