Toboggan

When you leave the jump, push down on your front end and hit the rear brakes (to bring the front end down). Turn the handlebars 90 degrees as you are pushing down the front end. Simultaneously, take your left hand off the bars and grab the seat. If you turned the bars to the left, then take off your right hand; conversely, if you turned the bars right, then take off your left hand. While you are doing all this, you also need to be leaning way back to the back of your bike. Your butt needs to be behind your seat and right there at your rear wheel. When fully extended, the bike will be in a near vertical position (in an endo - with the front wheel well below the rear), you will be at the very back of the bike with one hand grabbing the nose of the seat, the other hand will be on your bars - squeezing the rear brake lever in, and the bars will be turned 90 degrees in a "straight line" with the seat. Gosh, this one is hard to explain. When it's time to return to Earth, let go of the brakes, then the seat. Grab your bars, straighten them out and get your bike level for landing. For a challenge and for extra style points, throw in a no-footer during all of this.
