Your back foot should be in the heel-side pocket of the tail, with your toes pointing slightly forward. This is key for the frontside scoop.

Pop and Scoop
Pop the tail down and use your back foot to scoop the board forward and in front of you.
Guide
Your front foot lifts up and slightly forward to guide the board through its rotation.
Catch and Land
As the board completes the 180-degree spin, catch it with your feet over the bolts and land.
Golden Tip!
The board tends to fly in front of you. You need to jump forward a little to land on it.
⚠️ Common Mistakes
Board doesn't rotate the full 180: Scoop harder with your back foot.
Landing with only one foot: Commit to jumping forward with the board.
Board flips over: You are likely flicking with your front foot. It should just lift up.
