Where and when can i try them?

There are no foampits and/or airbags where i live and where i go skiing.
 
Slushy jumps are your friend. Speed is also your friend. It hurts a lot more to underrotate a cork 7 than overrotate.

Make sure you are patient with the rotation, get a good pop.

I do not recommend carving into it your first few times, but if you find it helps you then go for it.

You don't need a huge jump to do it, but dont go trying to huck it off a 10 footer. I like them best off of 25-30 foot jumps.
 
Patience and pop those are your two biggest things to focu on. Don't throw it too flippy either just throw a 7 with your hips forward and shoulders square. remember it's more of a spin not a flip.

I disagree about the 20-30 foot jump though. Do it on the biggest jump you're most comfortable with. In my opinion the more air time the easier. I did my first on a ~70' and it was really nice being able to see where you are and not just spinning blindly. Warm up with a straight 7 if ya want too
 
If you have either down on a tramp just send it off a lofty jump and you'll probably land it first try given that you let your nuts hang below your tall tee. Just be sure to do it at least 5 more times after your first one, I'm serious on that one.
