Popping

Why can't I pop? I can get like 2-3 inches max off flat ground and most real jibbers can 180 on a normal downhill slope.

And, what's the highest you've ever seen anyone pop off flat ground?

pop off tails, u hve to do this a lot to get used to it, put all your weight on ur tails, and then pop up, the highest ive ever seen anyone pop was in some ski video they were playing at a shop, some guy jumped like, over the whole rail without using a jump

just so you know, the 180 isn't relative to how high you can ollie, because you barely need to get your skis off the ground to pop a little 180.

yea 180 are quite easy to do on flat ground, you dont even need 2 inches of air... and dont jump, use your tail to pop thats way better and funnier!

I practice popping off the hill. It really works man, try it. I hear its called ' jumping'. Practice that in your bedroom infront of a mirror and after a few weeks you should be ready to bring it to the snow. goodluck.
