Pre-Requisites:You must be able to edge out on your heels into the flats. Also you must be able to do a consistent Ollie in the flats.

How To: This trick is all foot Position and timing. I recommend putting your back foot all the way on the back of the tail and your front foot right in the center of the board. Now that your feet are set, Edge out on your heel side edge into the flats about 20-25 feet. You will want to throw this trick right when you flatten out off your edge. If you try this trick while you are edging out you are more than likely going to leave the board behind you or you might spin it too far. So edge out on your heels , right when you flatten off your going to want to bend your knees just like a regular Ollie and right when you pop you are going to want to use your front foot to kick it around. It is mainly your front foot deciding where the board is going to go.

Upon landing, you will want to spot the board landing under your feet. Try to have your feet land the same way they left the board before the trick. You will want to land with even weight on your feet or a little more on your back foot.

Hand Position on the rope: When landing I recommend landing with one hand on the rope and use your back hand for balancing.

Tips: If you are having trouble getting the board around, try to help your front foot out by giving the board a little more swing with your back foot. Meaning kick your backfootward the heel side shore also if you don't think you are getting high enough to try this trick. Try it over a little slalom buoy and you are more than likely going to get over it. Sounds weird but you will force yourself too pop that hard.
