Yea that setup looks super fun. Tons of options. I wish I had a setup like that. You're going to progress really fast.

Nice attempts but ur trailing arm isnt following thru so ur getting stuck at 180. Get square on the rail and keep that trailing arm spinning and u got it 💯. I always had the same problem you’ll get it next session no doubt

Yes. To add to that look back up at the rail to help keep your rotation going the full 270- looks like you stop turning your head about half way. It's kind of like driving, look where you want to go and that is where you'll end up.

*Biking. Sort of a universal rule for how people are wired and how we control our bodies, works for most things.

Oh ya man its necessary for any on-axis spin trick. I have a buddy that couldnt get a front 3 into a bank and then I told him to remember the trailing arm tip and then he got it first try. I swear it changed the way I ski too, my trailing arm always lagged behind and it fucked my spins for so long.

Ill post his clip cuz its hilarious. Listen with audio on lmao



https://www.newschoolers.com/videos/watch/987892/trim-E1BCBCC1-3719-41A3-8ECC-B3EBC42CDB80-MOVhe threw his arm a little too early. You should try to be squared on the rail, then spin and follow thru with the trailing arm. But u get the idea

I've noticed this all over skiing. Arms too far behind all the movements, when really they should be leading all the movements. Grabs, spins, even straight airs. Actually where I notice it the most is on the bumps or slightly steeper groomers, so many people have their arms down behind their waist, putting them really out of a good position. Leading every movement, especially more advanced ones like spins in the air gives you way more balance and control
