Answer 1

whats up corkyscrew spinny fun,

Ok, so always remember that the body follows the head, so whatever trick or spin you do, turn your head that way first. Then look for your landing, and your body will hopefully stop spinning and land the trick for you.

If you want to corkscrew a spin, use your shoulders. For instance, if you want to corkscrew a backside three 360 or five 540, throw your front shoulder down when you come off the jump. That’ll help you get corked.

The key to not getting thrown off-balance is to come off the jump right. Jump around all the time so you get used to being in the air. Repetition is key.

I usually try to put all my weight on my toes when landing switch so I don’t butt-check. If you find yourself constantly landing on your butt or spinning around forward after landing, try leaning on your toes and bending your legs like Jamie Lynn. The biggest thing is practice.

Another trick to getting the weight differential right is making sure you’re on a long enough board and have a good stance-width. I ride about a 21-inch stance, and I’m just about centered. This makes it easier to land backward and forward. I hope this will help!!  Oh yeah, most importantly...have fun, smile alot and keep a positive attitude when trying new tricks, it really does help :)
