HOW TO DO IT

Heel Scratch

Saechika describes heel-side nose support, brief heel-side tail engagement and rebound. The page has a conflicting Drive 360 heading and detailed leg cues requiring comparison.

Preparation and setting

Stable heel-side nose support and controlled press release. Exact contact geometry remains review-dependent.

Available preparation and unresolved execution

  1. Develop the documented nose-supported position.
  2. Coordinate upper-body opening with modest board movement.
  3. Make only the verified brief tail engagement.
  4. Regulate rebound rather than raising the board excessively.
  5. Recover centred travel.
  6. Stop and reset before repeating.

Learning and practice

Work on stable support and a small return first. The complete scratch contact pathway awaits technical comparison.

Errors and corrections

Excessive board height destabilizes support. Tail engagement held too long changes rebound into braking. Unstable nose load: regress to the initial position.

Observable checks

The component description is retained; full leg/contact geometry is not guessed from the inconsistent page.

teaching summary — coaching review required

S7: develop a controllable supported position, coordinate upper-body opening with the board movement, then regulate the rebound and return. Errors: unstable nose loading; excessive raised-board height; losing balance during tail-edge contact.
