Can't get any rotation off my summer jib setup HELP

For the life of me I literally can not even get a 180 off my summer jib set up. It's starting to piss me off because I really wanna learn 270's on. I can 360 and 540 on regular snow on almost any jump, even on smaller lips. It just feels like I can't wind up at all before taking off because the turf is so slippery. I've tried not wetting or soaping the takeoff of the jump and that didn't work. Any ideas?
 
Sorry probably should've phrased that better. I meant a 180 off the setup as in just doing a 180 off the actually jump
 
Do you have any other materials on your takeoff besides turf? Construction fencing, lattice, etc. should be on the drop with only turf on takeoff. It would help if you could post a picture of your drop too
 
im assuming you're using green indoor-outdoor turf shit, try throwing a piece of carpet under the turf so it has a little bit of give to it, that will allow your edges to dig easier without slipping. and spin more with your body less with your edges.
 
Yeah I'm using lattice for the drop in the turf for the transition and takeoff. probably gonna put orange construction fence on the transition later to help get more speed
 
Same problem here. It's just cause u can't really dig your edges in to setup for the spin, just keep practising ull get it and turph is probably not the best thing to be learning 270s on.
 
Use your arms and head more to initiate your spin so you won't have to dig your edges as hard to get the rotation.
 
buy mSnow if you can afford it. It's too bad their sale's done.

I re-surfaced mine with it this year and the improvement I've seen over the turf/lattice fencing I used last year is astronomical. In terms of both speed and edge control.
