Dear Andy Parry, Khai Krepela, Forster Meeks, and Cole Drexler,

How do you sniper tap? I have been trying to learn this trick for months and I still can't get it.

The sniper taps Khai was doing at COC were all-time. Such a sick movement.

not hard once you figure em out but be careful, if you tap the rail too hard you'll mess up your sidewall/edge

This. Sniper taps have a sort of backflippish concept, they're not too hard, you just have to try it and see.

Please explain, I see no correlation between a backflip and a sniper tap aside from the fact that both are performed on skis.

He didn't mean the form, he meant they're actually pretty easy- just gotta go for it.

No for real, instead of popping off the rail early and doing a hard shifty, pop off a little early and hick backflip. Perfect sniper tap every time

It's not that they're similar tricks, I'm saying that they share a sort of concept where they look harder than they really are.

a trick I've been waiting to see/attempt myself is a sniper tap to front swap on an a-frame or dfd
