Alright guys, this is gonna be a little tale of my day letting everyone know how it went and then another bunch of questions because as you might have guessed by now, I didn't quite get perfect at all. So I was complaining that I was pussing out and going 270 or 180. Well i go up today and the park was ungroomed heavy wet So-cal pow. My first question being, could this have affected my skiing, because visibility was shitty and the snow was a little grabby? Anywho, but when i fell it never hurt except for the one mild whack on the head i took, but no worries a little Vicadin (sp?) and im on my way. Anywho, so i went up threw the first one, (fyi I am hitting a severly downhill jump with about a 3 foot lip which sends you more out than up, on about a 12 foot table top with a small landing ( if you think i should go bigger or smaller let me know.) so.. on the first one I throw it with a wide stance, try and focus on keeping my middle tight, and throw my head, I landed back seat and caught my right edge but still managed to ski away, threw the next one and same thing... so i was just thinking i needed to pop more and lean forward. Anywho then i met up with some bros and we started doing this. Then It came to the point where I was barely getting past 180 sometimes and just coming down really gnarly. From then on with about 20 more tries I never landed one, landed a few backseat but not a ton.. a lot were just wipe outs. But I noticed, one thing, i am having trouble looking over my shoulder, I don't khow if this is because of my goggles or because it is easier for me to look over my right shoulder than left, but I am still throwing left or what. But i found a lot of times i was landing short, and the times when everything wasn't a complete blur for me, I was seeing my skis and not my landing. Also my bro's said that I was almost corking out my 3's it looked like. Anything i should try, maybe spinning to the right? Or something because i am back up there tomorrow at 8, to go try this shit again and im not coming home till i can stomp em, so any thoughts on what i am doing wrong, please let me know. I would be really appreciative.
