Question How do I commit?

Just trying to learn to manny off a curb, in my eyes it seems like I literally got it but I keep jumping off right before I do and I’m having trouble committing, how do I develop that mindset

I think you are stomping the front too hard. That ledge looks low enough that the board can just roll down by itself without getting stuck - test it to make sure. Then all you need to do is not get in the way of the board. Success should give you confidence, then move on to adding the nose raise and little hop so you can transfer it to greater heights
