Instructions

1. Ride forward at medium speed with your front foot just above the middle of the skateboard and your heel sticking a little bit out. Your back foot should be in the ollie position.

2. Crouch down and stare at the area in front of your back foot. This will help your body rotation.

3. Pop the board up with you toes, applying pressure near the bolts on the skateboard. Try to point your front foot down during the flip and let your shoulders start your body's rotation.
