don't look too far over your shoulder or else you will start to rotate and get weird.. kinda don't look .. hard to explain.. but once you get them they are hella fun


Smoking pot leads to uhh... I forget.

look until you see the jump near you, right before you pop look straight forwards, up hill. it looks better and takes more nut to not look.

-jon, skiing the ice so the other half of the country doesnt have to.

you have to pop. i find its easier to kinda come in with your upper boddy at like a 90 degree angle, and then pop up off the lip. thats all, and make sure your feet are straight, and not duckfooted

Pop, and dont lean forward or backward too much, its so easy to get off balnce in them.

When i do them i look over my shoulder heading towards the jump and still look over it taking off, what works for me is not moving my shoulders at all

NO NO NO NO NO


listen you go at the jump with comidence and when you aprocah the lip look back at your friends and do a grab spot your landing and look to see if any hot chicks were watching

thats what i do and it seems to work fo me

personally I like looking straight uphill right after I take off the jump, it helps with my grabs and keeps me from spinning or getting mostly unbalanced at all. And if you want to have fun with it try throwing in a rocket air, adds more of a challenge

I think the safety is the best way to do it.
