Bottoming out on my 7's and 9's

Sup Guys,
So lately, I've been trying to not have any fear and just hit everything huge, and I just recently started throwing 7's and 9's. But the only way I can get around is to really get a lot of speed and get in the air for a long time. Which means that at my park.. where the biggest feature is like a 60ft kicker, I end up landing in the flat. That is fine for 7's but not for 9's as I have landed on my tails a lot and have had 2 concussions (sp?) in the last week, any way to speed up my rotations on the bigger spins or a way to stomp it switch in the flat? Thanks...

Is that bad that the biggest feature is a 60 footer? Thats pretty damn big, should be able to throw anyhting off that if you just spin a bit harder off the lip. Maybe dont set your rotation so hard and spin smoothly, that should help keep you in balance.

ya you might be huckin too hard, just try to set a nice long rotation as you come off the lip, and kep looking over your shoulder. you should be able to easily get a 9 around on a 60 footer.

I don't huck, the fact that my spin is a little slow is I think the reason I really have to get a lot of air, but I know I have a late start to my rotation, because when I was learning I was always carving off the lip, so now I have an exagerated pause after I pop off the lip. But I guess if you think just having it smoother and starting off the lip should help, then I'll give that a shot tomorrow. With the concussions and all. Thanks

Thanks man, I do appreciate that, they were both pretty light, and they are only the second and third this season. I am def. taking it easy, but working on this spins won't hurt, I will just get used to doing the spin right after the lip on 3's and 5's just to get the feel. Make sure I don't fall... but thank you for the warning, I would ordinarily sit out, however I've probably only got about 7 days left to ski this season so I will go out and try and get something figured out. But thank you

ok then you need to start a big smooth spn, AS you hit the lip, not after. look at jon olsson throw a 9, he's already looking backwards when his skis are stil completely on the tranny

god damn I asked a fucking question... thank you for those that posted intelligent response even though most said I was screwing up. Thats what I needed to hear. Not... 'fucking pussy.. at my hill we only have.. you must be a bitch... god you are gay' Damn kids , I don't care what you have or what you can do, I was asking a question about what I should do to progess MY skiing, what I should try to do to fix a problem that I am having... not to be bitched at by fucking half-wits about why i suck dick and they own. Damn...
sorry got that off my chest. Thank you for everyone who helped.. gonna give it a shot tomorrow...

dont worry about it, notice that none of them said they themselves could throw those 9s. you just gotta start your spin on the lip. good luck

Perhaps that wasn't quite as bad as I had first thought... i did blow up a little bit about not much in these posts. So I dunno maybe its the shit I got in the past about questions i've had mixed with the relatively small amount I got here. Sorry the Percicet and Vicaden I got for my concussions might make me a little irritable.HAHA But I would edit that if I could. But thanks again... and sorry about flipping out... if it is just on a message board.
