spinning

[mollyskeez]

so i can spin 3s on little jumps like 10-15 foot. but when ever i try and spin them on anything bigger i end up throwing them corked and then i land almost on my back. im throwing them the same way i do on the smaller jumps. i have gone for a corked 5 since i was told it was easier than a corked 3 and i got alot closer to that than i did with my 3s. so what im trying to ask is how can i not throw my spins corked on steeper lips and bigger jumps.

sometimes on big jumps i spin my head faster than my body because im afraid of not making the rotation without realizing it, so that might be ure problem too. And also, you might be starting to rotate a bit before the jump and that makes u go cork

i am a snowboarder so it might be different but it seems that it has alot to do with how you set up on the lip you may be leaning back to much or forward to much

lean forward more and dont drop one of your shoulders

Or you just don't know how to spin slow.

i gt now it seems that i only do it on smaller jumps. i could get the spin down fine i just couldnt land it. i am way more comfortable spinning 3s on bigger jumps now than i was on smaller jumps. thanx everyone.

All the advice you should need is this - turn your head. Wherever your head is looking, your body will follow, which is why spotting your landing is so important.
