Ahh, from the spelling, I thought ya must have been drinkin “flying squirrels”!!!!!
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!
having never played ssx i am a complete noob when it comes to knowing what this trick is, i heard method graba and assumed board com out in front of you but now i see. its a method type move but the board behind you? with both hands on heel edge yeh?
ok i see myself landing jumps on my face/stomach attempting this! haha
Any attempts on the opening weekend?
I was definately billied enough to try it, but nothing to jump off

Jump of me if you want!
^^^ hahahahahaha
can’t do one this year not allowed to go
So this will probably require a decent jump and some practice…. Tried to get something yesterday but couldn’t get high enough off anything lol.
even though it wont count im going to attempt on the air bag a flying backflip squirrel…maybe even throw in aspin of some sort
Deano, if you get decent footage of that (and you have to get the double grab), there will be a prize in it for you.
deal. tell you what, i will attempt it at the shred as well
I’m looking foward to seeing some entries for this competition. Mr bruce I’m particularly looking forward to yours’, it’s good to see the more generous gentleman snowboarding.
im not looking forward to the pain im going to feel after i attempt it on snow but…pain is only temporary
