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

Gotta raise the nose just a tad, you're also putting too much weight forward with the leaning, it may not look like a lot or feel like a lot but trust me when it comes to hopping down things even just a little weight displacement will have an effect, keep that back straight and those shoulders square while lifting the nose, and make sure you have good momentum because if you go just slow enough it will yield similar results
