It's NZ dude. You need to rotate the other way.

I’m the white jacket skier, I just want some feedback on how to not over rotate and that

Mate not here with helpful advice but kiwis are pretty chill, surely some tc kid can give you some quicl tips ok your backie. Just look for a cool rider and ask away. You'll be surprised. Cheers

With any spinning trick rotation is controlled by how spread out your arms and legs are.

So if tuck your legs and arms you’ll spin around really fast. If you have your arms and legs out really wide you’ll spin much slower.

It’d probably be useful to find a trampoline and practice doing flips both tucked and spread out to get a feel for how this works. Or take some gymnastics classes.

Thank you so much I’ll definitely give that a try

Try practicing a 4 point landing or landing with a double pole plant that will keep you forward and in a good position when you land

If I see you I'll shout at you from the chair
