Get them solid on tramp and then go for it. Kick your foot up and over your shoulder, look where your ski is going, and reach for japan. This should set you into the right axis. Spot and stomp. Hope this helps

I got flats first try on snow, hadn't done a backflip on snow or flatspins on the tramp. I couldn't do flats on the tramp until I did it on a kicker. If you watch a bunch of video, you should be able to mimic it. Just kick your feet outwards to the side and reach with your right hand like you would to grab japan. That will give you it.

Keep your upper body over your legs in the air. Be reaching for the Japan. If you try to lay it out, you will look like a goober
