I notice when I spin mostly 360s and 270 ons that I usually fall back a bit and land them back seat or on my side.

How do I flatten out my spin so I don't land leaning backwards?

thnx

use your legs, not just your arms.

I had the same problem on my switch 5's. I just crouched a bit more going up to the lip, and now they are fine.

SPOT OUT - it works, keep your head up, your probably getting lazy and looking down/leaning back or looking for your landing too early

Shin Pressure. You want your weight to be on your toes and pushing as hard as you can on the front of your boots, but don't hunch your upper body forward. And keep your hands forward on takeoff and landing.

look at the horizon and pop harder, and dont go off leaning back.

have your weight over your toe piece and have a wide stance and dont trow your head back when you spin

if you have to set your rotation with your arms make sure that you dont swing your arms up or down at all. the slightest direction will make you land backseat. you just have to make sure your come directly across your body and you look over your shoulder.

it's the exact opposite for me, I can do 3's off big jumps perfect but when I try em off little jumps on like the side of runs and shit I always land a bit backseat
