Spotting rotations

rotate

Trampoline!

360s-- are you thinking of them as two 180s? i see that a lot with novices and it's really not a good way to think about a 3, the mechanics of it are really very different from a 180. there's a ton of different ways to do them, i say you should pick a pro or sick am that has a 3 that resonates with you and watch video of them doing it over and over again to understand their form and how they're approaching it. i suggest tanner hall, he's got great style but his style is very simple and traditional in a good way, i think watching him do a ton of 3s is a great start, but if another dude does them in a way that makes more sense to you, use that

but regardless, don't lean back to try to cheat the spin, that's another common beginner mistake. flex your core and calmly start the rotation and look for your landing

Front 2-- these are all about having a lock on to the rail so you can initiate the small spin with your edges as you get to the end. your front toe will go a little up and your back toe will go a little down ("scissoring"), initiate the spin and commit to it with your core, and don't worry about the exact angle your skis hit the ground, it's going to be fine. this is one trick where looking down at the landing immediately isn't a bad thing

Back 2-- are all about starting the spin using the opposite technique as the front 2, and keep looking for your landing; don't look down as you spin, just look for the landing and again, don't sweat it too much

and for all of these rail spins, LIFT YOUR KNEES a little. best rail advice i ever got while starting besides "look at the end of the rail" as advice for just successfully finishing a rail. your body naturally wants to go where you're looking

Just pop harder, go on bigger jumps and keep looking over your shoulder

For blind swaps I find turning my upper body when I get onto the rail and continuing the momentum from my initial turn on to the swap helps get me around

Stand up, don't look at your feet and find something below the feature to look to when finishing the rotation.

I have the same issue with cork 7's and was hoping someone could help. I huck it and have the roatation down and normally land on my feet but then wash out because I don't know where I am. in b4 Yoo stop being a pussy and just stomp it. at what point is it best to spot coming out of a cork 7/9/10? Thanks!
