This is a tricky thing to master at first, but works quite well. I tend to favor riding across flat areas like this. As you are riding, on your toe edge with a very low edge angle, you can very gradually, reduce the toe pressure on the front foot and then pressure your heel edge. The entire time, you are holding toe pressure on the rear foot. What happens is at the nose of the board, the heel edge is gently engaged while at the tail, the toe edge is engaged.
