HOW TO DO IT
Bloody Dracula
Front hand reaches behind the back to the tail while rear hand also holds the tail. Sources discuss crossed and later uncrossed usage.
Preparation and setting
Use comfortable stationary positioning or the appropriate supervised training-board context first. For any snow application, an independently controlled take-off, flight and landing must already exist; this card does not prescribe a new jump size or trajectory.
Execution / application sequence
- Establish the selected contact in comfortable positioning before changing airborne demand.
- Rehearse the behind-back contact in a comfortable stationary training position.
- Confirm both tail holds.
- Explore only a modest source-style nose-down/front-leg extension.
- Return without forcing shoulder range..
- For a technically reviewed snow application, preserve the established take-off, take the hold only after departure, then release and recover board alignment before contact.
Learning and practice
Learn contact, route and modest styling as separate tasks. Rehearse the return as deliberately as the hold. Add a short contact to a familiar controlled air only after the specific version has been technically reviewed; shorten or omit the hold if landing organization becomes rushed.
Errors, limits and corrections
Shared tail contact does not equal Double Tail. Do not enforce an arm-crossing rule across all historical versions.
Observable checks
The intended hand, contact zone and route are distinguishable; styling is modest and recoverable; the hold is deliberately released before landing.

01
Additional teaching summary — coaching review required
The source describes front-leg extension, a bent rear leg and a downward nose poke. This is descriptive evidence, not a complete execution prescription.
02
Additional editorial review notes
S6 reports historical crossed-arm requirements and later uncrossed usage; no universal arm-crossing rule is imposed.
