I tried it into powder so for me it was not scary at all. But I guess you just have to be motivated enough to be able to do it.

I was able to land my first few, they were blowing snow into piles on a closed run and you could use the peaks of the hills to flip off of, I'm trying to gety myself to tuck a bit more to make the flip a bit faster.. Once you try it for the first time you'll realize it's not that tricky

Yeah it is not tricky at all. Just have to do it the first time and then it should be fine

when i go out west this year (utah probably) im gonna try this.
They look sick but unfortunately i dont see powder deeper than 6 inches more than once a year at my local hill.

I have only tried a few of these. I can land them in powder but the only time i tried it in park i landed right near upside down

I think its a confidence issue for me, hopefully try em again this year.

For park, what do you guys think would be easier doing it off the lip of a jump or side skipping it and flipping off the knuckle of the landing into the sweet spot?

Seems like it has to be hitting it off the knuckle would be easier.

Yeah after watching some more videos of people doing them i would agree. If i get that then bring i can try some 5 footers hopefully. Thanks
