this has pissed me off all season. i wan't to land a 5 and a smooth 3. i can do 360s but it has to be a big jump and it pissing me off im hucking hard to what do think im doing wrong? i can land a 540 on the flat ground no sweat but when i strap on skis i cant even do it off a jump and my 3's aren't that smooth and i cant get a grab in so does anyone have any tips on spinning better? i want to land a 5 by the end of the season.

 
Well if I read correctly you sid you could only spin 3s off bigger jumps. Well thats fine, hucking isnt cool. To spin smooth threes you will NEED a biggish jump like 25 feet+. What you do is instead fo winding up at all you just approach the jump and as you pop you just look over your shoulder a bit, your arms dont do anything at all and then your head will easily be enough to set your spin, then you just keep looking and if you dont have to move your body at all to set except your head, then you can keep it really smooth and add grabs no problem. The trick to adding grabs is to not be doing a pnecil 3 and then try and touch your skis for an instant, Everything has to be more in control. You have to ste hte spin and then since you are in a nice comfortable position cause you only set with your head you just reach down and tuck up and you should get the grab in smoothly. Dont do any hand movements or leg movements, they are unnesacry, just keep it in control and everything should be smooth. The onyl thing you need to spin and keep spinning is hour head looking for your landing.

As for 5s, find a Jump your comofrtable doing somoth 3s over that you dont need to huck at all. Then throw your spin harder (afterwards you wont feel like your hucking or throwing very hard, but the first few times you should try and throw hard with your arms and all, but still in control) and the main thing to remember is that you need to NOT spot at 360, you have to keep looking over your shoulder till you are around switch again, thats the main thing, DONT SPOT AT THREE, keep looking. Afterwards you will easily learn to put safetys in and throw a smooth 5 just like a smooth 3. Hope I helped.

i gotta question kinda ilke this.

i am not very good its basically my first year on twins (five times or so last year) and i have been trying threes and such constantly.

recently i hvae been landing back seat a lot. just wondering if anybody has some tips to help me try to stick the landings more smoothly.

 
to big_jibbin: you are a dumbass i bash newbies to this site not newbies to skiing and its all a joke you cocksucking newb a year ago any newb who made a thread would be bashed just for being new to the site because its fun.

 
^^ya i hate landing backseat it happens some times for me to but not as often. try leaning a tiny bit forward before going off the jump but dont lean to forward or your fucked it took me awhile to get. now i want to add tuck and grab to my 3

 
^^^ same thing happens to me, maybe try for a more foward grab, like mute? i duuno, im gonna try that out tomorrow

O yes, you can ski backcountry is syracuse ny

'me and my girlfriend were going at it the other night and she was on top and we were bonin hard, and my dick slipped out between thrusts and went up her ass. she screamed and cried for 45 minutes, it sucked.' -skiflake

 
ya seriously def use a big jump, and to not land backsaeat stay compact and stable in air, and the more you huck the more backseat you will be so spin slow and smooth. and pick a grab that makes you lean forward it reeeally helps

dont huck and youll be fine and wontr land backseat

the skis look like joints cuz they smoke the competition -crystalneedsapark

well, halfway through the season it just really clicked for me. i cant really put it into words, just really spin hard i guess

...For I have dined on honey dew and drunk the milk of paradise. --------------------I like to jam

 
haha yeah all i had today was like a 10-15ft kicker. im going again this weekend so ill try it on a bigger table

 
540's r so much fun

180s are better cause teh spinningn is so slow expecially on big jumps. 7s in the pipe are sick too

just think 360 with more air and keep your body turning.
