hey i was wondering about switch landings... i can spin 1s, 3s, 5s, 7s and switch 1s and 3,s but on my switch landings i kinda just let it come to me i dont spot the landing at all. So once i get the rotation around i just wait till i hit the ground. I was wondering if theres any way that is easy to spot switch landings or if it doesnt matter. because i wanna do 9s and switch 7s but will not spotting my landings mess me up on bigger spins?

when i do switch spins im spotting my landing the entire way around, it just seems really natural. When you do bigger spins just as you are coming around take a peek down at the landing to see how close it is.

Put on a helmet cam and you will be surprised at what you actually do while you ski.

I've always wanted to do that... What I look at in the air never really registers with me. I know I must spot landing because I come around right, but its a really unconscious thing for me.
