pencil is fine. You are probably keeping your shoulders level when you go switch because you are bending back to see where the lip is, but not when you go forwards.

Tucking up and grabbing usually screws me up. Whatever works I guess.

this is really easy to fix, when you crank your sholders, just keep your head up, so at the 180 point you should be looking up hill, then let the other 180 go around and you wont land back seat if you keep your head up while spining!

don't look to hard for you landing and your shoulders will stay straight.

before the lip look down the hill and look for a point somewhere. Then try to pul around the 3 so you can see the point again. landed.

My suggestion is to stay on top of the spin -- you're probably concentrating too hard on it, you just gott feel it.

keep your weight in the middle of the ski when you're jumping.. that might help

just when you hit the jump, pop off it like crazy and everything will come together.

Yea me too. I finally tried putting my weight really far forward and that helped some. But you can still tell that i'm semi backseat, it sucks.
