I've got a serious problem and i would love it if someone could help me out. Last year i was pretty good at spinning. i could do 360's on skiis 540's with shoes. but then near the end of my season i started to spin crooket. So every time i went off a jump id kind of be spinning side ways. when i landed 1 leg would touch first and then the other. even if i try with out skiis i cant spin a 360 straight. If anyone who knows what im talking about and knows how to help me could you please post it.
Thank you

don't lean to the side at all if you do you will start to cork it, which is bad in your case, or land your goofy spins then it would be cool

Yesterday scientists for Health Canada suggested that, considering the results of a recent analysis that revealed the presence of female hormones in beer, men should take a look at their beer consumption. The theory is that drinking beer makes men turn into women. To test the theory, 100 men were fed 6 pints of beer each within a one hour period. It was then observed that 100% of the men gained weight, talked excessively without making sense, became overly emotional, couldn't drive, failed to think rationally, argued over nothing, and refused to apologize when wrong. No further testing is planned.

Depending on the foot you are landing on I would try throwing a safety to the opposite side in order to bring your body even. I did something similar at the beginning of last year. Good luck.

pop off both feet and rotate your shoulders straight while looking straight over your shoulder, you shouldn't be crooked at all

direct the spin with your shoulders... Some people just can't spin... but spinning with shoes on is a hell of alot different then off of a jump on skiis... we all get into ruts... Just dont dwell on it... and u'll hit that shit...


blow that $hit dry...

try popping off the jump rather than carving on the face. concentrate on your spin, and throw a grab in
skiing is the best sport around!^

that all depends on how much your spinning, for 1 and 3 definetly dont wind but for 5s to 2360's definetly wined, but make sure, you wined with both arms straight, coz you never know, they just might be the things putting you off centre eh

first, go into 'options' and turm off the Gay Mode. Then turn the Suck knob all the way down and the Cool knob all the way up. Then click OK.
