make sure you comfortable with riding switch on flat ground first. make sure you can keep your skis parallel and whatnot, and make sure you can look over the shoulder of the way you want to spin first.. a lot of people have that problem.
and are you comfortable spinning smaller jumps yet? cause make sure you have that on lock before you want to go bigger.

be sure your balance going off jumps switch is good and after that it should be no problem

Am I supposed to look over the top of my shoulder or down around my shoulder? I've heard both so I don't know which one to go with. Naturally, it feels like I should look over the top.

just pretend like you're looking back at someone, only you're going towards them so yeah over the TOP of your shoulder
