I really love this trick because it's a gateway progression into all kinds of fun classic tricks. Tricks like the christ air or the Jesus walk aka walking on water. You can get as creative as you like with this one.

Practice grabs. Go crazy, just do as many grabs as you can imagine. Nose grabs, tail grabs, mute grabs, a roast beef! Get really comfortable grabbing that board everywhere.
Step two
Learn how to do one footers. When you jump, go for a grab and start slipping your back foot out. The first attempts you don't even have to get your foot all the way off. Progressively work your way to a solid one footer.
Step three
Timing with the board off. You want to grab your board on your way up. By the time you hit the apex you want your board to be all the way off. As soon as you feel yourself coming down get that board back on your feet.... less
