stay low(knees bent), and for spinning just keep lookin no matter what untill you see your landing

^ hes right. for spins just start on smaller jumps (like the ones that come up from the side of the trail if you know what i mean)on an easy trail. then go to the park and do it. or just do your first one into a shitload of powder. thats so fun!

the first thing you really gotta learn would to be hitting the kickers with confidence. you should be able to do a moderatley big jump wiht like a grab or somehting before you learn to do spins so you are confident with landing jumps

try doing 3's on the snow, get used to the idea of losing sight of where your going shit. or try little 180's and then spinning your self around after u land.
