Anyone know how to get the spin for a rodeo? i got backlfips n spins down but i dont understand how to do both on skis?

I'm not really sure, I'll try and find out for you though.

I just worry about keeping upright on the skis! I have not tried to do any acrobatics at all, I don't see myself doing that!

Last time I tried doing a sideflip i fractured my elbow.

Gilipsie

Are you serious? See those are the reasons why I don't do all that extra stuff because I am so afraid to get hurt or break something. Well I have broken my nose but I'm not into hurting to learn.

Sparky

Yeah, I attempted a sideflip, I tried landing on my arms, but my right elbow just twisted and I found out in Hospital it was fractured.

Gillipsie

im not sure if this is the right place to inquire about cowboy activities

you basically Go off the jump, rotate to almost back flip and add a twist, kinda like a corksscrew. its a lincoln + a 180. you can try throwing ur right arm over your head to the left and your left arm around your back to the right and spinning with it. its hard to explain, just try it. if you sit in front of a computer askig people but never have the guts to try it youll never get anywehere. dont let fear get to you.

Reading this thread makes me thankful I have never broken a bone doing anything. Condolences to those who have.

well, i can't do one but i ahve seen a lot of people who have. i think, basically, you just wind up as you come to the jump, and as you go off, (if spinning left), throw your right shoulder to your left knee. and the rest should just fall into itself
