A handstand in the quarter.
How do it
Handplant is a handstand in the quarter. This trick looks great on vertical quarter walls, when the stand is performed right onto the coping.
1.
Find a vert wall in the park. A quarter in a vert ramp should do just fine.
2.
Ride up and onto the vertical section, and even before you reach your peak, begin extending your shoulder towards the wall.
3.
The impact is quite unique, it's as if your toppling over you bike when doing a spin, and the only way not to fall over is to put down your arm. Your bike stays in the air.
4.
Stay safe! It's sometimes better to go down into the quarter on your side than land in the bottom of the quarter with your hand off the handlebars.
