Twister

Twister-
    Skis are turned 90’s to the direction of travel and the upper-body stays facing forward.

HOW-TO
    Go find a nice jump that you’re comfortable with. Do a straight air to get warmed up then go for it. Assume the position and pop off the lip. Don’t initiate the twister until you’re in the air after take-off. Start the twister too early and it will become a half-twisting mess. Once in the air, turn your skis 90 degrees to the direction you’re traveling. At the same time, swing your head, shoulders, and arms in the opposite direction. This will help you maintain balance in the air and keep you from spinning. Untwist into your original position and land. Piece of cake! Now try twisting the other way.

Wanna push the envelope? Try a double twister. Twist one direction then immediately twist the other way. Finally land and ski away with pride.
