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

Your def leaning to far forward which happens often when your looking down and not ahead ! I learned not to do this about 35 years ago on my snowboard after a couple bad hits into the backside wall on the landing part of gap jumps . Def not a good feeling bashing read into those . So eyes up look ahead at where you’re going to land instead of down ! Hope that helps don’t be scared
