Id like to get some advice for anyone willing to share

Basic information...Only skied park for this season, Salamon Threat park skis, center mounted


I would really like to get some advice onto how to adjust from just doing 360s to moving onto 540s and so on, i can do 360s off any jump and make them look nice and steezy, but i can never get a 540, i beleive i need to keep leading with my head because i feel like i release once i complete my three

Id also like to know some grabs to learn on skis apart from safety grab

Thanks for reading

I just huck a bit harder and keep my head turned for a bit longer.. I suggest you do a lot of 180s first until you're comfortable landing switch.

I got it by just committing. You just throw a 3 harder than normal, and KEEP looking around your shoulder, it'll come around, you don't really need a big jump. Practice landing and clean it up

Hey man, I'm just getting back into park this season after quitting for like 6 years due to a broken femur off a jump. I've gotten way better at skiing in that period of time, but forgotten literally everything about park skiing. Check out k2 school of rockers on YouTube for some intro videos on that shit. No idea if those are super good, but enough for me to get an idea of what to do and practice. I like em because it just tells me where to shift momentum at certain times. I've got pretty good body awareness for shifting momentum and all that to spin, so these kinda cleared it up for me when to do what to make things a bit easier.

540s are easier to land than 180s sometimes. On bigger stuff, I found a bigger spin is easier to land. Plus landing switch gives you some play on an accidental off axis spin.

Your problem seems to be you take off. By panicking on the take off, you might be dropping a should and forgetting to pop. Remember to relax and simply over rotate a 3 on something small to finish in a 5. Once your confortable with setting the rotation, go to a bigger jump.
For your first ones, forget the grab and go helicopter style. Use your arms to control rotation. Wrap in to spin faster and extent to slow; this will take your mind off the rotation and spend more time thinking about your take off.

good luck
