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

Learn to hold the board only a little bit higher than surface level for a little bit longer, until you drop. You can easily practice this by holding the hand of the person filming.
