yeah flexible is key, just work on it though they're sweet. I'm trying to get 180 rocket airs down but I keep getting worked.

for spinning normal (not switch) sortas like "kick" your legs out. i don't know how to explain. but you sorta like kick em out, not fast like kicking, but the same movement. and then let your arms and upper body meet them. this is how i do on 1's. i wanna try it with a zero spin. would be sick.

one last thing, make sure the jump is big enough cause your tips will be pointing downward. and try on a jump with some kick in it

i think a gorilla steeze rocket would look cool. Youd have to ridiculously long arms or really short skis to do i though. Or youd have to be an orangotan cuz they have long arms, but then it wouldnt be gorilla steez, itd be orangotan steez.

Rainville does them. Sick as hell.

You can get insane rocket-airs on telemark. They look so bad ass.

bend your legs for truck drivers. and armadaskier has the right idea, bend your legs first, to reach ur nose, then straighten them
