1. Speed--get as fast as you can get going
2. Angle--depends on your speed, wave size and shape and where the lip is
3. Ollie--not kidding. backfoot down front foot up, smack the lip
4. Grab rail--front side, back side, or both
5. Game face--ya gotta look good in mid air for the photogs.....
6. Claim it--land it. and get a Bro to back you up all day long......

sharp cutbacks:
bet some speed Speed--need enough, not alot.
get low, weight and pivot on the back foot, lead with your head follow with shoulders and carve through the turn with front foot.....

that sounds sexy. i can do the cutbacks pretty well. ill try to remember what to do to get some air the next time i have a good opportunity, but it will take me a while just to remember that over all the thrill of the ride.
thanks,
