alright i wanna throw these so bad. ive done them before in the past but im debating if i should go for 5s first or 7s first. i can spin anything no problem so rotations are nothing for me but it just seems a little wierd on throwin them. should i carve to throw it or just kind of pop back and throw my weight back a bit?

start with a 7 its a more natural rotation, then just make sure that you don't throw it back too hard more like even with the lip, and you ahve to make sure to stop looking at the landing at 3 or you will land on your head, thats what happens to me anyway.

after you have set the rotation right after poping and looking at the lip where should your eyes be looking, straight left or down left or upper left corner of your eye??? or whatever?

Wow you think about shit too much, just set the spin, and flow though the spin, spot the landing and stomp.

carving into the lip will usually set you cork right off the bat. otherwise, when you throw your spin, instead of looking over your shoulder, look lower.

kinda I kinda don't look anywhere, I guss I sort of look at the lip, then at 180 catch the ground then just kinda let it go till 5 and then I look over my shoulder for landing

in your head, you think to lean back after you pop, but my friend who is nasty at park says it's way easier if you punch your hands forward down towards your toes as you pop and tuck it up.
At the end of last season I started corking 5's a little hit just by popping and grabbing saftey while leaning back going off the lip and they just kind of come around, but they wernt real corked soo...

Go faster then noral and just lean and drag your hand a little and stay at the anle of the lip, it looks cool that way.
