More air :) The more you have the easyer it gets(or the harder you fall).

keep your head turned the way you spin til the landing comes around again. throw down your poles for stomping support if u need. to learn u just need to find a jump that you are comfy floating 3's. then just go a lil' bigger and set ur spin a lil' tighter. if you fall. get the fuck up and try it a few more times. if u can float a 3 u should be able to do a 7.

get comfy doing 3's and 5's...then just get a bit more air if needed and spin another 180. keep practicing. you'll get it.

this may not apply to everyone, but it helps for some people. if you tuck up when you spin a bigger spin like a 7, it will help you stay on axis. if you spin it all pencil style its easier to start spinning sideways and shit ya know. if you tuck up you'll stay on axis easier.

frzgene is right, tuckn does help a spin. Another tip, practice falling, why, u will fall before u stomp this, and u'll see how painless it is, and get more confidence(unless u have the habit to really fuckn huge)

peta first off, falling does hurt. but still, you'll do it, everyone does, so don't be a wuss about it. my trick to throwing a seven is if you're spinning left (reverse directions if spinning right), throw your right arm to the left. do the same with your left arm, but keep it extended. After you've spun 360 or someodd degrees, snap your left arm behind your neck (in the motion like your doing weightt curls, bringing your arm to your shoulder) This will increase the speed of your spin, and you'll be able to stomp that 7.

personally u havta practice fallin, because after a while u'll learn how to do it almost painlessly or all ure nerves are gonna get severed and u won't feel a thing(actually, i got some severd nerves in my right arm, because i tried a bio, and went way too off axis)

I don't know if you should practice falling, but there is definatly a right and a wrong way to fall.

just crank a little harder before you take off an keep your head turned. and you're going to fall. it took me almost half the ski season to learn a 7 an now im workin on adding the grab into it. but just keep trying and when u fall get right back up and try it again

i think 'learning to fall' just comes from experience. iv never seen someone falling on purpose to practice.

You know something that would really make me applaud? A guy gets stuck in quicksand, then sinks, then suddenly comes shooting out, riding on water skis. How do they do that?

i like tucking up my legs i think it helps seeing things better because you aren't spinning as fast but you need some more air to do this

i think i learned a 7 a week after i learned a 5. Just throw a few 5's, then throw yourself a little harder. Think 720, just know you will stomp it. When you do, your just like holy shit, i did it. good luck
