i can spin up to 540 to my right, but i get scared spinning left, i dont know why, and i wana be able to cause it sucks when i go into the pipe and i cant do crap on the right side... Any tips on getting past the fear? or just start throwin 180s and work on it?

either start working on it with smaller jumps and shit, or ally-oop your tricks on the right wall






I feel bad for people who don't drink, cause when they wake up in the morning, thats the best the're going to feel all day

My advice: Do not do everything ally oop. This is my one criticism of pipe skiing and it goes all the way from beginners to almost all the top pros. People have to learn to hit both walls of the pipe. I wish judges would take this more into consideration too.

Just hang out and ski in the pipe a lot. Its as simple as that. You'll get more and more used to the tranny and taking off your less natural side on the wall. I find spinning left off the right side of the wall easier, so I had to practice on the left wall a lot. I just took tons and tons of pipe runs.

yeah its alot easier to spin oneway verses the other hence unnatural. You could go alleyoop but its best to learn how to spin both ways I learned by just riding around throwing flat ground 180's and 360's both ways.good luck
