Now, when you feel that you are about to ride back down the ramp, shift your weight to your back trucks, unwind your arms and pivot.

This is a lot like a kickturn. You should pivot all the way around, 180 degrees. You should feel like you are whipping around, and it should feel fun! Or, at least exciting.

When your front trucks land, you want your weight on them. Don't lean up the ramp. Make sure you keep your weight down the ramp, on the front foot when it lands.
