are you landing them. if your landing backseat try to pop more, spot the landing however but find it at 360

carving the lip helps, it makes so you land switch on edge. much more stable then a flat ski

when you come around for the three just keep your head fixed on that landing and bring the 5 around.. after you land look over your shoulder and ride it out or turn around

yes^. don't look over your shoulder. look up the hill. you still have to look at the ground though.

approach the jump with a wide stance, get your spin on, when you are at 3 you spot the landing and keep your eyes on it during the last 180 and just about when you land you straighten up so you get that STOMP and you put your eyes on the top of the landing while you ski down sw rest of the landing..

I just look up the hill, or at the top of the landing, if I try to spot it I go a little off axes

When you pop your spin, make sure you're not corking it out. (if you're having trouble with this, look at the horizon) Keep looking into the spin until you're looking back up the hill. This will help make sure you get the rotation. When you land switch, make sure and bend your knees and don't lean too far forward. Start small and work your way up.
