Best way to learn lincons

Hands down your pants, check to make sure your balls are still there, when you feel that they are, ride in, commit, ride away.
 
Wait for a pow day.. find a 5-10ft drop, build a not too whippy kicker on top and just try them in to pow.. remember to pop off the balls of your feet or you'll end up on your back.. which wont matter if the pow is deep but still.. pow is the best place to learn inverts IMO..
 
most people will tell you to look at the same spot all the time, but for me its easier to look into the sky, pop off with one ski and grab japan. dunno, i have more control with a grab. this is the easiest flip by far
 
oh yeah, do it beside the slopes somwhere offpiste where the lip is very steep and the landing is flat, you know the type of "jumps" we all learned 50 % of our tricks
 
For some reason, I find them harder to do on skis. Don't know why. When it works, it's because I did focus on something in front of me and tried to rotate around that. It's easy to pull your leading shoulder back and start into an over flip kind of thing or like a misty with a flip that's going across the hill.
 
Yes. A lot of people I think try and set them way too hard, to the extent that they begin to carve into the jump that they're about to do it off, which sends them into a flatspin/cork hybrid.

The fact of the matter is, you have the least transferable weight, and the weakest muscles in the direction of rotation of Lincoln, so technique is paramount
 
they are just really hard because you always want to drop one shoulder backwards or forwards, so you will go misty/cork/flat/rodeo

so concentrate on something in front of you
