Sno Mountain Skier Posted January 18, 2006 Report Posted January 18, 2006 Dont use your arms to spin 3s. Just use yourlegs and hips and pop off the lip. And make sure to spot the landing. Quote

snorovr Posted January 18, 2006 Report Posted January 18, 2006 Try spinning a three with your arms straight down at your sides, toy soldier style. Make sure your body is as rigid as possible. Doesn't it look sweet!?! Now tell me you don't use your arms to spin a three, a five, a seven, etc... If he is twisting with his legs and hips, how will he spot his landing? Spinning makes so much more sense to many people if you do more along the lines of what nick said. Looking over your shoulder when you're airborne not only helps you set and control the spin, it helps you spot your landing, and when you're spinning more than a 3 helps you get the extra rotations around. Try both ways and see what works for you I guess, but I bet controlling the spin with your upper body will be smoother and look better... Quote
