All you need is a little compress and extend with the knees, however if you have a look at my Clay's jump in the Beginners Pathway Neutral Stance drill at https://train.ombe.co/programs/beginner-pathway?cid=2838970&permalink=neutral-stance-the-foundation-for-every-movement-hand-eye-coordination-session-3-beg-pathand also my Bosu ball post (under the Session 3 intro post), note that it starts from being in your surfing stance (ie feet at 45 degres to the line on the ball), so it makes it easier to kiss the knees first and then land already in the correct stance.

If you're comfortable with your stance, why worry?Just concentrate on getting front on and stacked on your leading leg 👍

Looking good 👍

I'd suggest trying to keep your elbows up through the turns to keep your back straight and use your arms to bank like an aeroplane so you can get your head lower.

That works, but I think you needed to put the camera in portrait (vertical) instead of landscape (horizontal) 🙂

Regarding the walk up, I'd suggest looking again at the videos of Ant demonstrating the walk up and try to follow along with those.

You have a dash - after https instead of a colon : so the link won't work and I can't copy and paste it in here either ☹️

Libby Stano That link doesn't seem to work.

2) Don't forget to lift your elbows and bring your hands up 🙂

A couple of suggestions:

1) Remember to keep your head up and looking at where you want to go as you walk up

Interesting, but rather overlong and over explained.

The simple version is to buy a Carver Triton with CX trucks (OMBE recommended type) that has a Wheelbase (measurement between the rearmost bolts of the front truck and foremost bolts of the rear truck) which is 1/2" or 1.25cm longer than the distance between the arches of your feet when you're in your surfing stance.

BTW, that guy also copied the "Coffee Cup Arm" term. When I commented that he should credit Clayton for the idea, he deleted my post!

From a personal POV, I hope it doesn't as I'll be busy running my market stall then... 😕
