so i know there are a bunch of threads like this, but i had a few questions of my own.  my 3s used to be really good, but over the last couple weeks ive kinda lost em.  Where as they used to be nice and clean, now they seem like their all over the place.  im always landing backseat (in a snowplow too, wth?), their getting all corked, and im not really sure what to do with my arms.  should i pull them in or what?

Alright just focus on your leading shoulder. Make sure that your lead shoulder is straight, or even a little higher than normal and you should be back to normal.

just clean your room then you are sure to find them.


















and seriously, the thread about ten down from this has the exact same questions, like word for word.

well it all depends on what your going for on the 3, if your doing pencil steeze or if your going for a mute or tail or truck or japan it all afects how you change your body in the air sooo you might wana make it a little more specific.

But my only suggestion to that is just take a little chill break from the park and just ski some normal runs doing 3's and stuff off of the little random jumps on the side of runs so that you just stop over thinking it while your going up to the lip of the jump in the park.

Thats just what i do when i start eating it on stuff that i know i can land, just don't force it

I know everyone has there own way with coping and many people will not agree with mine but thats just my 2 cents

Yeah I have that problem of sometimes landing like in a snowplow, I think its cause I'm trying to keep myself from over rotating or something, I don't know.

its seems like i can only do 3s off of jumps that are at least 10 - 15ft... when i try to huck it off of anything smaller or little hits down the run ... well i do a sweet 270 to ass slam or something...

anyone have any tips for that?? (meaning, being able to do them on smaller hits) my bf said that i should practice more on the flats... but its the flats that are my problem  ahhhhh!
