Have you done any yet in the transition? like on the ramp? it's easy to start there and then work your way higher. For a hand plant, at least when you're learning you want your balance to still be in the transition. here your balance is going up onto the deck which is why you eventually fall toe side onto the deck. once you get really good at them you can stall them out on the deck like all the pros did back in the '80s. Right now you're grabbed on the board. looks great! and you're planting looks good. it's just going to be a matter of maneuvering your body over your arm which is the hardest part lol. One of the best tutorials I found which i would wish I would have had when I first started learning them. was this one by Raddii [VIDEO] If you're ever looking to learn old school tricks, he has a bunch of amazing tutorials on old tricks that a lot of people haven't even heard of. anyways, great work dude! I can't wait to see you send this eventually!
