right now i can do 3s pretty smoothily off big kickers. i haven't really tried 5s, but this thursday night i'll be at Avila and i figure it's time to give it a shot. are there any tricks to get that extra 180 around? i don't really know how to go about it. also, landing switch tips, i acn do 180s to, but you know...

also, let's say i'm spinning left, when i go for the cross i want my left ski crossing over my right ski, right?

sometimes when i hit jumps, i go way right in the air, why?

i just learned fives they are alot easier than you would think. Once you spot you three just stay tucked then when you reach five forty just look at back up at the jump.

make sure you get level with the landing cause if you land two far forward it hurts.

You'll be surprised the size of a jump you can learn fives on, doesn't gotta be huge. when you usually stop turning your head to land 3, keep looking over your shoulder for the jump, and BAMMO!!
