Every time I spin, I worry about the edge on my board cutting down into the kick stopping my rotation and hurling me headfirst against the landing. This happened to me twice, once on a small jump breaking a rib and once on a big air giving me a concussion. Any tip?

[sierrasnowboard]

@Kilkeen - Sounds like you need some more practice just jumping off an edge while doing a straight air. This can help you get your timing down. You want to be jumping off the edge or spinning off the edge as the board is coming off the takeoff, so that the tail pops off the lip. Spinning too soon can cause the board to catch.

can someone help? in this how to it says avoid looking at the landing during the last 180 but in all the other how tos they say to spot like that

[sierrasnowboard]

@YourMomIsATurtle - If you spot at the landing you can stall your rotation. There is not one way to style out this trick so practice both methods and see what works for you.

im doing these steps and steps from tutorials that say similar things to this almost perfectly but for some reason i can only get a 270, is there anything i can do better to get the last 90?

[sierrasnowboard]

@MajorOPayne - If you are getting to 270 on a frontside 3 you are most likely not spotting your landing. Make sure to look down the landing zone off the toe side edge to complete the rotation. You can also scissor the board around the last 90 using the legs if your upper body is leading the way into the spin.

at 130 a kid ate it

[MrBrouwerPower]

I want to try it, but all the jumps are so hard landings so if I fail it gonna hurt bad >.<

[MrBrouwerPower]

@TinySombrero Probally, keep your shoulder and head turned the way you spin to not lose the rotation :)

[rlclark50]

@1:14 when it says spot the landing zone by looking down toward the toe edge, that's incorrect. He should be spotting blind. You can see he actually threw a back 3, not a front 3. Front 3 you must spot the landing blind by looking back at the knuckle or somewhere in that direction too prevent a revert or over-rotation.

Gonna try it on Tuesday first time tryin

[TinySombrero]

I always only get a 270 :/ Is it because I stop looking over my shoulder?

[TheSnowboarder275]

when i go up to the jump i always chicken out and 180 and tips to help? please respond

[Dahmnumba22]

i have a problem with over rotating my spins. How do i avoid that? should i just spin slower? or can i stop my rotation before i land?
