keep looking over your shoulder and try not to stop rotating your upper body at 3. soundsd like your getting ready to land a lil early. try to prepare around 450

yeah it's because you're spotting the landing before you're finished the three. try to spot it when you're already rotated past a three, so look over yoru shoulder for alittle longer

I had the same problem when I was learning them, you just have to concentrate in the air on keeping looking over your shoulder. The first time I landed, I was still trying to turn.

It's mostly a question of committing. If you really, really want that extra rotation, your body will give it to you. Going a bit bigger will probably help too, it's good to have a bit more time to rotate. And try setting the spin a bit harder as you come off the lip.

like people said, its about committing. You might be having trouble committing cause you are scared of landing switch. I would recommend doing some 1s over it first to get a feel for it.
