New Loop Instruction Video

Here's a new loop instruction video:

It's very similar to most of what Andy Brandt teaches, but adds a few explanations that make a lot of sense. I especially like his explanation of "tall - small - tall":

  • get tall first, lifting up on the boom, to get the nose up
  • once the board is on the air, get small by pulling yourself up on the boom, and pulling the back leg up, to rotate
  • finally, get tall again to stop the rotation before the landing
Unfortunately, one critical piece of advice is missing in this video: how to grow a pair and go for it ...
