I did mine off a tiny little jump and it was penciled to death and incredibly small...so not bad. It looks like you got plenty of air.

looked pretty text book to me. just work on going bigger and bending your knees in the air so you can get used to the feeling of grabbing and stuff

hit a bigger jump. that one is pretty small, so you had to spin pretty hard and you didnt have much time to do anything. So, get comfortable with bigger jumps, then do a 7, bring up your knees and grab that shit. steeze it out. good start, but to make it look good, youll have to practice a lot more.

seriousley get a bigger jump thats going to help u the most...my first 7 was on a jump about 40-50ft (in the vid looks much smaller thoe cause of the angle) and I felt like I was hucking so much...u prob felt like u hucked like a mother fucka

ya good job but always remember to suck up your landing gear (legs) every time you leave the ground your jumping will increse ten fold

Nice approach to the spin, you set and held your rotation well, rather than force it in the air. With practice, bringing the legs in and throwin a grab and your straight $$$.

thanks again to everybody.

the jump was about 35-40 feet when it hit it..and that was closer to the end of a warm day so the lip was mushy after so many kids hitting it so you didnt really get enough air but the distance wasn't bad. the camera angle kind of minimizes the size of the jump.

and to who asked about spinning to the right^^ up there. i am one of three kids out of like 20-30 kids that we usually ski with that spins to the right. i can spin to the left but can only do 1s and 3s. ive been working on bigger spins though.

trampoline............. use it man, it will help alot with style and stuff.  you have the most balance in a athletic stance, try to box up your spins more, and yea maybe a little bigger jump but its not bad because my resort has shitty jumps so.

^ bigger jump. thats all you need. suck them legs up and hit up a grab. i think tails are simple with a 7 give it a try.
