How to : Lincoln loops - side flips
Ok kids. If you don't even know what this is, it looks like this :

you are traveling forward yet spinning like a cartwheel. Or as if there is a pole going through your core and you are being spun on it like a chicken rotisserie. Ok bad example.
Approach the jump fast and with confidence. You don't get much "pop" setting this rotation so you MUST go faster then you usually do. If you pussy out and speed-check you WILL get messed up (this is true with most tricks)
This is not hard but it is absurdly scary the first time. stay low coming into the jump and as you're feeling the lip put your head upside-down by your feet and do a hard "side crunch" with your stomach. If you're a fat slob this isn't go to go over very well, so get in shape first.
You will float completely upside down and it will feel as though you are not going to continue rotating.
STAY TUCKED and you will rotate as your feet come back under you. Don't worry about a grab at the beggining.
No one does these so the entire chairlift will flip their lids even if you don't grab. Gapers LOVE these. And as we all know I LOVE GAPERS.
Get it on video if you're going to attempt it. Then post. I expect videos from 4 specific people within 3 weeks. You know who you are.

it's best to learn on a smaller jump because on a bigger one you'll tend to over-rotate. In this case under-rotating is alot better then over-rotating.
