Strategy for learning unnatural spins

Remember how you learned your natural spins, then do the same the other way around.

Start small and build up. Seems obvious, but by doing a bunch of right 180s and slowly hitting larger features you’ll build confidence. Then start with small 3s and so in

I had a pretty interesting learning curve with my unnatty spins. When I was first experimenting I generally had a similar experience. Thinking back I was intimidated by the idea of spinning to the right and would try to rush the rotation and just get it over with, which resulted in a botched take-off and a washed out landing. However once I got over the idea of spinning my unnatural direction, I found it easier to focus on the fundamentals of the trick because I was so unfamiliar with the muscle movements. It gives you a chance to really think through the steps, and not just do what feels 'normal'.

Try to break down and really accentuate what you're doing. Approach the jump with a strong athletic stance, carve into your set and be conscious of rising up the take-off and timing your pop so that you're really maximizing your extension off the lip. Don't just huck and look for the landing, really imagine your self jumping up to your apex, then spotting the landing and then falling out of the trick to complete the rotation. You have to trust that by setting the trick nice and patient you'll have plenty of time in the air to stay composed and make adjustments if needed.

Just keep practicing and it will come. As I mentioned I had similar issues as well, but now my unnatural cork 3's are probably more proper than my natural ones. Hope this helps haha

I can hold my own in the park but I suck big time on right side spinning. Rails are OK as long as there's no unnatural spinning onto the rail, sw unnat lips are out of the question as well.

Been feeling a dip in ski stoke the last month and figured learning the procrastinated unnatural spinning maybe would juice it up. However, I'm not entirely sure how to approach this. I've done some right 3's and 5's a couple of years ago but at the moment it seems impossible. Most often I get into a weird cork axis that will make me land like this leaning ( " / " ) and backseat. If I were to try on bigger jumps I would probably land on my hip.

Got any tips on how to go about learning spins in the unnatural direction?
Should I go for a power-hour approach?

Sorry for the shitpost, could really need some advice tho.

First post!!!!

You gotta land on your hip / only way... NS can’t ski 4 u

Usually spinning unnat people will close their shoulders. To make it kinda fun do tricks with lead mute.

To force opening your shoulders, do lead tail. Also it is fun to start your spins with a pole plant, it forces the initial set.

Also, you just gotta do a million right side spins. Think about how many left 360s you have done in your life. Switch unnat lip is a mental block, go do 100 and you will be fine after
