How to

Step by step
  1. Approach the kicker at a steady medium speed with both skis parallel and flat, upper body tall and pointing straight ahead.

    If an edge catches, takeoff spins you and the grab falls apart.

  2. At the lip (the very end of the takeoff ramp), extend both ankles, knees, and hips at once to pop straight up.

    Keep your eyes far past the lip (around your intended landing) so you don't dive forward.

  3. Right after takeoff, bend both knees and lift the skis up in front of you.

    Since your feet move independently, draw the ski you'll grab (say the left ski) slightly toward your body's centerline so the two skis lightly cross in front of you — this brings it within reach.

  4. Grab the outer edge of the left ski near the toe with your right hand (or the right ski with your left hand for the other direction).

    Send the grabbing-side shoulder inward and twist your upper body the opposite way of the grabbing hand, so the two pull against each other and lock the grab.

  5. Keep your hips squared to the front and cross only the upper body.

    Turning from the hips starts a spin and you'll lose the front for landing. Keep your eyes locked on the landing the whole time.

  6. Past the peak, release the hand first, untwist your torso back to the front, and line both skis up parallel with your direction of travel.

  7. Soften both knees to create suspension and land on both skis at once down the slope of the landing, absorbing the impact.

Tips & common mistakes

Tips

The closer you pull the grabbing-side ski to your centerline, the easier it is to reach. Lifting the ski up to your hand by bending the knees keeps your upper body stable — far better than reaching your arm down to chase the ski.

COMMON MISTAKE

Can't reach the ski → you're reaching your arm down instead of lifting the ski. Bend both knees more and draw the grabbing-side ski toward your centerline so it comes to your hand.
