before you read this please keep in mind that this is my first year freeskiing and i need a lot of help so please dont flame me!!!!!

i've been trying to pull a 180 on a tabletop but i can never quite get it. i get about halfway thru the rotation and my legs fly out from under me (probably becuz the tabletop is no longer there) and i end up falling on my side onto the tabletop. can anyone explain to me what i'm doing wrong? am i going to slow during the rotation? should i pop before i get onto the tabletop?

maybe try to hit the jump with more of a wider stance this should give you better balance. and dont look down look right over your shoulder.

start a small rotation with ur shoulders, spot the landing over ur shoulder, first try 1's off little stupid things like powder build ups, ect,

make sure your weight is forward when you pop, your weight needs to be centered or you may lose your balance thorough the air
