For backside rotations, I ollie off the tail; but for frontside rotations, I've found that popping a bit off the nose (nollie) helps more. I don't know why, but having more weight over my front foot helps with frontside rotations.]]> Thu, 08 Mar 2012 16:13:11 +0000 http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42852&PID=1167648#1167648 Frontside rotating : definitely will check it out SnowJ from... http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42852&PID=1167276#1167276 Author: JAMM0N

definitely will check it out SnowJ

from my perspective when heading towards the jump

for a backside, never started doing frontside for some odd reason.

but anyways go from heel then toe then jump and rotate (still hard to say which part rotates first) and when i land i should be riding switch, but i have to ride away clean like MTpow said in order to be a successful landing]]> Wed, 07 Mar 2012 17:12:57 +0000 http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42852&PID=1167276#1167276 Frontside rotating : Originally posted by JAMM0Ni... http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42852&PID=1166875#1166875 Author: snowj720

Totally, just because a thread isn't from this week doesn't make it any less valid.  I don't sit and stare at the screen all day waiting for a new thread to get posted, a lot of them can get past.  Shouldn't mean you can't put your two cents in on the topic.  Besides, I didn't see an expiration date on the threadLOL
 
 The forums are here so we can learn from each other and share our perspectives and experiences.  If we can't do that then there's no point in having the forums on here.
 
 
As far as the topic goes of spins though.  I'll say it time and time again- snowboardaddition.com
 
I'm waiting for my testies to drop so I can try rotations off bigger jumps, but watching the SA vids on spinning (and all the other toots) have helped me big time.  I can do 3's off smaller hits (or like today, off the side of a huge booter), and it's all due to SA.  I'd been trying 3's with no success for a couple seasons, then I watched the videos and found out about counter rotation, setup carving, and building a solid edge going into the spin.  Check 'em out, well worth it.

If you read it more carefully, it seems as if he is saying that he can't quite get them down on jumps yet.  Jumps are not the only thing one needs to do a 180, 360, or even 540s.  Also, if one can get the rotation down but is having issues ONLY with the landing due to lack of practice in switch riding, they are still doing everything else correct.  Also, it sounds as if he is having issues getting the landing down perfect every time.  You have guys that go 1 for 10 and others that go 10 for 10.  Both can do the trick, one is simply more CONSISTENT than the other.  That's what separates guys like us from the pros.  As MD said YOU LOSE.  So stop being a clusterfuck, sit your ass down, and shut your mouth.

my brain works exactly the same way as the OP: 

backside spins are easy enough for me that I don't even really have to think about doing them. 

With frontside spins, I have to quickly plan everything out in my head, depending on the size/angle of the jump....and I still frequently land with a feeling of being out of control.  Unlike BS, on FS I have to think about my set-up turn/arm wind-up, how much edge I'm digging into the lip and where my head is going to face throughout the spin.

What I learned from the snowboard addiction video is your keep you head facing forward the entire time on a FS1 (unlike a BS1, where you basically land facing backwards..."blind"). What I learned on my own is to go easy on the edge (unlike BS, where the edge isn't as critical).  Going easy on the edge keeps the board stable/flatter in the air, so you don't land as weird.

easy on edge + face forward = FS1]]> Tue, 06 Mar 2012 09:30:58 +0000 http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42852&PID=1166770#1166770 Frontside rotating : Originally posted by JAMM0Nlook... http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42852&PID=1166763#1166763 Author: Alkasquawlik

To turn frontside you have to approch the jump with your heel edge.

Just pop or ollie your board and start rotation with all your body: head, arms and shoulders. You have to rotate as you would be a block that can be contrarotated...

Always take account on the landing...

Best advice I cangive you if you are having problems grabbing - bring the board to YOU. Too many riders try to reach with their arms for a grab, its much easier to just suck up your knees and then your board is right there. That way, you dont have to bend at the waist as much.]]> Tue, 10 Jan 2012 06:46:21 +0000 http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42852&PID=1144811#1144811 Frontside rotating : Originally posted by snow43when... http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42852&PID=1118098#1118098 Author: Angry Midget Yo

You do know that frontside is blind, not backside, right?


A front 3 landing is "blind", a 1 is not.

Anyway. Try practicing front 1's on flatground focusing on jumping off your heel edge with both feet at the same time. Once you seem to get the full movement and comfort of jumping off your heel edge take it to small rollers on the mountain and then small drop offs. Keep in mind you wont have to spin nearly as hard as flat ground, it should be somewhat floaty, especially on bigger airs - there isn't much wind on 1's.

Once you get it down by popping off both feet at the same time try adding a little bit of pop by loading your board just a bit and get comfortable with that. Grabbing mute might help a bit as well.

Pre Wind!
 
a few people have said it but not really explained it
 
to put it simply you are winding your body ready to release when you pop, you pre wind mainly with your arms so imasgine you are holding your back hip with your front hand, so for regular hold your right hip with your left hand and have your right arm pointing out behind you, have your legs bent and when you pop you pretty much release and wrench yourself around which helps you rotate
 
you can also start the rotation early by takign off heel side or toe sdie depending on rotation and look where your going because your body follows your head.
 
to practice pre winding i cruised around and did nose rolls which are a fun little trick and can snap a few necks if people are just cruising along.

I learned them very early on by riding natural half pipes and spinning 180 (which is like a 360 on a pipe wall)  It's makes it really easy and you can get the feel of it.  ]]> Fri, 14 Jan 2011 13:54:56 +0000 http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42852&PID=956148#956148 Frontside rotating : Originally posted by nixonowThats... http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42852&PID=956135#956135 Author: Goldberg13

Whether you are popping off flat ground or off a lip try to carve just a little on your heel edge and pop outward with your spin. Remember to make sure your shoulders are leading the spin that should help alot also.

Also, pay attention to your edges as you jump. I have a tendency to want to jump like I would in basketball, which means getting a lot of power from my calves and ultimately heading off my toes. It means grabbing toeside off your back leg and killing your rotation. Try to ensure you're somewhat edge neutral when you pop to help utilize your momentum fully. ]]> Fri, 14 Jan 2011 13:33:51 +0000 http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42852&PID=956130#956130 Frontside rotating : turn ur head where you wanna go... http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42852&PID=956115#956115 Author: Mandiiella

if your doing a fs 360, turn your hips before the jump so your starting to rotate and then push on your shoulder to get the 360 rotation]]> Fri, 14 Jan 2011 13:11:22 +0000 http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42852&PID=956114#956114 Frontside rotating : Use yo arms! http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42852&PID=956109#956109 Author: Maximus

Lead with your shoulders and get a little pre wind up become you get up.. That's what I usually Try to do. Just practice on flat ground to start ]]> Mon, 13 Dec 2010 11:10:51 +0000 http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42852&PID=929333#929333 Frontside rotating : Thats funny because the majority... http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42852&PID=929327#929327 Author: nixonow

Thats funny because the majority of riders would find doing frontside 180's/360's to be easier than learning backside because you aren't spinning blindly.

Whether you are popping off flat ground or off a lip try to carve just a little on your heel edge and pop outward with your spin. Remember to make sure your shoulders are leading the spin that should help alot also.]]> Mon, 13 Dec 2010 11:05:01 +0000 http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42852&PID=929327#929327 Frontside rotating : I am a intermediate level rider... http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42852&PID=928395#928395 Author: motoxninja80

I am a intermediate level rider and have been looking to learn tricks for when I'm free riding on the mountain. I can do backside 180s and 360s pretty well, but, (this is probably somewhat of a stupid question) I don't know how in the world to rotate frontside. Whenever I try to do frontside 180s i either can't pop at all and I just do a revert, or somehow I pop and I barely rotate at all and catch my front edge. I'm not exactly sure what I'm doing wrong so any advice you can give me would be much appreciated. thank you]]> Sun, 12 Dec 2010 09:12:51 +0000 http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42852&PID=928395#928395
