| Most of the rotation is in the upper body. You must keep the muscles in your body tight while in the air, especially your legs. Figure out which way it is that you feel more comfortable rotating. While approaching the jump wind your upper body the opposite way of the way you are going to rotate. A lot of people make the mistake of doing a little prewind the other way before the do the wind up. This throws your weight way off balance. When you reach the lip of the jump unwind your body. Keep your head looking over your shoulders until you spot your landing then stop moving your and if you kept your leg muscles tight they will follow. Remember that the upper body leads every thing else. |
