don't be a pussy. that's mostly it. Can you do a 180 off flat ground? if so, just do that same motion on the lip of a jump, and look over your shoulder. seriously, if you can spin, just get some speed, sack up, and try hucking yourself. and also try the searchbar

to tell you the truth, nobody except you will care when you fall. Think about all the people you've seen fall in the park. If you saw them in the grocery store, would you recognise them? And people don't care if you fall as long as you're trying stuff. It's the kids who just ski through and don't try who get on my nerves. If the kids are good, they know that everybody's got to start someplace.

and if you can get 300 off flat ground, you are definatly all set. just get some air and spin

try it on a small-medium jump since you'll need a little more air than somebody whos been doing them for years.
wind up your arms before you take off and look over your shoulder until you can see your landing, your feet will follow.
