I used to have that exact same problem until like halfway last year. I'd always catch my edge and not be ablt to spin over switch 5. But now i can do switch 9's off 20 foot tables (wasnt any bigger tables at the end of the year). Here's just a list of things you can do.

1. Stagger your stance, it will be pretty fuckin hard to spin if your stance isnt staggered

2. Start carving on the lip, this little carve will turn your switch 3's into switch 7's.

3. Commit, just hold onto your spin and i bet you will get it around (i can go off and throw it like a switch 3 now and make it a switch 7)

good luck.
 
if you're not comfortable carving hard off the lip, make sure your tip isn't going to catch and cause you to eat shit, hard. if you're not on a center mount, make sure to wait just a little bit longer to start your spin once you pop, makin sure you are off the lip.
 
enter the jump low and when the lip is between your bindings pop start the spin and bring up ur knees up

for rails line the rail up between your skis then pop and turn you feet should land right over the rail.
 
The key is patience. You've gotta wait until you're off the jump until you spin otherwise you eat shit.
 
this is actually really good form

his feet are wide which is perfect for getting the spin you want, his weight is also forward which is always goood

now i see why he spins so quick
 
Yes, not only cant you spin anything over a switch 5 but... its illegal in all 50 states including puerto rico and guam. So in conclusion, buy a G suit
 
haha, amen.
i rode with martini last weekend in colorado, he threw down... and now i see why... he had the G Suit pants on...
it's all so clear to me now
 
full commitment, visualize yourself stomping it, wide staggered stance, six pack abs flex, patience, solid pop, and as said above, a solid k.o. punch to fear.
 
when i do switch spins, i find i can't do it off that big of stuff because i get enough speed but i dont go far to clear it. i don't know. it's something i'll work on this yr
 
come in with cofidence, and make sure you at at the lip when you pop. if you dont have full cofinence in yourself or you will start spinning too early... and tip catchs are not good
 
make sure your stance is pretty wide so that you are more stable and then just wiat untill you are definitely off the lip. It is good to do some super late 1 s to show yourself how long you can wait ot set the spin.
