are they easy to do? ive been look at pictures of them for a while (at the beach far far from the white stuff) and it looks ok at least not impossible. do you pop first then stick your hand out or what?

Holy shit they're hard. You've gotta almost do a 1/2 backflip type shit and catch the lip with your hand....so hard, but so hot right now.

They are hard everywhere. Once you get it, you're set though.

i think it would be something like once you come up to the lip of the 1/2 or 1/4 pipe, or wherever you're doing it, you would kinda launch into a backflip super early and grab the lip with your hand. but im not really quite sure. ive never tried it before.

I can do them on a snowboard, and its pretty cake money. Doing them on skiis is a little harder, Ive done them a few times, but never done them very well.

I found hand plants right easy, got it first try. Just kinda lean back and a bit into the hand you wanna plant, then as you reach down as you come off the lip, kick your feet up like your gonna do a one handed hand stand, if you do it right it barely put any weight on your arm, and as your coming back in you have to push off the wall with your hand to get your skis back under you.
