HOW TO DO IT
China Air
Front hand holds toe edge ahead of the front foot while both knees bend. Its contact location differs from between-binding Japan contact.
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.
- Locate the forward toe-edge zone.
- Bring the flexed board toward the hand.
- Hold briefly with both knees bent.
- Return and release..
- 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
Between-binding contact changes the zone. Do not equate all bent-knee toe holds with Japan.
Observable checks
The intended hand, contact zone and route are distinguishable; styling is modest and recoverable; the hold is deliberately released before landing.

editorial review notes
Related to Japan, but the contact position is distinct.
