Having trouble throwing 3s

[snakerton]

I know 3s are an easy trick but idk why but I have trouble fully rotating. I've done it a few times but not with very much swag. Got any tips? Thanks. And please dont hate too much

make sure you dont spot your landing at 180 degrees

yeah dont look down at all, and make sure you get a good pop and hold the rotation

 

[POWDER.RANGER]

bend the knees, widen your stance, pop, look for the lip, then spot the landing

Steez is not an important factor when learning. when you pop off the lip, have your stance wide and pop you feet together, throw your arms around too if necessary. once your can throw an ugly 3 consistently, then you can start cleaning it up to look like your the baddest of all the asses.

pretty much everything is said, i struggled with 3s a long time (i could land 9s before 3s) and always landed backseat, it comes from popping off not straight up, and from spotting the landing too early, which means u look down, this drags u into backseat. so focus on a good take off, try to rotate ur shoulders with ur head and not only the head towards the side! try to spot url landingpoint (looking down) pretty late.

what i think is the the problem that u dont come around: YOUR ARMS! i experienced this with a lot of kids. u actually jump off correct, but instead of having ur arms in the direction of the spin all the time, u start to move them against the spin in the middle of the 360, and this stops ur 360 and its hard to get around! so try to film urself and focus on ur arms...so u see what u do wrong! a grab will help, but prolly too hard in the beginning.i hope i could help u, and sry my english is not the best!

don't try to huck it, as in, don't wind up like a crazy amaount and try and throw yourself off the jump, because that will only put you off axis. Just come in to the ump and begin bending your knees a little bit before the tranny and have a slight windup with your shoulders, pop off the jump, lead with your head and you'll be good. keep looking around until you see your landing.

Thanks +k to you all

If your trying to clean in up a bit just grab the bottom of your skis with both hands. That will keep your legs from flailing around. Learn how to do it however you can though before trying that.

hehe, i used to have issues with this aswell..

Turns out the way i moved my arms was not straight, so i got out of axis, its hard to explain how i solved it. I just punched perfectly to the right (i spin that way)

do you understand lol?
