make sure you set it as you approach, make sure you have enough speed and when you take off and start the spin move your body so your looking over your shoulder.

explain a little more maybe.. but turn your head to spot your landing , maybe throw your arms if you need that much rotation.

the biggest thing you need to do is commit to the spin and tell yourself that you're gonna throw it how you want to. approach the jump with your feet shuolder distance apart and wind, at the lip, set your spin and keep your body coiled until you know you have spun howver many degrees you're going for. keep your arms close to your body as well, if you dont you're more likely to kind of stop your roatation.

Use your shoulders and hips to set. Make sure you pop. Keep trying, and you will get it.


Same with learning any trick, PERSEVERANCE is the key.

idk videos would help identify the problem but make sure you get a nice windup (dont worry about style quite yet) and get your momentum spinning before you pop. once your in the air pull you limbs in under control and look over your shoulder for your landing.

make sure your legs are strong enough to hold up so you dont pencil. and make sure your core is strong enough to tie your legs and torso together. and make sure you do it off a decent jump. other wise you get thrown wierd off the bat. dont learn it on shitty self built kickers.

try and bite your ear off. Really, when you're in the air, just wind up a little depending on how big the jump is then just keep looking over your shoulder to spot your landing. Standing on the ground, you might want to just twist your body around, keeping your feet still until you can see the tips of your skis on the other side of you.that will give you a feel of what you need to do in the air. don't bother trying to spin your legs much, because as long as you rotate your upper body your legs will follow, because your spine follows your eyes and legs follow spine. If you watch movies, it sometimes helps to put it on slow motion if you can while people are spinning because then you can see how they move themselves. Basically with any trick, if your not getting it just relax for a minute and think about where you might be going wrong and what you can do to fix it, then try again. Hope this advice helps! good luck.

dude put a hot-dog on your dominant shoulder, whip your arms and hips around, and try to eat the whole thing before you land, that should get you spinning, just look for the landing zone before you get there so it doesn't catch you off balance
