How to
No Comply
The short answer
A no comply is a trick where your front foot steps off the heel side and taps the ground while your back foot pops the board up to your leg, then you hop back on. Put the ball of your back foot in the middle of the tail, slightly toward the heel side, and your front foot just behind the front bolts at about 45 degrees, heel hanging off the heel side. Let the front foot slip off and tap the ground as the loaded tail snaps, and push the tail back so the nose comes up.
