Airmat Wildcat.

1. First, make sure you can already do a stable backflip.

   The Wildcat also rotates backward, but where a normal backflip goes toward your heel side (your back), the Wildcat keeps the board pointing in the direction of travel and falls back over the tail. It's a cartwheel-style flip. Get this difference clear in your head before you go.

2. Approach at a steady speed, just enough not to stall.

   Keep the board flat and keep your upper body upright. Look out toward the lip's edge.

3. Just before the lip, sink both knees deep and load evenly across the whole sole, from the balls of your feet to your heels, to store the pop.

   Keep your hips stacked over the board for now — don't lean yet.

4. At the lip, extend both legs sharply straight up to pop, and at the same moment drop your back-foot (tail-side) shoulder straight toward the tail.

   Your front-foot (nose-side) leg and hip rise, and your upper body starts the rotation first. Unlike a backflip where you arch toward your heel side, the Wildcat keeps your shoulders and upper body parallel to the board and falls back over the tail.

5. The amount of spin is set the instant you leave the lip — you can't add more in the air.

   So as soon as you're off, pull both knees to your chest and draw your hands in tight. The more compact you make yourself, the faster you rotate on the same amount of spin.

6. Send your eyes over your back-foot shoulder, toward the tail you're dropping.

   Chasing the view with your eyes pulls your body all the way around.

7. When the air mat comes into your lower view, release your tucked knees and arms, extend your body to brake the spin, and take the landing across your back and rear with a wide surface.

   Unlike a snow landing, don't fight to set the board and resist here — give your weight to the mat and let it absorb the impact.
