so i started throwing 5's today at the park. but i cant get em. i either just end up doing a 3 or i get around to about 450 and then eat shit. i was trying to do them on about a 20 footer and had seen other guys doing 5's on the same jump. any suggestions? i am just sick of killing my body in the park eating shit hit after hit.

A big problem some people have is that they will throw it fine, and when they get to 360 they spot your landing. You won't be able to get your tails from 360 to 540 around if you spot at 360 and think you can just whip around that last 180. Keep looking and spinning until you are at 540, and then you will be looking uphill to spot. If you do that I think you'll be good. Good luck man.

i hardly ever learn new spins in the park, find a bc kicker and huck off it all day, it seriously fucking helps and if you fuck up it doesn't hurt and you don't have to worry about any cunts landing on you if you fall like in the park. i use the park just refine what i already know I can land pretty well and to practice rails

just learn it in the park, where you have the pressure of spectators, and the nice soft spring landings

do a cork3 and then add a 180 at the end, it looks way sick and cool

i dont know, i never had that problem. the first time i decided to do a five, i stuck it. i guess you just gotta keep spinning and dont spot the landing.

try a bigger jump. 20 feet is not a lot of air time, therefore you have to spin faster.

remember dont think about the 3 in the air..youll bring ur head back around and your rotation will stop or slow down bad

Just get your speed dialed and then concentrate on spinning as hard as you can. The hard part is you have to go into it expecting to fall. If you do it a couple times, youll find out just how hard you have to spin and then youll just hav to concentrate on landing it and riding away clean
