Steep landing on step 30' step down

[Chron7sc]

the new park at my close resort has a really steep landing and whenever i try a 3 my spins fine but i can never come down smooth on the landing. seems like im at 20 degree slope but the landing is like 40. what can i do to land level. thanks

maybe try a little off axis, so you come around with your skis not so horizontal

 

[AhrenStein]

stop being backseat

 

[poofartpee]

i find less pop off the lip helps on steeper landings for some reason

 

[R.Fahey]

tell the park guys to fix the landing if it's too steep.

thats what my kicker is like (i ski dryslope) although not as big. what you need to do when you take off is really have your pressure forward in your boots, i.e pop with good ankle flex. spot your landing early,maybe look a bit lower down in your peripheral vision than your used to.

do a cork

 

[wdbo.]

being more forward is something you should think about in or out of the park

 

[Pigletpen]

do a 5 instead, or a 1 i guess.

or just hands in front, center your body.

 

[cmo]

do a 5 when he cant even do a 3?

this is common, don't sweat it. the more trannys you learn on the better you'll be. as you spin past 90, focus on pushing both arms directly to the front, this is a great way to learn cork 3's but it also corrects backseat landing rotations by giving you something to focus on other than the spin. the more you break down any trick like a checklist, the easier it gets to correct. in no time you'll be looping 3's out oregon style. let us know how they turn out.

hands are the key make sure that they're in front of you

 

[Pigletpen]

jeez i said 'or a 1'

plus why not go for it... if youre already eating shit, might as well eat big animal turds.

seven springs?

 

[asfffffffffdd]

ya dude, but the more pop you havethe cooler it makes the trick look, so its kinda a tradeoff

 

[footcrunk]

yeah dude, landing switch is so much easier

 

[Elijah.]

Don't be tards guys... All you gotta do dude is this, when your taking off and about to go into the spin, throw your spin so your body is a little more forward, almost like going into a bio, except not nearly as much, and when your spotting, just lean forward a little more... It should also help if your getting shinbang from landing too backseat.

5s are soooooo much easier to land than 3s!

 

[nedward]

where do u ski????

 

[skithesprings]

the springs 30 footer does have a steep landing but its a step down and has a mellow lip so its not much of a problem..

 

[fcskier27]

i kept having the same problem, i found that when you take off try to look around your shoulder and not over it. if you look over it, you tilt back too much and you end up landing back seat

 

[winterkid33]

if u try to land switch itll be the same problem but the other way around. he wont be backseat instead hell land with his face in the snow

 

[ihatemyscratches]

oh man that is great advice, i think that might be exactly my problem with big threes on steep uneven landings

 

[skithesprings]

um no they arent especially on steep landings he will just end up on his face

 

[Peach.]

me to i land switch better than forward!

 

[EC_Chronic]

5s are not easier than threes i suck balls at landing switch and it pisses me off but yeah just lean forward when your popping off the jump

 

[nedward]

o ya the 7 springs landing was steep but nice...

[FigmentFilmski]

its easier...

 

[Chron7sc]

well to all you. thanks, i stomped it tons of times and was close to a 5. i had some trouble going past 3 into 5 though. and yes it was at springs. cool jump. thanks
