Step 2 – Going across the hill Before trying a 360 on downhill, learn it by going across the hill. Let’s check the key points that we learned in Step 1. 1. Keep focusing on your center of balance while spinning 2. Knees, hips, and head over the toe edge to pop and spin nicely 3. Pull your hind arm to help rotate hips 4. Rotate and pull your front arm up to keep your body straight 5. Suck up your knees after popping to get more rotation 6. Look at an area 2 meters away from your body to keep your body straight 7. Rotate your eyes 360 degrees while your board rotates 180 degrees To generate a spin on a downhill and park jump you need to lean your body to make an edge angle. So the spin axis leans inside easily and the spin will be messed up. Traversing is the easiest and best way to start learning spinning. It’s because you can make an edge angle without leaning your body while traversing. So you can easily have an edge angle and straight spin axis at same time. Ok! Let’s start with checking your balance on the edge with a pop while traversing. As we learned on the flat ground, try standing straight on the toe edge. So that your head, hips and knees are aligned over the toe edge. It shouldn’t be aligned perfectly, but try having the feeling of having a strong balance over the edge. Check if you are jumping and landing on both feet as well. It’s better if your snowboard keeps carving while jumping. So that your toe-to-heel and nose-to-tail balance are in a good position. You will be good enough even if the edge is sliding, but you will also keep your balance when you pop and land. Now after popping a couple of times, let’s spin a 180 and keep rotating your upper body after landing the 180 and make your nose face forward again. Keep your body straight and pull your hind arm to rotate your hips. Rotate and pull your front arm up high so you can bring your body up and prevent it from leaning forward and over the edge. Rotate your head 360 when you land a 180 so your upper body can keep pulling your hips. Once you get used to it, try spinning a 270 with more pop and suck up your knees. Then make your nose face forward again by keeping your upper body rotation. If your weight is more on your front foot when you pop, try leaning slightly backwards when you pop. Rotating and pulling your front arm up high helps to prevent leaning forward as well. Or you can go back to “spinning 180” + “180 revert on the ground” to check your balance when generating spin. If you can make it constantly then try spinning a 360 with more pop and suck up knees. Let’s check the key points again. 1. Keep focusing on your centered balance while spinning 2. Keep your head, hips and knees over the toe edge to pop and spin nicely 3. Pull your hind arm to help rotate hips 4. Rotate and pull your front arm up to keep your body from leaning 5.
