Hey NS, need some help for flatspins/rodeos.

Sent my first one today, take off was great, set it right, looked around then came untucked and went straight to my back from 15 feet up. Just wanted to know if there were any tips or helpful things to remember when throwing them, thanks!

I've done that once on a flat 3. But judging by the video you like didn't throw it hard enough at all, you wanna set it like a Lincoln to the right but drop your left shoulder like you would in a spin. you just gotta throw it like you would on a trampoline, I've seem a kid at my mountain do a rodeo 5 on a 10 foot jump so you can definitely get it on that jump just pop and set it hard.

I was trying to learn flats last weekend I sorta had the same problem as you, I would kinda get the rotation but I wouldn't comit enough to bring my skis around, dont know if that makes sense, but i would kinda be afraid to look over my shoulder when landing and i would end up landing on my back like you. Im hoping to try some more this weekend. Good luck with yours!

Look for the landing/over your shoulder! you basically stalled your rotation. The set looks somewhat promising. Try on tramp again or something
