360?

[tihkal]

how do you approach a jump if you want to do a rotational move. and then what motions do you go thru to complete an airborne rotatoin?

[snowboarder]

well it depends, if you wanna do a small rotation like a 360, I suggest you do it backside, and you should approach the jump a bit on your toes. When you're in the air, just try to keep yourself balanced and not land on edges. Practice it on smaller jumps before trying it on big airs.

Almost carve into the jump. That way you can get your rotation going. Be sure to start twisting your head while you are going off the kicker. Once you have spotted your landing and want to stop spinning, just stop twisting your neck and your body will follow.

im just talkin small rotation to start out. twist ur neck?!?!?!??????

[iamflameboy]

wouldnt it be the same as in sk8ing... twist your shoulders and then your hips will follow...

[BoArDeR420]

if ur doing it backside, launch off of ur toes and swing ur shoulders. ur body will start to follow. after that keep looking over ur right shoulder (if ur regular, left if goofy) and watch for the landing to come in ur veiw. once the landings there and ur straight keep loking at it and stop looking over ur shoulder. land smooth and ride away

[tihkal]

so if you wanted a quick fast rotation you would have to twist ur shoulders really hard?

[BoArDeR420]

before u go off the jump wind ur body the opposite way of the spin. the quiker u unwind, the faster the rotation.



i had forgot that part lol

[joyman2]

kinda like what boarder420 said if your doing it frontside kneel on your toe edge when reaching the lip when you coming off the lip it'll help you get your spin easier

[fliptrickmaster]

rotate ur shoulders

[fliptricksk8er]

what d u think?

[Ephieboy14]

start twisting ur shoulders and ur body will follow

[mr_demon]

wind up an have ur head facing backwards as ur coming off the lip (when ur doing b/s rotations)

[fliptrickmaster]

carv into the ramp

[NIGhtMAre]

wouldnt you go flying off it at an angle if you carv into it?

[Flip Boy]

LOL yeah, I would say same as you would on a skateboard, but yeah twist your neck round and swing your arms, all that crap..

[NIGhtMAre]

heh that would be funny to watch somebody fly off centre and into some woods :D

[mr_demon]

maybe u'll get a chance yet, i'm making a video with my dad

[NIGhtMAre]

does your dad snowboard?

[mr_demon]

no, he skis, but it'll probably be just stationery shots anyway cause he hasn't had much practice with the camera, still he's the most enthusiastic of us to want to make a video

[sk8withtheforce]

sounds like some fun.

Another thing to keep in mind, when you launch off the jump its best to look in front of you to spot your landing, if you rotating blindside especially because you cant really see where your going, also keep in mind that a slow rotation looks better than a fast one, but dont spin slow enough to have to revert yourself around the rest of the spin when you land.

[big_hair_pimpin]

all comes down to just wind up/.

[Spanky rox]
