    you should go faster and find a bigger hill.
    My problem when i didnt know how to pendulum was that i slid during the ending of the hill and not the hill itself so i had no way of bringing it back.

    id try to throw your free arm move over your shoulder when you start the slide ("punch the parrot")
    -a lot of weight on your slide hand
    -go for compactness, lay that back leg flat
    -keep lookin down the hill
    -use your free arm to "pendy" back (i.e. you throw it over your shoulder to rotate by "closing" your torso, rotate back to "open" your torso and initiate the pendy)
    -speed & courage are your friends

    Go much faster. You can see the board start to come back around, but it hooks up because you've stopped moving. And keep that back knee DOWN. It helps with the swing movement and gets weight off the board.

    i like to do what swiss said, along with try to push my whole body out with my feet so i can get sorta an extra slide

    but looking down the hill and throwing your torso and arm works

    back knee down, and go faster.
    Ride for the stoke, not for everyone else.
