Anyway to fix head not moving with body in tricks?

if you spin to the left, look over your left shoulder. Look with your head and your body will follow. Watch youtube videos of pros spinning in slow motion and try to emulate what they're doing

You could embrace this struggle and just have crazy shifties in all your spins

it sounds like rather than turning your head in the direction you're spinning, you're turning it in opposition to that rotation. even if you didn't turn your head at all, it would always be facing the same direction as your chest. i'm guessing this is an automatic fear thing about turning your back in the direction you're traveling. then, even when you commit to the rotation, your head just gets stuck looking in that direction even after the momentum of your set brings your feet around.
maybe just practice some flat ground spins in your shoes, training yourself to look in the direction you're rotating. since you aren't flying through the air with edges to catch, the risk is basically zero. no matter what, you're going to have to start being super deliberate about looking where you are going.

It sounds insane but you’re probably taking off too early. Film yourself and if your upper body and lower body disconnect too much you are setting the spin too early before actually popping. Try to stay more squared up. Its hard to tell without clips tbh, but generally when people feel like they have to shifty super hard to get the spin around its because your takeoff is shitty

I had this habit from doing 1’s, I basically would spin with only my lower body and kept my gaze downhill.


caused issues learning 3s, but what helped was really just almost exaggerating the upper body/shoulder twist. Not so much you’re off balance, but for me I was barely doing it.

I think that the best way to learn anything is to film yourself and then watch it frame by frame so you can pick apart what your doing right and wrong

This is what it was for me. I had the same issue, upper body would be turning before I left the lip, then lower would have to snap to catch up while the upper paused to let it, resulting in an unintentional pause during the spin (sometimes looked like a cool shifty but usually not)

Take off and complete your pop then initiate the spin. Try late 180s, it'll help with the patience. Then just add a bit more emphasis to the rotation and keep your core flexed to keep everything together

Look all the way through. do whirlybirds and keep looking through to get used to it, same thing in the air.
