first spin ever...! :o

[niklaswik]

Hey,

I've never done any spins at all because I've been scared to get hurt (silly me..) , but today I did my first 180 (and a few more after that.. :) plus a few fakie 180's) in a tiny jump that I've made at home.. :)

Felt pretty nice to finally do it.. :)
Absolutely no style at all, but who cares...

Hmm, but I don't think I'll have the guts to do any spins in the bigger jumps though... :(

Well well, who knows.. Maybe when I get REAL skiboards (think I'll order Mix fusion or BWP soon) I feel more confident.. :)

congrats keep it up! just take someone to shove u down and over the jump, it normally works! :)

Haha, thanks for the tip.. :D

Maybe I'll do that.. ;)

EDIT:
Oops, just realized I should have written this in the "Skiboarding" forum, sorry.. I was sure I did that, but apparently not.. :D

congrats on learning spins dude! Beleive me, the bigger you go, the more fun it is! so keep learning!

Remember to learn 180s and get real comfy with ever spin before you move onto harder stuff.... It's alot more fun when your totally enjoying yourself through the whole trick!

Take it easy dude

its also so much more fun when you can take bigger jumps and slow your spins way down

[niklaswik]

yeah I'll go bigger and bigger as I get more confident.. So hopefully I'll do the real big ones in spring. Depends on how much riding I do this winter, not sure it will be that much though.. :( But I hope!

Hehe, I can imagine how wonderful it must feel to spin reeeeeaaaally slow... :) I had to spin at like 300mph to get around 180° in my little (and I mean LITTLE! will post a picture of it some day..) jump. It's like 2 feet high and I have about 5 meters of slope to get enough speed... :D :D
