I've been skiing for years, but last year just started playing around with twins, doing tricks, etc. My problem is with rotation...We just got some big jumps, and I haven't tried them yet, but I think I should at least be able to do a simple 360 off something small, but I can't get my rotation spinning fast enough and always come up short. What's the secret to getting a quick rotation?

I have the same problem, but I found that if you wind up and get big air the problem goes away.

yeah, wind up helps when you need the extra rotation.. When we wind up, we mean cocking your arms in the opposite direction you plan on spinning then once you get to the lip, pop off of it and throw your arms in the direction you wanna spin.. this helps, but the key is...

USE YOUR HEAD AND LOOK AROUND AND SPOT YOUR LANDING.. your body will follow.
