So whats the key here? I love seein them but dont really get the execution. Im super comfortable with my spins, just needs some pointers on what exactly to do.
 
I start my rotation as one unit, making sure my torso and legs are spinning at the same speed. Then once I get to the half way point of my rotation I keep my torso spinning and try to push my feet back the other way. Once I start to finish my spin I whip my skis back underneath me as quickly as possible.

Hope this helps.
 
well its all about breaking. by this i mean separating your upper and lower body in like a style twister sorta manner. start with some straight air and just work on getting what feels like a nice shifty the 180. Once your going past 180 dont forget that shifting will absourb then release rotation, this will mess with your timing abit.
 
good pop because you need to have air time to do the shifty in your spin when you have got that down set your spin lets say you are doing a seven shifty do the first 3 and turn your skis to the left so that your skia are ledaing your spin if you spin to that right do the opposite when you are at 3 you can see your landing turn your skis the opppsite way your are spining this will look dope do it hard so it looks sick once you have staled your spin from the shifty pull your legs back and finish your spin remember to keep looking with your head keep your hands out in front of you and your hips solid so your landing isn't backseat. And afterbang away hope that helped man
