It's easier on a higher Manny pad(within your ability) than say a curb high one.

Agree about trying them on higher pads. Put your weight farther toward than you think you need to. I feel like they're easier to clean up if you snowplow/fall forward rather than if your back truck is dropping. Don't worry if your back wheels clip on the way out, the pop out starts to make more sense after a while trying them.
what quality posts do you have under your umbrella son of a bitch

This, plus:
  • Front foot in pocket, always.
  • Consciously guiding with the front arm can help.
  • Focus on being in Nose Manual, on the pad, before and when popping. Like, full-on visualization.
  • Getting out without clipping works like nosebonking (?) a crack in the ground.
  • There is more but I am drunk.

EDIT: Something that has def improved mine is that I kept doing them on flat ground. Like, when I have a low day I'll try to do very long ones, or try to get from A to B as slow as possible, go over cracks, little challenges. I see a lot of people who can do them on pads without having a solid stance/balance, probably since most pads are rather short.

above all else

do not bother practicing stationary

better off just actually trying it on a medium/large pad

i find the taller obstacles allow you to be more light on your landing and keep your balance where you need it

Trying to relearn standup fs 5-0s on transition properly.  I can grind for only about a foot no matter how fast I go. Its really getting to me because I want this in my bag so I can do them all over the place at any park.

There’s a huge gap from lot to lot that’s big enough that I’d have to be towed. I work on airplanes so after work my coworkers tow me around thinking I’m just dicking around but I’m actually getting used to popping my board at 20 mph.
