Whenever I'm throwing a trick where I really have to look it around hard, I end up staring right into my hood. Anybody else have the same problem? Or possibly a solution, besides going no hood this year?

I do the same thing end up looking into my hood. Put your goggle strap on the outside of your hood.

sacrifices must be made to be gangsta. my hood could probably nest a family of eagles. obermeyer needs to tone down the size of their hoods. the fur does help eitehr, it gets in my mouth if i happen to be screamin when i spin

haha yeah! i come into jumps forward and switch around right before the jump and when i turn backwards my hood flips up into my face. I usually have to hold it down.

zip up your coat more, and if that doesnt really help, wearing a helmet usually eliminates that problem

it is more likely a problem with how you are spinning

The new airblaster jackets actually have little magnets in them so when you spin your hood stays attached to the jacket and doestn fly up./

My new coat has a magentic piece in the middle of my shoulders and on on the top of my hood so they snap together and hold the hood day, hopefully that helps

sometimes i'll tuck the left side of my hood under my goggle strap so the hood stays with my helmet when i look to the left while spinning. there's not much scarier than going into a big spin and seeing the inside of your hood as you take off.

i hate that, i found that if you tilt your hood so it covers the right side of your face per say if your spinning to the left works good (sometimes)

well if you guys actually had sense of air, you would know where you are and what position you are in. thus you dont really need to see.

instead of spining, just flip forward and backward, that way your hood wont get in the way.

your probably leading your spin with your head unless its on a tweaked grab and your looking over your shoulder or somethin.. i dont have a problem with my hood when i'm spinning, its when i ski switch
