pop, drop your shoulder and swing your opposite arm upward. The motion (at least when you're learning them) is a lot like a forward facing cartwheel. There's a lot of other info hiddin within the reaches of the searchbar.

do it on a tramp first, then bring it to a pow landing, then you will be ready for the park.

when i have tried lincolns on jumps with big kicks, i usually end up poppin backwards.  this makes a flatspin (which is cool) but is not a lincoln.  Be sure to look forward the whole time.  As one guy i know says, "practice cartwheels, viualize stomping it"

For ur first try, try it on a jump with a low kick, but a big jump (if u know what i mean).  its really an east trick, just takes balls.

Focus on a point directly ahead of you and let the world spin around it like a clock. It is best to make sure you get a good pop off the lip to take the trick up and use your hips to set the rotation. Its alot easier to get it down on a tramp or the boards first and then bringing it to the snow.

A Linkin Loop is like a Lincoln Loop, but it can only be done in a Linkin Park.
