When I do 3s spinning to my left, ive looked at footage and only my right leg leads the spin and sometimes it smashes into my left leg and a ski comes off. it seems like my left leg is helpless. how can i fix this

Try pizzaing right before take off. It will give you more edge on thr lip and a platform to pop and set the rotation.

This works great for smaller 360s. But of off larger jumps try not to do it

Maybe my meter is broken... But don't do that.

Wide, parallel, stable stance going up the lip, make sure your knees are bent and you're leaning on the tongue of your boots, solid pop, throw your arms and shoulders left, be patient, but keep looking for the landing.

That usually keeps everything in order. If not, an easy grab like a safety helps tuck your legs up.

Wide stance off the jump. Also I used to have this problem, i found that putting a grab on the spin fixed it really quickly.

Well it's not so much as pizzaing as digging your leading edge in. So if your spinning left, you would want to dig your left edge in to help set the spin.

Just find a decent size jump between 10 and 20 feet and make sure you punch your arm around and almost try to bite your hear I guess. Also don't close your eyes
