This guide is designed to showcase how to do a Tiger Claw or Flat Top on a Longboard for a regular stance, so if you ride goofy like me you would have to do everything the opposite way.

• Begin by standing with your main foot under the screws, towards the middle of your board and your back foot on the tail.
• Get your front foot of the board and the weight of your back foot on the tail will make the boards front flip up.
• Rotate your back foot to the left as the boards kicking up so the board pops to the right not straight up.
• Using your right hand, take hold of the front left edge of your board while you take a step forward with your back foot. (Your front foot is still on the ground)
• As the boards in the middle of its rotation, your right hand guides the rest of the 180 while you jump in the air with your back foot.
• Line up the board as you finish the revolution and jump on it!

Once your able to pop the board almost to a full 180 using your hang only to track it around, you can move on to a pressure flip. A pressure flip is the same but you kick out the 180 without using your hand and only take one step.
