1) Roll fast enough that you feel like you're rolling smoothly and comfortably across the ground. 2) Set up with your back foot on the tip of the tail and your front foot just behind the front truck bolts with your toes hanging off the edge of the board. Keep your body straight-- your head should be directly above the center point between your feet. 3) Bend down keeping your head above your board. (Don't lean forward, just squat.) 4) Pop your ollie and jump with it but don't throw your shoulders back as you go up. Right after your tail taps the ground, kick your front foot forward with the heel in a kind of diagonal direction. Kick it out in front of you but also kick it a little toward the direction in which you are rolling. This helps to give you a flip that you can see and catch easier. 5) Don't lean back! Don't try to bail! Catch the board, push it down and land. Roll away happy.
