nah jon is doing alot of kangaroo flips in ski porn thats probably what your thinking of...a lincoln loop is basically a barell roll on skis...all you do is just do a sideways flip, so instead throwing yourself forward or backward, you throw yourself left or right and yeah thats as much as i can explain about it...there fun as hell

a lincoln is like a forward facing cartwheel. you go off the jump, do a cartwheel while still facing forward the entire time, and regular.

Lincoln Loop
When you reach the lip of the jump, drop your shoulder and wind your arms up to the side so your body will flip sideways.

thats how i do it

Lincoln loop is a mix between a backflip and a sideflip, you start it like a sideflip and you land it like a backflip, but everybody calls sideflips Lincoln loops, but they are in fact two different tricks.

no lincoln loops are sideflips, what you're thinking of is corked backflip, some people call it flat 3 although that's a pretty weak flat 3

okej, but that's the way jakob wester describes it and i figured he knows what he's talking about, but everybody calls it the same so it dosen't really matters to me, I just do them ;D

yeah if you wanna get technical, a lincoln is more than just a side flip. but i think splitting hairs when labeling ski tricks ais retarded so ill keep describing lincolns as side flips.

oh and as for doube lincolns, whenever i try to do a fast lincoln i end up spinning with it so a double would be very hard for me

when u do a loop the bigest thing is to look fowerd the whole time or you cold end up doin a 90 in the middle of it and that could hurt but its not too hard if you just comit to them
