put your weight on your back foot. Jump up while pushing down on your back foot. Your front truck should go up first. (Like in the picture below)

Slide

    Slide your front foot across the board. this will straighten your board so it's level. (optional)

Landing

The landing is easy just move your foot back to the board from where you slid it. Don't bother working on your position you can get that back to normal position on land.

Random Tips
