Im tryin to do my first 7, but it feels so natural to stop at 540, so thats what i always end up doing. How do i get over this?

i can only do them on big jumps, and i have a similar problem, i tend to slow alot at 540. Just throw your shoulders a little harder than 540 and keep ur head looking in the dirrection ur spinning. Try to keep yourself in a good curled up rotation and just open up as ur second spin comes around. Grabbing also keeps ur spin smooth

it's a lot easier and more fun on a big jump. spot at 360 and figure out where you're going, then turn your head, tuck up and keep going.



my level of radness... it just can't... be quantified.

yo, just comite, i landed my first 7 today 2, they not hard, i had to do one of a mogul jump and thats like twice as hard as a regular jump. anyways, just commmite to it, spin fast and in your head say you can do it, then you will. and keep your head up so you dont land backseat

i learned them a couple weeks ago, if you set a hard rotation and just stayed tucked until you spot the lander after 5 u should probly be all set

Just keep your head turned.

If it feels natural to stop at 540, when u pop off the lip and u begin ur rotation throw ur arms around to speed up ur rotation. As u get more and more used to landing the 7 stop throwing ur arms through and u shouldn't have a problem stopping at 5.

just visualize it and throw the spin, and keep looking for your landing, just see it at three real quick then look over shoulder for landing and bam stomp that shit

i find it best to take reverse safety if you're spinning left, before i thought that i landed backseat all the time but it keeps me in good balance and my spinning is smoother

its all in your mind, if you think 540 then another 180 your most likly gonna stop around 5 and die. think 720 and keep spinning. its a whole different feeling then a 3 or a 5 and a trick in its own so try that.

just keep the head looking into the spin...keep you shoulders into your spin also...it'll just happen if your confident
