Method Air.

1. On a heelside approach, come in noticeably faster than your usual jumps — a method opens the body out wide, so it needs more airtime and height.

   Look at the top lip of the kicker, not out past it.

2. At the lip, load both feet almost at once and push the board straight up through the balls of your feet (the toe pads).

   Stay centered over the board and pop vertically rather than diving forward — that leaves you room to lay the body out in the air.

3. Right off the takeoff, reach your front hand (left hand for regular) down and across to grab the middle of the heelside (heel) edge between the two bindings (melancholy grab).

   Grabbing too far toward the nose or tail will spoil the arch that follows.

4. Using the grab as an anchor, push your hips forward (toward the sky).

   As the hips drive forward, your upper body and both legs naturally trail backward and the body bows into an arch. Don't think of 'kicking' the legs back — feel the legs follow as a reaction to driving the hips out.

5. Keep both knees bent at about 30 to 40 degrees, not locked straight.

   Locked legs take longer to pull back in and you'll be late to land. Staying bent lets you reset fast. Reach your trailing hand (right) behind your head — it deepens the backward lean of your upper body and opens the shape wider.

6. Once you clear the peak and your eyes drop to the fall line, release the grab and pull your hips back to neutral.

   Bringing the hips back returns the legs forward so the board comes back under you.

7. Land with knees and ankles flexed, catching the snow with the full base to absorb the impact.

   If you touch down before unwinding the arch you'll be backseat and catch the tail, so bring your upper body upright first, then set down.
