The Lazy Boy is one of the more technical tricks around when done correctly. When I say technical, that word can really be broken down from the start of your approach, all the way till your landing. Because of the tight arena's that I compete in, I typically get most of my speed on the ramp. This method makes a Lazy Boy a little difficult with such a short run, so I must really concentrate on corner speed. Since looping out and lazy boys really don't work well together, the main objective before hitting the ramp is to make your front end stays lower than the back. As you lift off, start off by sliding the jewels up to the gas cap and bring your legs up to the radiator shrouds. At first, you may want to experiment by trying coffins. After you are comfortable with the slide to the front , as well as keeping the front end down, you are on your way to bringing those hands off of the bars. My advise is to be patient, and feel out the trick. Before ya know it, you will be looking like a corpse on the bike.
