That's a start. You still want to get your wheels off the ground and locked in so you are on top of the curb. Just like a regular 50-50 grind. It's just that you're slapping it in there rather than popping on. See the first 10 seconds of this video: [VIDEO]
Approach the curb at a 45 degree angle and shift your weight into the curb. Do not lift the board. Here's a few YouTube resources. [VIDEO] [VIDEO] [VIDEO] [VIDEO]
Tail contacts the ground and front trucks don't not slap. A low ollie is still an Ollie. Slappy don't incorporate ollies. [VIDEO]
