Ski Airmat Straight.

1. Approach at a slow, controlled speed — just enough to keep moving.

   Bend your knees to about 30 degrees, lean your upper body slightly forward, and look at the lip (the end of the take-off ramp). At first, prioritize a straight approach over speed.

2. Just before you reach the lip, extend your bent knees and stand up tall, popping straight up.

   Think of bringing your head toward the ceiling rather than pushing forward. Diving forward lands you nose-heavy and is dangerous, so don't force it — just a light upward extension.

3. Once airborne, keep your knees softly bent and spread both arms a little out to your sides.

   Keep the board directly under your feet and move your gaze to the landing spot (the airmat) ahead. The less you swing the board front-to-back, the straighter you'll drop.

4. Land on your whole back.

   Just before contact, tuck your chin and round your chest slightly, reaching the mat with your shoulder-blade area first. Spread both arms out to the sides to increase contact area so the impact spreads out instead of hitting one point.

5. The instant you touch the mat, relax and let yourself sink in.

   An airmat compresses and then pushes back, so a stiff body gets bounced off and loses posture. Keep your chin tucked while you sink to protect your head.

6. Start from the smallest jump.

   Rather than chasing distance, focus on grooving the sequence — pop, air, back landing — into your body first.
