The key to this move, which can be thrown on any wall, under or over vert, or on a kinked wall, is all in the pop at the beginning, and then just keeping the old head turned to get the rotation. |
As a crutch to keep you in the pipe, try learning it on a kinked wall at first |
Learn half Cabs, and switch frontside 540s. |
While riding backward, approach the backside wall on your tow edge. Keep your knees real bent, and your front shoulder lowered and ready to huck. |
About three feet from the lip, start to turn your shoulders and head, but not your board. |
As your board's tail reaches the lip, use that sidecut and camber to get made pop into your spin. |
Grab, I find grabbing helps the rotation stay smooth and balanced. Mute and melon are good choices for learning. Tail and Indy are harder, at least for me. |
By this time you're about to seize up and do another switch 540 that you learned first, right? This is the part I got stuck on, too, but all it takes is keeping those shoulders turned and the heard looking past 540 to 720. |
Now lean your front shoulder toward your knee and suck up the tranny for a smooth landing. Try not to claim it, even thought you're really stoked. |
