Hi, I've seen it in few movies(EDIAS, Outdoor Graduation). I tried it but it's pretty hard. Anyone can do it and have some advise?

add one hundred and eighty degrees of a twisting rotation to a three hundred and sixty degree mcflippybird.

I actually learned these the day after I learned handdrag 3s. You really just need to set the spin harder and be prepared to feel more "off axis". I recommend trying them off a hip jump if you have one that you can access, or even a small jump, as opposed to a knoll or roller.

first learn hand drag 180.

Hand drag 3 is just like 180, but thrown into a corked spin more, shifty it out a little and drag that hand on the snow to pull you around.

540 is the same as three, throw a little harder, lay that hand out, and pull it towards to across the snow to pull yourself into a harder spin.

None of that 2 handed BS. looks like you are trying to grab onto the ground as you are falling out of control. (that's my opinion though).

is the mcflippybird similar to the double 1280 McTwist Shaun White invented?

to me their pretty easy, i first learned handdrag threes then ended up reverting 180 whenever i landed so i just through that into the rotation. just go relatively fast, kind of crouch down hop onto your hands continuing the rotation and yeah, just remember to spot your landing and you're set
