Answer 1

i think your problem is your flicking the nose. {i think} but you should
be really flicking the concave of the nose what i mean about that is
where the curve starts that helps me alot i got it on my third try to hit the concave so you should do the same and when you pop,you jump, keep your back foot in the same position, then flick the concave, suck your legs up to your chest, wait till it turns, remember not to flick too far or probably that could be your problem,
but at least remember this then go do it, so i was saying put your front foot back in then land.


for a simple way if you didnt understand:

1. pop
2.jump
3.flick with front front
4.wait....
5.put your front foot in
6.land
