try to land with your knees bent and suck up the impact. chances are you're landing pretty flat so no matter what you're gonna be feeling a little pain.

it's because of your mucsle are tired after landing switch all the time. and jumping. the back where you put most presure when skiing.

your muscles are probably just sore after trying something new. and fuck that kid who thinks he special, because he's #16000. this isn't aristocracy

And does anybody know how to get it to go around farther ? I prewind a little just so i have room to swing to the left but all i can squeeze out is like a 170 ... the jump is about twofeet high and the starter maybe like 15 feet above that ... they look nice but they arent complete .. thanks

you should be able to pop switch flat land, without a jump

umm keep your legs barely bent and then when you hit the ground have them absorb the landing...(think like a car shock). umm if you feel yourself getting tired then just stop

your not alone man. unlike half the people on this site, i can admit that i was in your position once, and the best advice i got, was use your head, and your feet with your spin. and in terms of landing, just try different ways. one time try leaning towards your tails when your landing, so you land flatter. the best thing that works for me, is to pop off the jump, and look down at the ground, NOT back at the jump, and you will land very very squared

this is a very strange thread. Anyway, your best bet is to first get comfortable with skis on and get comfortable hitting jumps. In general, you want to avoid any flailing in the air, which will be impossible if you havent worked on the basics of skiing and jumping. Tuck those legs up a bit and turn your whole body in one fluid motion instead of spinning the 180 super fast right away then waiting to come down while you fly through the air backwards.

how do people bend their knees when they land switch? you need a steeper landing.

to spin fast its important to deploy the " head-shoulders-knees-and-toes na na na head-shoulders-knees-and-toes!" method
