Handplants

[zoek]

are they easy to do? ive been look at pictures of them for a while (at the beach far far from the white stuff) and it looks ok at least not impossible. do you pop first then stick your hand out or what?

 

[617jibber]

so hot right now

 

[Ifeinforsnow]

pretty darn difficult

 

[scientist]

yea, they are poretty tough alright. here is more than one way to do it tho0ugh.

 

[Black-Bandanna]

Holy shit they're hard. You've gotta almost do a 1/2 backflip type shit and catch the lip with your hand....so hard, but so hot right now.

 

[hiphopopotamus]

ask jon hartman he does them all day long

 

[Drail]

i actually gave it a serious attempt two years ago.

something like 4 pairs of broken poles later, i got myself nowhere but hurt.

 

[ijibgoremtn]

i gave it serious attempts for like an hour or so then my head felt like it was gonnna explode from hitting it on the snow repetitivly

 

[chrismoJBEATS]

are they hard in the pipe?

 

[Black-Bandanna]

They are hard everywhere. Once you get it, you're set though.

i can do them on my snowboard but thats a lot easier. i can't even think of how to do them on skis...

 

[sherpasrock]

i think it would be something like once you come up to the lip of the 1/2 or 1/4 pipe, or wherever you're doing it, you would kinda launch into a backflip super early and grab the lip with your hand. but im not really quite sure. ive never tried it before.

 

[STACKS]

there pretty damn hard plus you need a good set-up to pull it off

 

[mnjib]

steve you like the pee pee as well.

 

[hurrisun]

i can kinda do one i dont actually stall on my hand or anyhitng its kinda like a flare type thing but i go half way then put my hand on the lip and get myself around its kinda cool even if its not a hand plant

 

[zoek]

so its like you stick your hand out like an anchor to get you around? kinda like a cartwheel then... ahaha sounds like im going to cain myself trying this

 

[poofartpee]

looks easy but much harder once u try

 

[SHastatahoe]

I can do them on a snowboard, and its pretty cake money. Doing them on skiis is a little harder, Ive done them a few times, but never done them very well.

 

[grams.]

in my opinion..handplants look sick when done right

 

[Roy]

I found hand plants right easy, got it first try. Just kinda lean back and a bit into the hand you wanna plant, then as you reach down as you come off the lip, kick your feet up like your gonna do a one handed hand stand, if you do it right it barely put any weight on your arm, and as your coming back in you have to push off the wall with your hand to get your skis back under you.

 

[Shpadoinkle]

hmmmmm...

 

[(fujative)]

ive always wanted to try handplants and have done little shitty ones but never had a good set up at all

 

[Anti-Hero]

hopefully sugarbush will be getting some snow this year and we can get that minipipe set up, cause im deadset on learning these things

 

[zoek]

easy as that hey... so how does how does he come out of that- switch?
