Chop Hop

Saturday, 22nd October at 12:00 pm by Bubble

The Chop Hop is an entry level type of jump and can be done on almost any board and rig setup.  It is also the beginning of your path into aerial stunts!

Preparation - Back hand down the boom, Unhook and get low, spot your piece of chop

Compression - As you go into the trough pull down on the boom, push down on feet all together

Lift - As soon as the nose of the board hits the crest of the chop sheet in and pull up with front arm and front leg together

Scissor Action - Front Leg straight, back leg tucked up, throw sail up over your head and sheet out - DON’T LOOK DOWN!

Anticipation - Anticipate landing and extend legs, sheet out for a tail first landing

Shock Absorbers! Bend your knees to absorb the landing

Sheet in, hook in and sail away with a big cheesy grin!

Preparation - Back hand down, unhook, get low

Pull up on front arm and leg
Scissor action, sail above head
Keep lookng up!
