Saturday, 22nd October at 12:00 pm by BubbleThe 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!
