well i just started doing them a few weeks ago.....i started carving the ramp and i didn't want to just go in a big oval so i decided to do an ally-oop spin to use more of the ramp since i know i'd prolly bail on a swith spin.......i used to be able to do small ally-oop spins but i guess its the bigger distance thats getting me.......

well i gues u know how to do it, to get more distance on an alleyoop air you need to go accross the flatbottom straight and wait until you are on the transition to start carving loads,, but also lean your bodywait towards where u want to go when u get to the top.. i guess i should take my own adice with spins, but it dont work!

i finally did an ally-oop air......it was a small one but i guess it just takes getting used to the feeling of going in that direction.....now i just need to drop-in and things will be alot better......
