so this was the first 3 i landed about a week ago, definitely not the best but i was happy to land it on my fourth or fifth try. there’s definitely a lot of room for improvement, but i’m wondering if the size of the jump will play a part at all in improving. i feel like the jump i went on in the video was a little small and it made me feel like i couldn’t get enough rotation, but that might’ve been cause i caught the back edge of my left ski.

any tips on how to improve would be great as well. i know i landed a little backseat and didn’t keep my skis together very well

also i’m curious about how carving into it would be different and if that would maybe help at all with the rotation

Once you’re comfortable with small 3s I really recommend that you try on a larger jump. You won’t have to put that much force to spin the 3 and your balance will be better. Also remember to pop.
When doing a carved 3 you should remember to try only bending the legs not your body. If you bend the whole body you will start corking.

i do it on accident a lot from over rotating, funny cause i was going off about not getting enough rotation. it’ll be sick though when i can start riding switch comfortably
