Landing Jumps

[papa nollie]

I was Snowboarding today at the mountain and I was going off the jumps in the terrain park, but i was having alot of trouble landing, can anyone help me? :confused:

Sure thing, when you go off the jump don't lean back. That's the biggest mistake new boarders make. Pull your legs up to your body and ollie off your tail a little bit just at the top of the jump (lip) to get some extra height.

Make sure to spot your landing and again don't lean back to much ;)

Thanks for your help, I'll try that next time i go up the mountain:D

Ramprage's right....but the biggest miskate new boarders do is to put their weight too much on the front (because we tell them not to put in on their back)....so just try to stay balanced, and you have to land close to the middle of the landing.

and don't land sideways...

make sure when u come down u have lot of room to bend your legs.... u gota absorbb teh shok.... and keep your wait centered.... alos if yer doin a tabletop make sure u can clear it and land on teh landin part

[M_coley1]

Yea totally true...the worst is when you go big but not big enough and you end up landing short of the landing.Not good on the knees at all.

That has happened to me a few times, hurts like a bitch. Also, make sure if ur spinning in the air. You keep on a vertical axis or else you start to flip. I landed on my neck trying a 3 for the first time. THAT HURT A LOT. I learned my lesson though.

That happened to me too...I started doing 360's...and one time I just half flipped, and spinned 540, so I landed backward on my back....huuuuuuuuurts

hey snowboarder whats the biggest spin you can do?

[BoArDeR420]

whats the biggest spin you can do airz.???? i can 5 and ive gottena 7 once but it was REALLY sketchy and kinda an accident... but from what i've seen/heard snowboarder seems awesome

[snowboarder]

It really depends on days......sometimes I can spin some smooth bs or fs 5 roastbeef (I never tryed a 7 though)....... other times I fall trying a simple tailgrab 3.....it also depends on the tabletop/kicker/big air I wanna jump....if the jump's too big...I won't try anything crazy since I wanna live older than 15 yrs old.......But really...I'm not that good at boarding.....I've been practicing snowboarding for like 8 years or so, but last season was my 2nd trying to do jumps and parks and everything.

i dunno like when i did a seven i came around and landed like a little more then sideways and i was so amased i fell on my ass like 5 feet after

i love pulling off that slow 180. Or any slow spins. it helps to do grabs for balancing imho.

[cauterized]

back to the topic, i started 2 days ago and have only been out for like 3 hours each day, and when i ollie off the jump and do no grab i always tend to lean to forward, and if i then think about leaning forward i tend to lean more back. I can land 180s most of the time and i can method and indy fine and always land pretty much perfect but if i go off and do nothing i tend to fall, any helpful suggestions?
