go bigger, so you don't have to spin as fast.
also try putting your hands in front of you and not swinging your arms, spin your whole uper body and turn your head big times, going of axis is usaly because you hucking to hard...

make sure you are popping off the lip and not huking it right off the jump cause that won't let you have much control of your spin in the air

you might be like me when i first started spinning, you might be trying to spin like you'd carve and are leaning back, just wait untill you're almost completly off the kicker and turn your body.

throw the spin with your ass, not your head. and don't lean bakc and let the hit kick you as you pop and spin.

it sounds like you need to hit the jump with some pressure on the front of your boots and your shins. really feel the front of your boots on your legs. and this has helped a lot of people on my home mountain.

Ok, here's my tip. When looking over your shoulder on 360s, look a little cownwards over your shoulder. It worked beautifully for me. When I'd go straight over my shoulder, it'd pull me back... So I counter it by looking kinda downwards over my shoulder.

lead with your shoulders and head. once you can see the landing the rest of your body will get itself there

What everyone has said should help you but since it seams your your corking it a bit you should just try to go with it. Corked threes gots more style.

throw your arms straight across your chest and also try to pick your head up and look out at the horizon just as you leave the lip...dont look down your on a weird angle cuz it will throw your whole body off axis

Pop off your tips. last eyar iw as spinnin all off axis then a friend said pop off your tips and i did it. It feels so much easier and smoother. If all else fails just try to go off axis or try corks. like an off axis 360 safety looks sweet.

Just to tell all you guys you can't just learn of axis 3 like that, it takes soo much more skill to do a cork 3 then like a cork 5 or 7. you need to learn to carve spin and go like 6 times bigger then a regular 3 so i wouldn't recompend trying to learn them before u can even land a 3...
