when skiers are doing handrag cork on stuff other than knuckles for jumps and stuff, if they approach left the spin left, and the same for rightside.
my question is.. has anybody ever done a handrag cork 3/5 whatever in like a lipslide? so approach left and spin right, or vice versa? it sounds hard as fuck to me.. and i don't think its ever been done..?
do you think its possible? or anyone have a footage?
maybe if you were hauling ass you could slide your skis up on their tips as you are turning in left and get completely horizontal to the ground, staring down at it with your hands dragging, and then if you were going fast enough to hold that position for a few feet before you are flying off whatever feature you are using, then you could spin it out to the right.
i dunno if that makes sense but thats how i see it in my head.
you mean like a butter to cork handrag thing?
[QUOTE]The hand drag pulls you in the direction that the hand being dragged is.., so a left side spin would be initiated with a left hand dragging the snow on the left side of your body. spinning the opposite way wouldn't make sense. [/QUOTE]
yeah but you could twist to the left to a position where you are dragging both hands, and from that position you could shift your momentum.
yeah, seems to me like it could work? if you could start it somewhat early so that you are dragging both hands for a few feet or whatever, and then kinda push off w/ your right hand to initiate the spin or flip or however you wanna come out of it.
i dunno though if what i am picturing has anything to do with what the original poster was talking about.
