try them on a tramp. get airborne, drop your right or left shoulder (i flip to the right when i lincoln loop, so i drop my right shoulder) and tuck. it's pretty easy actually, its one of the few tricks i have on lock both ways on the tramp. oh and post a vid when you get it!

while on this topic, what would be the best trick to try off a small jump on the side of a run.
-the jump has enough air, this has been tested
-it is not a full out booter but has decent kick to it, its a similar slope to park jumps, just very small

i was thinking lincoln loops would be the least painful if crashed right? any advice on going for it?

hey im just wondering are they really all that hard? it may be the easiest trick i can do on a tramp, easier than a backflip or 360, and i feel like i can easily take it to snow. are they that hard/different to take to snow? like taking a 360 from a tramp to snow was actually much harder than i thought but how easy are lincolns on skis? a helpful response from someone who can do them would be much appreciated. thanks

Yes, it most definitely would be harder because pretty much anyone can 360 on the ground let alone a tramp but for skiing it's like a whole different thing, unrelated to 360's anywhere else, and for lincolns the only thing you have to know is the weight of the skis and you have momentum going forward off the jump which adds to the difficulty. On the tramp try jumping forward while doing the Lincoln to better prepare yourself and make sure you have them completely dialled, same goes for OP.

One thing you have to get over when trying inverts or almost any trick for the first time is that you are going to crash, sometimes you get it the first try but when you crash get your ass up there to huch it again. But definitly get the down on the trampoline

I tried my first ones a couple of days ago. Did 2 ok atempts that a almost stomped. Then I tried another jump that had a really steep takeoff... and for some reason a ate shit. Couldn´t get any momentum and stopped upside down in mid air. Apperently I tore a muscle in my leg so can´t ski for a week.

But anyway , do em like you do on the tramp and try not to be surprised about the weight of your skis.

I learned them on a step up. Helped me minimize the pain of being a n00b. I recommend it.

this. you can put your right arm up as well, then drop it as you pop to help with the momentum. as well, keep your vision focused on one spot continuously as you rotate.

lincoln crashes aren't that bad i find, mostly because you can see the whole flip around, so you're more prepared.

My friend was throwing misty 5s off one of those small side jumps the other day. Was pretty sick.
