And you could practice, you can just, you can practice flicking it off curb, like just the motion. And I didn't even land on my board that time. It's just about the motion of how you spin your feet, like you're learning how to catch your board. I mean, you can try this all day, like I practiced this a million times before I even get it down consistent enough to start doing lines and stuff like that. Just kick it, watch your board, and that's just the motion in order for you to land the trick. And you're just basically just kicking it, you're seeing how the board flips, you're watching your board, you're seeing the grip tape, so when you see your grip tape you're going to start to land on it. So I got the grip tape right there. See that black grip tape, you're going to start to want to come down and start the landing trick."
