pop has less to do with it, than how and where you set your spin

get low, wide stance, pop and turn upper body to your spinnig direction, your legs will follow, if you can crouch up to get the spin around better and just spot, and stomp with steeze and be like bitch pleaze!

kinda an old thread, im assuming he has got it down by now,

but if not my guess is maybe you're cranking too hard off the jump. You really dont need to wind up for a 360,espcially if its off adecent size table. As you're approachuing the jump concentrate on poping the spin once your skis have left the ground.

Here's my two pence,

If you spin to the left think about keeping your right shoulder up throughout the spin , or if you want to spin right think about keeping the left shoulder level throughout the spin,


It just works.

you're either looking down on takeoff or setting too early would be my guess. Common problems

when i do 3's i used to have the same problem just stay low going into the jump and pop clean off the lip and just spin but don't look at the ground look forward and if u c the landing early just focus on lining ur body up good

drop your opposite spin side shoulder down and to the front. i spin right = drop my left shoulder down and forwads. it helps compensate for the angle of the jump

Yea... I think it's just about getting comfertable. Once you get comfertable in the air, you'll be able to control your weight alot better. And once you can do that you can spin anything (amount wise).
