when your in the air (and even when taking off) look towards the horizon instead of towards the ground (if you are), of course near the end you should look for the landing and push your hands forward.

k first thing, skiers cant cab... ever.

but thats ok, because switch cork spinning is neeto. just go with it. If you dont want to go sideways, youll have to not dip your shoulder when youre past 360. Stay square to the horizon.

open your body up sooner and really focus on your rotation while your in the air.

but the cork should be on its way out or halfway through by then because for him its not happening till 540. Keep those shoulders square and open when you take off

i've been having alot of problems too, i was at pc today working on sw 5s.

my theory is this: you're starting to go off axis because you're popping hard off of your left foot (assuming you're spinning over your left shoulder). so when you pop, your left foot is pushing too hard and throwing your shoulders off axis.
    my idea is that to stay on axis, you need to edge super hard with your right foot and use that to set your spin. that way it'll be a more even pop.

this is my theory and i was testing it a bit today, what do you think though?

NO, switch fakie, maybe. But we do not have the required equipment to cab anything. IE a skateboard.

sorry to nitpick!

tuchie....(i murdered that word)....but there are a lot of people and magazines that say cab...for example in FREEZE they have a trick tip to cab 180 off a cliff and on the cover of TBC it says tanner hall cab 540.....just some examples but i do agree with you on the tech side of things.

Its semantics right?

on the other hand, a cab is a fakie ollie... so tanners switch 5 on the cover of tbc isnt a cab 5 because he didnt technically ollie. I guess technically if you mounte your skis backwards, rode switch and buttered off your heals you would be doing a ca-butter. hhaa

all pros i have met have said that cab is switch, i dont see how anything cant be cabbed because it isnt skateboarding and its as close as you can get.

try keeping your hans up and in front of you , it usually will prevent landing backseat

it is good advice. but since you cant cab on skis, go and practice switch 5's untill you have them on lock.
