Edges and switch spins

[Dr.DRE]

I was wondering if detuning my edges would help a lot with spinning switch off jumps since I seem to catch my edges sometimes? Any other suggestions with spinning switch off jumps?

Pop.

 

[ECfreeski3]

youre probably trying to spin too early. lots of people do that. pop then spin. or just think about delaying your spin more

 

[fratskier69]

detuning your edges will do nothing to help

[Dr.DRE]

Yeah I have been trying to do that a lot, but when I pop then spin I cant spin more than 5, and it always looks like people spin off the jump in videos, in movies and in person so I was wondering if detuning my edges would help. Thanks +++K

I personally wouldn't detune, I think sharp edges are the best

 

[Stickity]

butter off the jump

im thinkin hes right^^ try carving off the jump more? i dunno just try a bunch of stuff and see if it works

Detune your edges a little under the bindings if your hitting a lot of rails on brand new super-sharp skis... but to solve your problem with switch spinning just pop super hard at first and then it will seem to come naturally with the spin after a few tries.

yea curving too early

+ switch jump

= going sideways and eating lots of snow

 

[skiP.E.I.]

keep your skis on edge when carving off the jump switch. If your skis are too flat the outside edge catches. Also pop, like they said.

 

[ECfreeski3]

that, yeah!

why do people insist on writing that? we all know its not going to end.
