when you go off a jump switch are your feet supposed to be right beside each other or does it matter...cause whenever i try it i always end up getting inverted and i think it might be my feet...any advice?

Make sure you are using twin tips.

Make sure that you don't hang on the front of your boots like you normally do. This will make you flipover as you get airborne. Make sure that you have the weigt in the center. Start by just skiing switch.

that should work fine. i just try to keep my weight centered and im fine. also, dont flip out in the air, just keep a solid stance and you should be fine.

you'll get the hang of it... just do what feels natural... usually when im spinnin off switch i like to carve on the jump cause it gives you the extra spin

It's all mental. Just go off knowing that you can do it, stay relaxed like you were taking off normal, and just give 'er. Skiing switch a lot will help you feel how you weight should be, then as long as you're looking over your shoulder and pop you'll be good.

epecially spinning, carving off the jump looks so sick. When I carve my feet are pretty much pinned w/ a huge lead change, it works for me

all you gotta do is turn your body first then your skis so you dont catch your edge and get all crazy. also staggering your feet works for some people and otheres like them together for going off the jump. i ski with them super dooper staggered
