Spinning switch problem...

[matthasaurusrex]

So for some reason everytime i go for just a switch 5, my inside (i spin left) edge of my ski always catches the lip... Any suggestings on clean takeoffs while spinning switch? seems to be my problem. Any help would be great.

carve a little bit and dont spin so early

 

[chrismoJBEATS]

carve and also detune ur edges

 

[Tinga]

carve more and dont spin right away coming off the lip

 

[Holte]

try carving and don't spin until you leave the lip.

i'm sorry, it just had to be repeated.

 

[j.eriksen]

i have sort of the same problem, but i dont get a good look over my shoulder, i donthave any problem riding switch normally...

pop more

 

[triebby]

pop alot, when you spin switch you tend to naturally not pop, so try and over emphasize it

wow i never really thought of that i have the problem he has except for on switch cork 5s hmm thanks man

 

[*DrewT*]

wait until the very end of the jump to set the spin. If you watched it on vid you'd probably be surprised how early you set

 

[niels.]

learning small switch spins (i cant do big ones) i was taught to think like you are doing a zero spin until you leave the lip and then spin. it helped me a ton

 

[spinverted]

spin later

Seriously thats the biggest problem and almost everyone i see does it (including me sometimes). Wait until your boots are at the lip then pop.

 

[lineskier106]

carve is my suggestion

 

[Greenish]

wind up, but don't move your skis really until you pop

 

[mammothloc]

yah spin off your tips instead of popping off tail.

 

[chapz]

like everyone said, pop a lot, spin later on, not while still on the lip, and detune your edges

 

[johnnypsunami]

yeah i have the exact same problem. I just did zero spins for like a whole day, and it kind of helped me. Think of doing a zero spin and once in the air try for the spin. so yeah like everyone said, plus practise and you'll get it.

i cant carve in or pop too late, cause im slow as poo when spining switch.. i have to strain my back to come around on switch 5's, so i gotta learn too

I sometimes catch my edges cuz i spin to soon and it isn't pretty

 

[Alkyy]

do you guys all carve into things, i learned everything going straight at it i cant carve into a spin switch or regular

 

[FUUUCK]

i dont recomend carving, it can make you spin all wonky, your problem is that your starting to spin too early and your catching your tips, think about popping as late as possible and then worry about the spin

 

[EClay46]

dont detune edges just pop before u spin

 

[Dan-Man]

u should learn, its a sweet feeling and it sends u a little corked no matter what

 

[Alkyy]

i wanna learn, i can throw corks going straight but my friend told me its a lot easyer to carve in to it so i'll try that
