Posted whenever someone asks what a Chinese nollie is. Slow motion shows the trick is real and how it works.

“I think you explained it real well, it's a weird little trick. This vid is a great example. I love how the board wiggles when it's bounced into the air haha”

When you're just cruising and see an uneven sidewalk crack where a sidewalk tile might be popped up an inch or a little higher than the previous one: Shift your front foot onto your first two front bolts (around where the concave of your board starts), then take all your weight off of your board while forcing your boards two front wheels to "pop" over it, kind of like you're swinging a nose manual forward really hard
