you should practice not buttering off the lip.
if you try that on a warm day you'll catch your edge on the lip and die

going towards the jump, put your feet kinda close together. keep your bases flat on the snow. approaching the jump, keep looking at the lip. spread your legs to around shoulder width apart (little less) and start getting on your inside edges as you carve off the jump. start the spin as soon as your heels clear off the lip.

^ that was super duper
Just imagine in your mind that you're leaning back on your tails. I tend to find myself doing the butter thing sometimes, and for some reason, imagining myself leaning a little more back on my tails solves it. I usually catch my tips when I spin switch, and this helps that a lot.

we should all be buttering like that, t-hall does it on chads, that means it has to be cool, and being cool is all that matters.

be like totally set up and ready to spin before you reach the lip, but wait till you know your in the air before spinning. think about popping and leaving the lip before you think about spinning.

just do zero spins over smallih jumps untill you are comfortable with it and then do the same thing and spin a 1870. It'll teach you not to butter off
hahahahahaha
and I suck at hitting tables switch. Cat tracks and natural features are no problem for me but tables are hard beause I have to take of switch going downhill, instead of traversing. This is because I live in alaska and 99% of our jumps take off in a traverse direction.
last time I tried to hit a table switch as at Northstar and I caught my inside left edge, turned sideways, went uspide-down and landed in the flats on my head and broke my collarbone. So now Im kinda scared of switch table hits. I switch cork 5'd in a practice run but I buttered it and a bunch of kids said I almost died cause it looked like my edges were gonna catch so I have no idea how to hit jumps switch i suck poopy.
