Do you ride a longboard or a shortboard? If you had to pop like that on a shortboard you would be nose riding big time, and is actually too far for a longboard even 😉

You step quite far forward with your back leg to start with which moves you forward a lot. Step so your back foot is where your knees are when lying down, and then walk up from there.

Try lying on a deck or raised bed with your feet and shins off the side

I had a similar problem, so, when I'm in this position, I push up on what will be my front knee and, at the same time, extend my back leg straight out behind me.

This helps me with the hip lift so I can get the back foot in place before I scoop the front leg through.

Maybe it will work for you too?
