I CAN'T STOMP A 3!!!!!!!!!

[yannicktysl]

i just got back from tahoe fucking sore as hell. several times i almost got all the way around for my 3, but i just couldn't get into a good landing pos. i wasn't just trying it off a tiny bump or anything. this was a reall jump. i think my problem was i wasn't taking off spinning. any pointers or tips?

 

[Wis_Skier_23]

how big of a jump was it and what grab were you throwing

 

[bikerocker]

it's not that you need to take off spinning, just keep looking over your shoulder

 

[yannicktysl]

no grab i was just tucking. and i guess i wan't looking over my shoulder. thanks

 

[evtic]

go faster

 

[inthewoods]

i would say look under your shoulder...

 

[Holte]

you probably weren't popping. pop. it changes everything.

 

[Dustin.]

practice on the floor or a trampoline. once you can rotate from your core without hucking it, you will be able to get around easy. you might even do a 5 by accident while your still learning

 

[hoodratz47]

wow... everyone is being soo helpfull.. yeah for sure keep looking.... and dont think bout 180s cuase youl fuck your shit up fast

 

[BillyGoteMan]

Do you land backseat? That's what I was doing landing super backseat, the pop helped me out like some other gentleman said.

 

[LPT_311]

yeahp pop pop pop, and look over that shoulder...stay tucked up and youll be fine. I find Grabbing also helps alot.

 

[parkchilla]

ummmmm...... spin, look over shoulder and land...... trampoline practice for sure.

 

[yannicktysl]

what is landing backjseat?

 

[Skipig25]

when you don't pop off the lip, the jump throws you backwards a little, and you land on the tails of your skis, and slide out, and get shinbang

 

[yannicktysl]

oh shit, i was doing that. and the jump i was tyin had no lip. alright. thans you guys. next week for sure!

 

[Luckyscs]

whats hucking it. Is that throwing to hard or landing off balance or backseat?

 

[hartig]

1) Look over your shoulder, I always used to just look next to me, usually under my arm and it threw me off.

2) Carve off of the jump if you need to. I was going a bit corked a few weekends ago with carved 3's, and I didn't even have to rotate my body, it kinda just went.

 

[TheQuailman]

yo bigger jump definitly, i can't get em clean on a 7 ftish jump but i can on a fifteen foot one

 

[ECGove]

and fuck the shit out of your shoulder

 

[Skipig25]

nah, that's when you're trying to throw 5's off a rutted jump, and you catch your tip on the snow.

 

[kenevil]

I find its easier to do 3s with a critical or some easy grab like that

 

[XxLibertYxX]

just quit skiing then.
