Which way to spin

[heymanitsdan]

im just starting freeskiing, how can i tell which way is better for me to spin, usually ive been going left but i cant get all that much spin out of it. any advice?

 

[PeterTosh]

learn both and be stoked

whichever way feels better for you. you probably cant spin very good just because you havent given it enough time and effort.

it's a lot easier to spin faster if you tuck your legs. the biggest thing that helped me when i was learning bigger spins was when i started grabbing.

 

[nickmcnutt]

its like hockey sticks and baseball bats, whatever you feel more comfortable with. if you really dont know, try left because that is the way most people spin

As long as you lead with your chin you should be all set either way.

learn 180 one way then the other....than 360 one way then the other....and keep progression liek that and ull be quite sick

which ever way feels most comfortable and you can spin easier.

if you're starting, I'd say start trying tricks both ways...pretty much everyone on this site wishes they could go back in time and re-learn freeski by doing everything both ways.

try both

its cool if dont develope a direction habit and you can do both ways easily

...but when i first started to find out the way i spin best i just stood on flat ground and jumped and spun as far as i could.

whenever i went right i would land with my tips crossed or one foot askew so i spin left generally.

good call thanks for the help everyone

 

[holyDINOSAURS]

i agree with everybody above in learning both ways. but a way to tell usually is get someone to go behind you and push you. whichever leg you put out first, you generally spin to that direction

turn your head it helps your spin
