How to

Step by step
  1. On a gentle slope, ride straight at a slow, steady speed—just fast enough not to stall.

    Plan to spin backside (toward your back, i.e. the toe edge). Bend both knees to about 120 degrees and keep your eyes down the slope.

  2. Just before you pop, pre-wind only your upper body (shoulders and arms) slightly in the opposite direction of the spin while your lower body stays facing forward.

    This wound-up tension is what feeds the rotation.

  3. As you push off the toe edge and pop, snap that wound-up upper body back to start the spin.

    All the spinning power is set at the moment you leave the snow—you can't add more in the air.

  4. Once airborne, pull both arms and knees in toward your center and make yourself compact.

    The tighter you tuck, the faster you spin on the same power, so you reach the end of the rotation sooner.

  5. A normal spin finishes facing forward, but a blind spin stops just short—while your back is still pointing down the slope.

    Send your eyes ahead to where the rotation ends, and use your shoulders to check over-rotation.

  6. Land with the board flat across the slope and absorb the impact with both knees bent.

    Since you can't see your landing, replace your eyes with your shoulders: keep your shoulder line parallel to your direction of travel to square up the board.

Tips

All the spinning power is set in the instant you pop. Swinging your arms in the air adds nothing, so focus on the pre-wind before takeoff and the snap at the moment you leave the snow.

COMMON MISTAKE

Board enters at an angle and catches an edge on landing → You're coming down with shoulders still open to your direction of travel. Finish the spin by tucking arms and knees in the air, square your shoulder line parallel to your travel direction, then land flat.
