I'm also in the slow painful process of learning this trick. I spin left so what I've been trying to do is pop, turn that first 90 degrees, then roll onto my back and bring my knees in. My problem is when I turn my head to spot my landing my body doesn't know how to come out of the rotation, so I end up coming down on my hip.

I've been watching a lot of videos but I can't seem to translate that to my rotation.

TURPIN HELP US!

i used to have that problem. watch pros do rodeos and look at their left hand. it leads the spin and brings them back on axis. if you use that hand and u safety a bit back on the binding of ure right ski and throw it properly youll land on ure feet. i cant stress enough that that hand is the key., like in alot of tricks

Lead with your legs.  Thats the one sentence I needed to fix my rodeos.

yo try tramping and diving boards and getting used to the rotation. then when you get to snow it will be way easier to get out of that situation.
