K fed help?

[D_Dress]

So I've been trying to learn k Feds this season, I've got the front swap down and can lock in on the swap 90% of the time but every time I lock in I like choke on the rail and can never pull the back 2 out, sometimes I land switch sometimes I land forward, I've probably landed 10 real k Feds but I can't seem to do it consistently. I'm not sure whether it's because I spin left and slide right foot forward so when I swap and back 2 out it's my unnatural way of spinning. I literally skied my backyard set up for 3 hours straight and I still haven't gotten them on lock. anyone have any suggestions or been in a similar situation? Thanks

Just keep practicing then it won't be unnatural when you spin. Also once you swap just pop and turn

After you swap and continue your rotation and keep looking over your shoulder. Once you get kfeds they are super easy.

when you finish the front swap, spot the top of the rail instead of the bottom. Keeps your head/shoulders in the right spot for the spin out.

also, do it later on whatever rail you're trying it on so you don't need to stop your swap rotation near as much.

make sure you get a good pop off your toes, bring your heels up and over, land with your shoulders parallel with the rail, dip your toe on your leading ski to set the spin, begin too look up hill, start bringing your shoulders around, pop (bring your toes up!) spin wile spotting your landing, bring your feet around and land forward, ride away like a real G.

Hmm try to pedal and blend your swap with your 2 if that makes sense.

I always just focused on setting the swap harder. Kinda think about doing a front two off of a low rail so you get that hard set and then just keep looking. like people above have said, keep at it and they start to make a lot more sense
