this, and SDraper's advice is the directon i would go.
I learned spins up to 7 before anything else, and i wish i didn't. Which meant i was pencil spinning everything. IMO pencil spins look terrible. I'd rather see a really styly tweaked out straight air than a hucked pencil spin.
Go for style, smoothness, and a tucked up grab man, soon after you stomp that 5. In the meantime, ski all those groomers switch, and you will suprise yourself at how quickly you progress.
Soon after you'll be ready for some nice carved switch 3's.
