HAND DRAGS!

holla, ive recently learnt hand drags by sitting on my skis and going off a jump,

how do you guys do it while standing up and then jumping down and dragging it?
 
I've been trying to learn them as well

I think you'd have to REALLY carve for it to happen standing up. Like laying into a turn
 
i have been trying to think of it as like a high speed worm turn except popping a little bit and dragging your hands instead of your body, at least off of knuckles
 
Best analogy I've heard is pretend youre putting your hands on a fence and swinging you legs around and over the imaginary fence
 
I learnt them sitting down first, then got them standing up by kinda carving in hard left and popping hard onto my left hand down and throwing my right hand kinda behind me if that makes sense.

Kinda similar to a cartwheel, find comitting to getting the right hand properly behind you is crucial.

Vid here;

They're actually super easy and really fun tricks to do, probably my favourite trick in the limited selection I have down.
 
to kind of build on the post above me. carve hard, and as you take off the lip (like as your skis are leaving) reach back for the ground. It will drag your hands and set your rotation
