    That is the kind of invert that you should be practicing on a trampoline and perhaps in the pool before you hit the park.

    25 feet sounds good with my trampoline experience with that kind of rotation.

    What are u talking about? do you think thats too small? and why the ? i've slammed them off 25-ish ft jumps at the Canyons kiddy park and done them up to 60ft at the bird. The great thing about LL is you dont catch your tips on the snow if u under-rotate, ...just hip-out

    for my first, I just tried to pick out a point to keep my eyes on and rotate with my right shoulder to bring my body around.

    Exhibit A:

    (yeah, I know it looks like I'm about to eat it, but I did land it.)

    Don't need a whole lot of air for this IMO, I did my first off of a wind lip on LL pass. Just make sure that when you rotate your right shoulder you don't extend OUT instead of rotating.
