sure, you dont have to look down and see how high you are, when you spin till you hit you dont really have time to freak out. just kinda tuck up and set it slow, and stay in that tucked spot till you know its time to come around and spot your landing

I am the opposite. can't huck if I try. I can't do anything on a jump smaller than a 40 footer.

i can do both, i like spinning slower though, more control in the air, the harder i throw it the farther backseat i go

a lot of people are that way especially once you get better at spins, cuase especially during 180's u arent doing as much in the air so you have more time to actually think about landing and such..when u spin higher and grap longer u are more controlled

I can't spin a 360. I just can't do it. If the jump is anything bigger then 10 feet I'm gonna overrotate. I try and spin as slow as possible and I just keep going. For the longest time I could only come off rails switch too. I'm better at landing backwards than forwards.

the key is to set the spin and shit on the tranny and then just stay as still and composed in the air as you can, and let inertia do the work for you.

i was skiing this weekend and I figured out that if I'm going to spin big, I pop real hard off the lip. if I'm just doing a 3 or 180, I don't pop at all I just rotate. so maybe trying to just carve a little up the jump will help to set your slow spin. just an idea.

yes; what M1 said. Dont wind up or anything. Sounds like you 'know' how to spin slower, but like you said you freak out. You probably think you're not going to get around all the way before you land, and then you crash anything. just commit. in anything you do commit. I just started spinning 3's this season. I tried them at the end of last season, and almost had it the first 2 tries, then on my 3rd attempt i hucked it wayy to much, over-rotated, and crashed my brains out. So i was kind of afraid to spin anymore, but this year I just dropped into the park, found a nice 25-30 footer, and didn't think about it. I popped a little and started spinning. It was a nice slow, lazy 3 and i stuck it perfectly. Once you stick one, you'll get it.

yeah the best advice i can give you (going off of only two years of skiing) is just spin dont think about it and just spin once you start doing it ti'll become habit and itll be super smooth
