Drifting to the right on my 270's on

Here is my problem, lately when I go to spin a 270 on (spin to the left) I somehow end up at the very right side of the box when I land. It looks sorta like I'm trying to pretzel because I'm landing on the right hand rail of the box. I threw about 20 in a row today onto a wide box trying all different ways to get myself centered but I drifted right each and every time. Anyone have any suggestions?

have a wider stance and bend your knees spinning, if that doesnt work try approaching the box with your right ski centered on the box

make sure your throwing or spinning the 270 to hard because it can throw you off left or right. so make sure there is a decent lip and enough time to practice smooth slower ones... since the faster you have to spin the harder to spot the rail and slide it with the waist of your ski

I'm almost certain it's because you're jumping a lot off your right leg. Line your right ski up with the middle of the box or practice popping with both legs better.

Yeah I think it might be that I'm popping/pushing off with my right side too hard. But doesn't it seam like that would help make you go more left? I am spinning them pretty hard/fast too so that probably isn't helping.

there ya go. i had the same problem for a bit, your probably spinning to early. come into the box and REALLY concentrate on preventing the lower half of your body from rotating (the upper half will start the rotation) until you've popped.

dont pop so hard, what you have to do it pop a lil but pull up your feet like a tuck, and try and float the spin.

i had a similar problem, the lining up the midle of the box with my right ski thing worked for me.
All times are Eastern (-5)
