When i spin i open my skis like pizza and spin.And i see a lot of dudes carving in the jumps when doing smaller rotation and it just looks so much nicer.So i tried it and it came around pretty easy with 180's but when i think im doing it wrong because it feels much harder than a normal 180 just spreading my legs.And sometimes when i carve in im not centered i just fly like to the right a lot if i spin dat direction.I watched a lot of edits and kind of got how to do.

I havent tried bigger spins like 5 and 7 but im still tryin to get used to it.Please someone help me to do it right !

 
Just carve as you would normally, the only difference is that you are carving uphill into a jump. Once you reach the lip pop and spin as you normally would.
 
I need help with this too.

Recently learned 3's and 5's and feel pretty comfortable coming off of the jump straight. When I started trying to carve off of the jump I didn't really land back seat but more tilted to the left (I spin right). When I watch people they all come off the jump leaning into the carve and then somehow magically come back vertical.
 
You're dropping you shoulder. When you spin, don't look down on the snow, but look around over you shoulder, that will keep you on axis.
 
I tried carving my threes this year, my first one was definitely my best. I haven't gotten ahold of it. I've done a super corked 5, but ate shit because I was simply trying a 3. They are easy for alot of people, just keep trying.
 
you should carve in such a way that you end up looking straight off the jump, then punch FORWARDS when you spin otherwise you'll cork really easily... Then you'll be able to bring a lot of speed into jumps and it will be so fun.
 
other than 180s and switch hits i cant really carve my spins with out corking. i think its a lot easier to just spin a 3 or 5 regularly. Maybe if you can carve with out corking that would be easier for some people though.
 
i feel way more comfortable carving all my spins, ive forgotten how to not carve and spin haha
 
i thought the whole purpose to carving off the lip was to cork the rotation but some of you are saying it like it's a bad thing?
