Side to Side - The side to side tilt is done by standing with both feet parallel to the line formed by the screws in the middle of the board.
Front to Back - The front to back tilt is done by standing with both feet forming a 90° angle with the line formed by the screws.
On both tilts the goal is to keep the edges of the board off of the floor.
