dont you guys get dizzy when spining a 10 or doing a dub cork 10? i have always wondered if pro skiers get a little dizzy after a big air comp. i would imagine that TJ got dizzy after the dub 16

I'd imagine it's a lot like doing a 12 or 14 off a diving board, which has never made me dizzy.

Yeah, I'm assuming it's because you work your way up to bigger stuff you're just used to it.

Try spinning around on the ground three or four times, those are pretty freakin' big spins for skiers but it isn't that much spinning on the ground, understand?

Well my guess is, that when you learnt your first 3s, 5s, those seemed to spin ''very fast'' but after you got em good, they all are just easy as cake.

you know what i mean?

the first video talks about how your brain learns to compensate for the sudden motion.  it's no different than gymnasts or ice skaters. 

also I had to laugh at the talking head.  "They call this...the pop!"

If you watch that video it says "skyriders" before the routine. I am getting trampoline training at my local gym by the man that runs the skyriders /claim. (Its not the person in the video but still)

Closing your eyes does wonders for the first 3-4 seconds of your spin.

Like the first time I tried to dub rodeo my eyes followed the jump and I fell because I was so dizzy.

Eh I really don't buy much of that. Simon does not have superior brain power or something to counteract his dizzyness, He's just like the rest of us. Those trick just don't make you dizzy
