Slopply 360 help

[pink_squid]

My 360 is hella sloppy. poles flialin through the air, horrible rotation ect. Any tips for maximum steeze?

 

[gr4]

bigger jump, more pop, and throw in a grab

 

[tall_t]

do em on smallet jumps. possibly on a rail jump.keep arms tucked in for max spin an steeze. then AFTERBANG

[J.J.M]

Ive been practicing im my back yard(tramp/drop in) and video taping myself. I think ive sloved most of my probs accept one. How do u "stomp" a trick?

spot the landing, hold your grab or just maintain your composure in general, set your feet down onto the landing

basically just you gotta become more comfortable in the air and spinning. it comes with time.. spotting the landing is key though

a stop is a perfect landing, no wild head bob no waves of snow i guess and the satisfying sound of you skis bases hitting the snow

haha okayy. I kinda suck at spotting my landing and also at jumps in genral. im way more confindent on rails and boxes.

lean forward and keep yo' stance aggressive. make sure you can feel pressure on the tongues of your boots. lead the spin with your head, look in the direction youre spinning, and not down. grabs help too. just concentrate really hard on keeping your arms at your side. i struggled with threes for an incredibly long time, but keeping pressure on the tongues of my boots fixed all my problems, and when i took it to bigger jumps, they were even smoother and easier.

Any specific tips on spotting your landing? I land my 3's but when I spin, everything is a blur and I don't really see much.

How big are the jumps you're doing it on?

If they're pretty small, try a bigger jump. It sounds scary, but it makes your life easier in the end. On small jumps, I don't see much at all, but on bigger jumps, I start seeing things at about 180 all the way around to 360.

On small jumps I'm just kind of "feeling" the rotation. On bigger jumps I see it.

PRACTICE with the comitment

 

[PJS.]

slow it down. its not a double, you dont need to huck your meat. air awareness starts with being calm, calmness starts with slowing it down

 

[s-hand]

What is the easiest grab to do a three with? Mute? Safety?

 

[PJS.]

whatever floats your boat, but i find safety and tail are easiest because both allow you to throw the spin and simultaneously bring the grab up to you in a fluid motion...did that make sense?

i also feel like on any jumps under 7 feet im just kinda guessing where to rotate. If i go to big a eat shit though. And i waz throwing in sume tail grabs today and they really help to make u more stable.

 

[pink_squid]

is it better to not use poles when practing 3s ? i see alot of people not using them.

 

[infuser]

watch the traveling circus episode style coach... i think its season one episode 4 maybe i could be wrong

teaches you the ways of the afterbang "stomping" and just look with ur head the whole way and dont stop cuz when you stop with ur head you stop rotating

 

[philipc]

set your rotation slower, your opening up cuz your spinning too fast
