just try to zero spin on small jumps and work your way up. look over your shoulder that you spin towards i.e. if you spin left look over your left shoulder

dont try a zero, they are hard. do a switch 1. once you try it, youll be hooked, so much smoother.

if i were u i would not try a 0 spin your first try cause they just feel weird, especially if its ur first time hitting a jump switch, try a small 180 over a small jump

no zero, i agree with every one here though, try 1's on small jumps, and upgrade from there. you will be an addict
