same situation here. jumps got taken down for snow back in late december and havent been back up since. i was so damn close too. i was gettin like 270 around and then just butterin the rest around when i landed. they'll be up again in a day or two (at least they're supposed to be) but im afraid it might be like startin from scratch again

ya thats my look at this website i can only land a sketchy five but i love the sport and i know a lot about it. so it really dosen't matter if you are a good skier we still love the sport and we know a ton about it so who cares.

pencil steez!! gotta start somewhere.

but yea for anybody who is still tryinng but not getting, just keep lookin with your head. cause i was used to 180s and not turning my head, just my body. for 3s u gotta look all the way around. good luck!!

Im working on mine as well...I can land them like 270 and then I pretty much butter out of it so it doesnt really count, but my problem is I think my brain just shuts off in the air...this makes it very hard to spot my landing, anyway Ill keep working on it, but anytips would be great, especially from those who just got theirs so learning is fresh in their head! Thanks!

i think 3s are easier off bigger jumps. i kept messing up this year on the smaller ones and eventually hurt myself, but i finally was able to ski again yesterday and i went into the bigger park they finished when i "injured" and the first time i tried it i landed it.
