How to make my flat 3's more flat

[connorfitz]

I just want to be able to make them more flat before i take them to the snow so i will have better muscle memory with them.

The correct parlance is "little person"

Looks pretty flat to me, but try looking over your left shoulder as soon as you take off... seems you're doing that a little late in the rotation, but that's really all I can see.

all i saw was some kid grabbing his sock and doing a backflip on a trampoline. the first step is gonna be getting to a ski area with a jump and then hitting the jump. once you get that down you can start thinking about doing tricks.

 

[connorfitz]

alright thanks i'll try that k+

You're starting rotation too late and to make a nice and flat flat 5 your whole upper body must trigger the trick, not only the head + arms.

What trick is that really? It looks like he barely if at all faces the opposite (180') way?

I'm on a lot of cocaine right now so I need to go to sleep so I can shred in 5 hours.

well, when i ski, some times when i pop flatspin, i don't have enough rotation to bring it to 540, so i just land forwards, making it a really flat 3. i suppose you can try it on purpose as well! yo land a little sketchy, but it's probably possible make it steezy anyways!

stop grabbing japan

i actually think it's easier to make it flat grabbing

safety or mute

 

[Broseph_Stalin]

the thing that i think really makes flatspins look more flat is the fact that the lander is on a different angle as the take-off. this also might be the reason why like every time i see a trampoline rodeo or flatspin it looks more flippy. idk.. just my observation

flatspin 101 taught to me by Brian Bishop (yes, Josh BIshop's brother):

Step 1: on lip, dont lean into trick

Step 2:bring you shoulders diagonally back and thrust your hips opposite to your body.

Step 3: right after you gget the pop, look behind you and swing your far leg (i do a flatspin to the left, so I use my right leg as my far leg) in a horizontal semi-kick over across your body.

Step 4: grab japan to keep yourself in the acquired postion

Step 5: Don't float it too much because you will land sideways

Step 6: when you spot your landing, if you need to, let your grab go and swing your legs around to land

Caution: do not try this on a small jump. From experience, I can only do them off of about a 40, no smaller or I cant get the rotation since the "correct" way to perform a flatspin makes you soooo floaty.
