How to

Step by step
  1. Carry a steady speed on a moderate slope, with light pressure toward the heel side of your back foot.

    Look slightly ahead in your direction of travel and keep your upper body tall.

  2. Just before tapping, shift your weight onto the back foot to sink the tail.

    Ease the pressure off your front foot at the same time so the nose rides a little high and only the tail drops toward the snow.

  3. Bend your back knee (around 90-100 degrees), flex the ankle, and load the heel side of the back foot as you tap the tail down with a quick "tick" on the snow.

    Don't press into it like a tailpress; touch and release instantly.

  4. As the tail hits and the board flexes back, snap your back knee and ankle straight quickly.

    The snow's push-back and your own leg extension line up in the same up-and-forward direction, so you spring off lightly. Keep your weight stacked over the board, not left behind.

  5. In the brief moment of air right after the rebound, move into your next ollie or spin.

    Pop again while you still have the height the tap gave you, or start turning your upper body, and it links as a combo. If you're ending it solo, bend both knees and land nose and tail together to absorb the impact.

Tips & common mistakes

Tips

The shorter the tail stays in contact, the sharper the rebound. If you hold the press, the board's flex energy leaks away, so straighten the back leg right after contact to "let go" and capture the snap-back.

COMMON MISTAKE

The tail stays down too long and turns into a press → caused by keeping the back leg bent after contact. Straighten the back knee and ankle the instant it touches and push yourself off the snow for a short tap.
