The stripper is a trick crossed between a Cordova and a Deadbody. Simply put it is a Cordova with one leg put through the bars and extended out straight. If you can do a Cordova, and do it well, a Stripper shouldn't be to much of a problem for you to get, but you still do need the knowledge of Barhops to help you do a Stripper.
1. When you approach the ramp, keep the bike in the centre of the ramp, keep your body forward a little more than usual, just to keep the bike level as much as you can. Keep your body up off the seat in a ready position to start the trick up on the bars.
2. As you see the ramp leave under your bike, you want to automatically go up for a cordova. Usually you will push your body forward straight away, hooking your feet under the bars and then arching your back... But that isn't how you will do it now. What you need to do now, is lift your body straight up with your arms, and pull your knees upto your chest. Decide on which foot you want to put through the bars, and then all you need to do, is put the one foot through as your pulling your body up high.
3. When your foot is through the bars, you can now lock the other foot under the handlebars, hold tight, and pull hard to arch your back. As you do this, you want to imagine you are directing your leg that is through the bars way up into the sky.
4. You need to start looking back and try find the horizon with your eyes, and try to arch your back as much as you can, this is a pretty good indicator your Stripper will be looking very fine! Make sure to keep your leg straight that is through the bars.
5. When you are coming in for landing, simply come back as you would normally do for a Cordova, by just dropping your feet back down for the pegs, but what you have to do now, is bring your leg that was through the bars, up to your chest again to make sure it comes through the bars and able to go back down to the pegs. I like to use my foot that's locked under the bars to push my body back no the bike a bit to give me the extra room for my other leg to come through the bars easier. Now you just need your feet to get to the pegs, looks straight, adjust the bike accordingly and land safely :)
Good Luck and Enjoy

Pic - You can see I'm only halfway through a Stripper, My leg is through the bars, my head is just leaning back ready to arch my back. My other leg is already locked under the bars and I have my knee pointing forward just as you would for a normal Cordova.
