find a 5-10 foot table strait air it a few times then through a few 180's over it. there isn't much to a 3, just keep looking over ur shoulder your body follows where your head goes

I was pissed cuz I could not do a three for a while. Then I tried it on a larger jump and WHAM! I stomped it. So go fast and big and spot your landing.

yeah ^^^^ i lost a 3 for a while, but if you hit a larger jump, you dont have to whip it around, its much easier to bring around and land cleanly so follow his ^^^^ advice, go fast go big

For me I just went off the jump and looked behind myself as if something caught my attention and once at 270 you'll just naturally turn for the rest

Buy Poor Boyz's 'Twin Tip Skiing Tricks and Tips'. Mike D tells it from 180's up to switch 7's. I just happen to have two shrinkwrapped copies.

$7.50 + shipping and it's yours.

Once you get good at them, you can huck them off of little 1-2ft bumps, but until then you probably want to find a 4 ft jump. Start with 180s and throw some of them until you get comfortable with them.. Now your ready for the 3s. The key is to spin with your head, i.e. look around over your shoulder and keep looking until you spot your landing and your body will follow. Also, i found that 'cocking' my arms and wiping them around right as I took of the jump was helpful when i first started. Understand that this looks pretty ugly, but once you get better you shouldnt need to do this but should be able to just get yourself around with little effort.. This takes practice though! Just remember to always look over the shoulder and keep your head turning till your ready to land.

start small, don't go to big...you don't need that much air to spin one. don't overrotate, either.

some of you guys are real buttholes. i just learned last year (20 years old baby!). the thing that helped me the most was throwing a roundhouse punch with my leading arm (left arm to spin right, right arm to spin left). somebody said this was ugly and I agree, but it really gives you the momentum and keeps you on axis.
they're not that hard you just gotta be brave enough to try, i landed it on the 2nd or 3rd attempt. good luck man

do them off little rollers just to get the feel for spinning and then throw it slower when you hit a jump.

Yeah, but heres the thing, learning 180s are cool, but on a jump larger thatn 10 feet they are as hard as threes, at least for me. The roller idea is the best. You can go slow and under rotate and you wont die.

i say under rotate until you go negative. then you'll be doing unnatural 360s

i would say the most commen mistake people make when learning threes is looking at the ground the whole time. that tends to make your body go off center and produces nasty spills.

keep looking around leveled with your shoulders, not looking down.

if that makes sense?

I was trying a five yesterday and i landed, but my ski popped off. 3s are easy, just wind up like 10 feet before the jump, then when you get to the lip, swing your arms around and that will get you spinning. Throw in a grab or it's worthless

I leanred on like semi-quarter pipish jump and i found that that is easiest. One only need to be three feet in the air to do a 3 anyway but boost bigger than you think you need to.

At first its a strange, out-of-control feeling but you'll get used to it. 3's will never hurt either, unless you huck yourself off a cliff or something.

try it first w/ a small jump and make sure to turn w/ your whole body not just your upper or lower, cuz that's what fucked me over. if u cant hit it on the smal one just go bigger.

360's are easier than you think, its just like a switch corked 10, just only one rotation instead of 3 , and not switch

k man ill share with u how i taught myself them... go up to the jump when u reach the very end of the lip turn your right ski left just a bit and pop off and keep lookin... it should feel just like doing a 360 without your skis on... and dont be scared man its almost impossible to hurt yourself on a 360 unless your doing it over a 120 footer or if you over shoot the jump by far
