is it easier to carve into your spins or to just pop straight off the lip and spin...?

It is easier to pop. However, when a jump has wide enough takeoff and landing to accomadate the drift included in a carved takeoff, go for it. I like the carve variety better, but do the pop more often.

You should "pop" regardless, if you carve or not.Carving gives you better momentum into your trick and it makes corking easier.

Last year I started carving into the lip and it threw me into a cork one time so now I do all my corks by carving so much easier idk if that made any sense

what if you come into the jump at an angle to that when you carve you are perpendicular to the lip? is there still a drift factor?

carving in takes alot of concentration i think. then doing it alley-oop style, whoah, i can do it, but man, i feel like a million things are running through my head.

easier to pop but once u learn to carve of lips it feels easier and smoother...of course if u dont have a wide lip then usually ull just hit it strait and pop

I think that popping is easier, but it will make your spins look uglier and have much less style. I've been carving into EVERY trick I have done this season, and Im even trying to learn how to carve with switch spins. Most of my friends have agreed that when you carve it always looks better, and you dont have to go corked if you carve in. So definitely learn how to carve into your spins.

Not a huge carve, I'm just trying to get on my edges right before I take off so that it helps me get corked.

just try to pop of the foot your carving towards, cause if you try top pop off of both feet your making it a lot harder for yourself

Off a 2 jump kicker, I carve off to the left on the right jump. I end up landing in the left jump's landing . I say go in from the left, carve left like this
             _____
           /    \\    /|   the middle lines a re the skis of the jump
          /     //   / |

pop and spin is easier.
its fun to carve off though and looks steezy if you can do it clean, like bibby in skimatic, and sometimes you get a nice cork into it
