The first thing i learnt was a kick turn on bank in a skate park , they are handy and really easy! Definatly just work on cruising about finding your balance.

I'd say make sure you're getting that quick pop with the tail, lift that leg that you were popping with (you're goofy so left leg) and bend that front a

Not enough front foot movement. To train this, do some stationary pre work outs. For example. 1. Stand on your board. 2.

[VIDEO] I learned it here and to be honest this helped me a lot. Worth to watch!
