Trick

Rocket Air

Both hands hold the nose simultaneously.

HOW TO DO IT

Rocket Air

Both hands hold the nose; the source bends the front leg to bring the nose toward the chest while extending the rear leg downward. Both feet remain bound.

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

  1. Establish the selected contact in comfortable positioning before changing airborne demand.
  2. Establish simultaneous nose contact in a compact position.
  3. Add a modest front-leg tuck and rear-leg extension.
  4. Recover the board beneath the body and release..
  5. 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

Double Nose contact alone and the full styled version can be distinct. Do not treat this as a one-foot trick.

Observable checks

The intended hand, contact zone and route are distinguishable; styling is modest and recoverable; the hold is deliberately released before landing.
