720 Snow Ski Trick

Video Transcript

"So the trick that I am going to be walking you guys through now is the 720. A 720 is two complete rotations around so you are going to be spinning around twice and landing forward again. I am not going to do any ground with it just to show you guys the spin but for this one you are going to want to set a little bit faster and just like with the 360 you are going to want to go with your head and keep looking around. Like I said before wherever your head goes, that is where your body is going to want to go. Since this jump is a little bit slow I am going to go a little fast and land a little further down the landing but you are going to want to set the same way you are going a 360 but wrap it a little bit harder so your body can make around for the 720. Okay so you want to drop exactly the same but I'm going to set a little harder. If you noticed right there, I had to wrap my body a little bit harder just because this jump is a little smaller and if the jump were a little bit bigger you would not need to wrap as hard and you can throw in a grab. You can grab your skis, you can slow the spin down a little bit. For smaller jumps or if you are first learning them try it on a smaller jump and just wrap your body with it just so you can learn the rotation and get comfortable with it and when you are coming around for the last 360 so you are at 720 you are just going to want to come and spot just like you were for a 360 and put your feet back down and just ride off to the side like you would before and that is how you do a 720."
