Get your composure right, keep your balance up. Keep your knees down. Focus on that front foot being straight. This is one of the first tricks people learn in snowboarding. As soon as you've got this, you can move onto the next step and keep on going. When landing Ollies and Nollies, you have the same momentum going. You landing here, you're leaving off here. If you just get your balance focused, flat based, keep your feet coming back and forth. Pop off, pop off. It's pretty much the same movement. You can move onto the next trick after you that. Land them perfect right away."
