Pop

Instead of pulling your foot up the board like Ollie, flip outward with your toes. Place your foot in the corner of your board.
Jump up as you lift your board to allow it to spin full-circle.
Flip

You need to be precise about timing and flipping the board. The board should be level in the air to make it easier to catch.
