How to

Step by step

  1. Carry plenty of speed on a medium to steep slope.

    The flow is the same as the 540: pivot 180 → hook → pop off the nose → spin backside → land. The height and rotation for two turns come from the pivot and the pop.

  2. From a nose press, pivot 180 around the nose to end up switch.

    Lead with your upper body toward the toe side to swing the tail around.

  3. As the pivot comes around, dig in hard on the heel side so the nose hooks for an instant.

    Pause your eyes here.

  4. Pop straight up off the hooked nose (since you're switch, it's the trailing end of the board as you travel).

    Your spin is set in this instant and can't be added in the air, so pop while the pivot's rotation is still alive, throwing your arms hard in the spin direction.

  5. The moment you leave the snow, pull your knees to your chest and your arms to your body to get as small as possible, and keep rotating the same way as the pivot (backside from your switch stance).

    The more compact you are, the faster you spin on the same momentum, buying time to finish two full turns (720). Keep your eyes leading in the spin direction.

  6. Past one and a half turns, open your arms slightly to slow the spin and spot the landing.

    Catch the snow with both feet together and land switch, bending your knees to absorb the impact.

Tips & common mistakes

Tips

First make the Andy 540 reliable all the way to a normal-stance landing. The Andy 720 is the same hook and pop timing from the 540, just stronger.

COMMON MISTAKE

You fall short at one and a half turns → not enough rotation at the pop. Keep the hook to an instant so the pivot's rotation carries into the pop, and tuck your arms and knees in tighter in the air to spin faster.
