I seem to have alot of trouble getting my big 3's down, i can spin them pretty good but once i start to tuck up i get screwed... the tables have a 20 foot flat on top and you're 6-10 feet up there when you hit them right. any suggestions? i've been getting my ass kicked every time, last week i was landing 3s and 5s off smaller stuff and tucking up and grabbing the 3s, tuckin on 5s. i feel whipped by the jumps and it makes me ski worse

What do you mean you get screwed? You go off balance or what?

dude, just spot the landing, and make sure that when you take off you are taking off looking down the hill, keep it smooth, picture yourself spinning on one axis only....you'll be fine

I bet you're looking down. Keep the vision up and you won't have to try to spot, you'll see it all.

Dont keep the vision up, keep it leveled, go in with confidence and stay on top of your skis and do not come in the jump backseat...

i find if you lead with your shoulder and keep your arms and hands quiet in the take off then it is much more conducive to a stable spinning motion. no whipping or winding up...just generate the torque necessary to get yourself around with the middle of your body.

dude all you need to spot is the landing itself- just spin real fast and gay first few times so you can spot your landing easy, realise how easy it actually is, and get some air awareness

this 'looking-down' problem is also my problem.

If i slam a 3 at a serious kicker, i just remember how beautiful my skis were when the sun shined (maybe the wrong form) on them....

Yeah, once you get to 180, keep your vision leveled, just make sure your not looking at your skis. Try to find a land mark at 180, and work on spotting that, then just bring it around, that makes it way smoother.























well thats pretty tough because my hand is a lot sexier than many females-NewSkool450

if you come off on your tails that might be why you land on your tails. come off on the center of your ski.

Yeah man, I used to just look at my feet while I was spinning...straight down and not looking over the shoulder at all, completely blind...I would land them all the time, but always back seat and not smooth at all. Force to look over the shoulder and look up. Once you see the landing, you will force your skis on plain.

We'll have you dead pretty soon.
