does anyone have any tips on how to train to do this trick? it requires a lot of physical strength and i was wondering if someone could give me some tips. if you have never heard of this before, here is the low-down: 1. flip the board over into darkside. one foot on tail, one foot on nose (underside) 2. reach down (behind) your legs, and grab the trucks. 3. lock your arms, and extend your legs out in front of you. 4. draw your legs back in, crossing them as you turn your body upwards to do a handstand. 5. complete the handstand, come down into Hand-casper, and halfflip out.

There's really no way around it. You just gotta have some raw upper body strength as far as I know. It might help if you swing your legs under faster so you could get some momentum for the handstand.
And to try and elaborate a little more on what a leapfrog is, I'll try to explain:
This trick is usually done darkside (board upside down). Put a hand on each truck and lock your arms with your legs out in front of you. From a side view your body would be in an L shape, with your body being the vertical line and your legs being the horiziontal line. (in the old old days, this was a trick in itself, called an L sit). You bring your legs in towards your body and cross them Indian style (not touching the ground) and pass them backward between your arms. From this point you push your legs straight up and you end in a darkside handstand.
Got it?
As far as practice goes, try holding chicken handstands for certain periods of time (like 3 minutes at a time, 10 times in a row) and try some push ups in a chicken handstand position.

That is a chicken stand. The full name is a chickenfairy handstand, but I abridge it for the obvious.

wow, that looks insane. there is a video on Jari Paakkari's website which has been down for quite some time (baker-x.flapjawed.com) but if you go to freestyleskateboard.com and go to videoclips forum section partway down the page a top is called something like (2 new dcmh videos by jari and vesa). if you go to the website eegodinee (i forget how its spelled, just follow the link in the post) and download dcmh 5, then it shows jari (one in the red hat) doing some leapfrogs.

...then find the red sparrow and feed it corn, it'll drop a cd and you can play it on your computer, which will then give you a string of numbers, put those together and you're done...
