Throwback Thursday - The Handplant
There are a few tricks that no matter how many times you see or do them,

they never get old. While the method is probably the most obvious, a handplant is not far behind. There are millions of different ways to do them, and over the years countless riders have put their own spin on this classic.

From Mike Jacoby practicing one on his van in 1989…

To Joe Curtes doing one in front of his brother (Jeff Curtes) in 2000…

To the insane style that Trevor Andrew does them with (practically on flat ground)- there is really no right or wrong way or place to do a handplant. It is for sure a trick every rider should strive to learn.
Check out the photos and video (it’s from Terje’s 1997 movie “Subjekt Haakonsen”) above,, then start visualizing how you are going to handplant everything next season.
