as far as i’m concerned, a flying squirrel is front hand performing a method style grab, either heel edge between the bindings or just outside and then the back hand performing a mirror imaged version.  basically do a method then do a switch method (ie. use the other hand and ride switch) and then do them both at the same time.  If you imagine what this would look like it’s not so different to the position people take when flying wing suits or in fact squirrals in flight!  Jeremy props for putting up a prize and I can’t wait for some photos…..especially of mizu!

Meat curtains I understand to be both hands through your legs from front to back then grabbing the heel edge.  Double roast beef, but their name is way better!

So my picture earlier is correct?

Not exactly, if the guy in the picture grabbed his board behind his left binding with his left hand as well, that for me would be a flying squirrel.  I agree if you put it into google you get a few similar one handed versions but without getting to involved with the actual name I’m really talking about grabbing with both hands on the heel edge at the same time.  Could SSX tricky really be wrong surely not!


Can’t wait to see some pics!!

my mistake, I thought that thing coming out of his face was his hand but you’re right he’s got the squirrel going there!  The question now is what the hell that thing is!  I think i’ve seen similar on an earwig?

Even though I won’t get to shred for five months at the very least I have been considering the best way to do this trick.  I guess the fronside 180 version is the first one to pop into mind but I’d worry about losing it over the front.  To stop that you could instead go with it and do a frontflip but i’d be well out of my depth there and i’m struggling to even visualise it.  Perhaps the backflip version could be done…coming out switch…..better be lots of pow….......basically it’s hard so good luck to all of you lucky enough to be shredding this season and hopfully flying like squirrels!
