    I've been at it lately on a slalom set up and I find you can get a little more pop if you put your front foot where it would normally go but put your back foot on the kick tail. Almost like a baby ollie when you are holding your deck

    i hit a kicker a few times today into the grass first before i do it on pavement, i landed some of them which was pretty good but since i was on grass i stopped and fell off. i think i can do it on pavement tomorrow and im gonna try and go for it again on pavement soon

    Yeah man I would recommend just going for it. Like you'll never get it unless you go hard. And if you fall you gotta get up and try again.

    Pretty much, falling is just a part of skateboarding. Fall down, get back up, and try not to fall because of the same error again.

    look at my "epic early grabbing" video and look at what not to do from my friend haha. go fast and if u need to, bail like he did haha. at the very end i do an actual decent early grab

    really all you need to do is lean back a little and hold on. when u reach the top of your air, let go and start pushing down, so the board sticks to your feet
