Before you try them, play around with them on the ground. (with skis on and off) Practice spinning the 270 and imagine looking at the end of the rail. What you are trying to do is get the feeling for stopping your rotation before 3. Also make sure you can spin your 3s off of anything and have...

The method for throwing a corked spin isn't all that much different than throwing it regular. I learned corked 7s first but you don't have to do it that way. 1)Make sure your regular spins are dialed and that when you spin them, your are tucked. Corked spins have to be tucked or you won't get...

Don't try the back if you can't do it on your tramp.

It hurts a lot less, but can still mess you up. I would recommend landing on your skis instead.

True, it is easier to get the rotation on a back flip because you're working with the jump. However, if your timing is right, you'll get enough rotation easily. The blind rotation also makes it harder to know where you are. The most common mistake I've seen is opening early and landing on...

A back country kicker is the best to learn them on because chances are your rotation won't be perfect the first time (I came up a bit short and dug my tips in on my first attempt). Test the jump doing some big stalled out backs till you think you have the right speed and hang time. You'll have...

Backs A back flip is one of the easiest tricks to do (If you are naturally a flipper, some people spin better), but one of the scariest to learn. If you have them solid on the tramp, you can do them on the snow. Just be sure to pop and not chicken out. It also helps if the jump is more of a...

First off, Flat-spin, Rodeo, Underflip, Who cares? Just pick the one that seems most natural and try it out. Also, people have the names all mixed up and no matter what I call them, someone is going to say it's the wrong name. It could be debated all day long, but it's not worth my time...

Come into jump with legs about shoulder width apart. Throw the spin with your uppper body (arms, chest, head) as you pop off the lip. (Be sure and pop, don't suck it up. Also, don't take off early.) For a big spin, I'll use the inside edge of my right ski (when spinning left) to set my...

Throw spin like a normal 5, except drop leading shoulder a bit and look down behind you instead of at the horizon (The lower you look, the more corked you'll be). Be sure you're tucking your spin (or you'll land on your face), and grabbing it actually helps (Start with a safety or another easy...

Under arm for corked 3

First, keep your eyes on the horizon when you set you spin. Don't look down behind you, that makes you cork. Think about keeping your shoulders level. Also, if you can learn to tuck your spins instead of standing tall, that helps bring you back on axis and work toward corked spins. One more...

As you set your rotation, be sure and keep your eyes on the horizon instead of looking down. (If you look down, you'll cork) Think about keeping your shoulders level.

You're probably talking about Tommy or Nathan. They're from NZ and teach some park stuff up there.

Hey, Caleb here. Check out the new park vids of Sierra Summit. I've got some of them up on my profile but you can also check them out at Sierrasummit.com. The park is looking sick this year and after the dump today, they should be able to start really building. We're shooting weekly vids for...
