This tip will give you
1. More airtime
2. More time to spot your landing
3. A calmer spin, making it less effort to rotate.
Why? Stand up, try this at home.
1. Stand tall, legs apart as wide as your snowboard stance. Stick your arms out to your sides (you look like maggie simpson in a snow suit). Twist your upper body around as much as you can. Feel how far you're able to twist?
2. Squat down low, so your knees are in you chest, arms out to the side. Twist you upper body around.
3. Notice how much less you're able to twist? Feel how solid your core is tightened up? Your body has become one solid mass, rather than two twisted up parts.
So, when you pop up, suck your knees up to your chest, like you're squating in the air, and you'll have calmer, easier rotations.
Take a look at Jeremy's 360 video- Watch how everything becomes one mass, knees to chest. Check out Chris' frame and the comparison frames from your mid-spins (or mid airs- carly/tessa) to see what your body is doing. Let's see if anyone can tuck tighter than Chris next week...
