Fs tail slides and heel flips. I can lock into the tail slide sometimes but lot of times I'm either bonking the ledge or barely missing it. Still trying to get heel flips but keep landing in front of the board

These. I can do tailslides or I guess stalls on banks easy but something doesn't work with popping in on even a curb height to tail. Always a miss or get just a little bump off the tail, sometimes I completely lose the board when jumping. fs 180's come easy so I don't know if it's a commitment issue or if I'm coming in completely wrong. shoulders seem stiff always.

Heelflips I usually land with the back foot on board and front foot on the ground on the toeside.

Also trying to learn bs feebles on curbs.

Fwiw most people agree that tailslides are tough on small/short ledges/curbs. Something around low-knee height is prime for me. I also notice the front foot doesn't do much other than minimal control over the front of the board.

Keeping the tail glued to your popping foot and having finesse/aggression to get the lock in is my frame of mind

Thanks for the tips. Today I ended up just practicing going to tail on a rough unwaxed concrete box incline going higher and higher and it seemed to help to jump kind of up and over with the back truck to tail instead of jumping from the side. Got my balance better on top of the edge rather than coming from the side and just scraping a bit and coming off.
