handplant
Hand-supported board balance
A handplant is a skateboarding or snowboarding trick where the rider grabs the board with one hand while planting the other hand on the lip of a ramp or obstacle, briefly supporting body weight in an inverted position before rotating back onto the board.
Variations include the invert and the Miller flip: He stalled the handplant for three full seconds.
