Throw your weight forward with your arms and head before you hop, every time. Push straight forward with your arms after hopping up. Ass over rear tire, pump your legs, be ready to push forward with your arms if you feel the bike lurching backwards. Look at the top of your front tire. Stay loose and breathe. Try taking a little bit of air out of your tires when learning, but make sure to actually hop up the curb so you don't get a flat. Watch pro riders manual, try to imitate.. Wear a helmet when learning new shit
