360 help???

[line1260psx]

i have a question, this is my first trying tricks on skis and when i try a 360 i clip my tails. I know i need to wait alittle longer but i think if i wait i will loose the nessasary momentum of the spin to get it around. Any help would be great.

dont b soo eager to spin, pop off the lip and use ur pop to set ur rotation turn ur head over ur shoulder and stomp it its not that tough but when u get nervous or sit and think aobut what could go wrong it can turn into one of the hardest things uve ever done

me: pepsi twist taste the exact same as normal pepsi.

my friend: no it doesnt , it has a twist.

THanks i could do them on my shorter skis but i will take your advice. Thanks

what do you mean clip your tails? on what? the jump? maybe you're jumping to early? try using your feet, not your arms to spin. like you would on a tramp. use your upper body and spin around your feet. just keep looking. it's all in the eyes....

be aware, ski with care

u just said to use ur feet to spin not ur upper body but then u said on a tramp u used ur body to spin ur feet, i confused

me: pepsi twist taste the exact same as normal pepsi.

my friend: no it doesnt , it has a twist.

ya i will definetly try this. Ya i was clipping my tails on the lip of the jump and it absolutly tossed me.

 

[Brit1275]

yeah, just jumping early. i mean spin your upper body around your feet. but for me, it feels like i kind push the spin with my feet almost....i don't know. try don't it with your arms PINNED to your chest. that way you won't get all attached to using your arms.

try to get a more speed. and if u dont wanna do that jus pop harder.

for me I stopped using my arms to huck myself I just keep my feet tight and on the way up the jump start your spin about halfway up the ramp and when you reach THE VERY END of the LIP....POP and look in the direction your spinning by putting your head over your shoulder it's so much smoother and easier than hucking yourself. The only way I crash threes is if I try to start my spin to early. just pop like you would if you were doing a 360 in your sneakers on flat ground

when you start to spin try to jump along with it

pop super hard and iniciate your spin a bit later then you wont have this problem

 

[M+M]

dont wind up at the jump, bend ur knees and pop urself of the jump, then spin ur head to a full 360 and ur body will follow

snowboarding sucks

 

[What_A_Wookie]

yeah, not much else to say - just go faster pop harder and spin level with your head leading and you shoulders
