The Squirt Strap in to your snowboard on a flat area.
Get low, and shift to your tail. Place both hands in the snow and extend your back leg.
This will squirt the board out from underneath you and create your pop. Your board should
spring from the ground and land sticking upright, then roll back to your toe edge. Combine this
sequence of moves into one smooth quick motion coming right back to your feet. See how far
you can pop your board from the ground. This is a very similar movement to a backside hand-plant.
Give it a try with one hand and see if you can get a grab. Grabbing on flat ground is
substantially more difficult so don't worry if you cant.
Next, Ride towards a gentle incline, as you come to a top, give the squirt a try here.
First with 2 hands then one. You can actually hand-plant here or on any transition although
steeper transitions are far easier. If you do this exact same squirt motion at
the top of a quarter pipe, you'll be completely upside down doing a banger hand-plant.
