Hand Drags

Make sure that you commit to it, cus if you pussy out half way through you're gonna land on your side not your feet.
 
basicly. make sure if its your first time try it on somethig with a steep landing, and make sure you have speed!
 
1. know exactly what you want to do (handdrag 3, 1, etc)2. get AS MUCH speed as possible (you can always slow down)3. jump up and get horizontal (think lincoln loop)4. drag hand...5. push off your hand to get back "on axis"6. afterbang7. claim
but, you really just want to commit fully, it's a really easy, yet fun trick. i'm sure you can stomp it first try
and, if you're not into that stuff, disregard #6 and #7. haha
 
basically go in, pop touch your hand(s) down push off and make sure u afterbang like a shitless potato.
 
start off in a super tuck so your alreay low to the ground then just put your hand down and plant and spin, then when you get more comfy with it start getting your feet higher and higher
 
Hand drags are hard to explain. I'd recommend learning them over spines or the knuckles of really really steep step ups. Come in with about three times more speed than you think you'll need, lean back and sideways, and drag your hand as your skis leave the snow. Use your hand to set the rotation. Your first twenty hand drags are going to look really retarded, but the more speed you have, the easier they'll get.
