i just got back from tahoe fucking sore as hell. several times i almost got all the way around for my 3, but i just couldn't get into a good landing pos. i wasn't just trying it off a tiny bump or anything. this was a reall jump. i think my problem was i wasn't taking off spinning. any pointers or tips?

it's not that you need to take off spinning, just keep looking over your shoulder

practice on the floor or a trampoline. once you can rotate from your core without hucking it, you will be able to get around easy. you might even do a 5 by accident while your still learning

Do you land backseat? That's what I was doing landing super backseat, the pop helped me out like some other gentleman said.

when you don't pop off the lip, the jump throws you backwards a little, and you land on the tails of your skis, and slide out, and get shinbang

1) Look over your shoulder, I always used to just look next to me, usually under my arm and it threw me off.
2) Carve off of the jump if you need to. I was going a bit corked a few weekends ago with carved 3's, and I didn't even have to rotate my body, it kinda just went.

nah, that's when you're trying to throw 5's off a rutted jump, and you catch your tip on the snow.
