Learning The Trick
General Overview
A variation of the Spread Eagle, the skis are spread out to the side of the body but the poles make a "V" in the middle of your body.
Preparation
Knowing what a Spread Eagle is and how to do it will help.
Doing It
Just like most all aerial moves you start out by Assume the position and approach the jump with plenty of speed. Pop off the lip and take flight.
Be patient with the Soaring Eagle, initiating it right off the lip can throw you off balance. Wait until you approach the apex of your air. Then, spread your legs out to the side and away from your body. The variation from the Spread happens here. Bring the grips of your polls between your legs and touch your knuckles together so your polls make a "V" shape that points outwards.
Finishing
Hold this position as long as you can, then release and bring your legs back in and move your hands and poles back to your sides and land.
