i can shifty.

i can spin 540° easily

but i never tried a shifty 540°. therefore i would like to hear an instruction.
 
welll it depends. there are differnet kinda of 540 shifties. u can shifty early, or late. and cork and non, and other variables. basically. u cant give directions. just go and try
 
yea...I just rotate a five, push my shifty into it until i get to 3, then stop my legs and rotate as far into my five as I can, and then whip ur feet under u. See corey vanular 5 blunt-shifty five in lss...berman shot it from the crane so you can really see it.
 
ive always thought that if you throw your body one way then threw youre skis the other way the skis would snap back into the rotation of your body looking a bit like a shifty. but the shifty would be early in the spin this way.
 
watch niklas karlstrom in x over and over and watch what he does, then add another 180. his 360 shifty is probably one of the coolest tricks i have ever seen, so ill.
 
stop the rotation of your skis, tweak whatever grab you have against teh rotatation, keep upper body rotating, release tweak, and brings skis back to rotation.

you've shiftied.
 
wow, i remember when the things were called rewinds, not shifties. i must be getting old.

but then again, straight air shifties used to be called twisters, so huh...
 
In my opinion, if you shiftie both ways in the air, thats a twister, not if you just do it one way. Shifties are mad fun though, i cant do them in spins yet, but want to.
 
ok... do a three then after the three pull your skis in the opposite direction of your spin then whip em back around for the five

 
learn shifty ones

do a 360 a little faster than normal and then do a shifty one out so basically do a five but stall it at 360 to help stall it out you can put your opposite hand across you body
 
you could shifty at 180 like you are doing a shifty 3, but keep going. thats how ive done them (only on tramps and shit) or you could just throw a shifty in whenver you feel like it haha
