i can land 5s consistently, but when i go for a 7 i either get to 540 630 and land all sketch and crash, or i just mess up and go all corked right off the lip and dont get past a 3.
any advice anyone?

throw straight. Make sure you are straight. Do it off a big enough jump, and just keep looking around.

when you're setting your spin, do it from your hips instead of your arms or shoulders. you'll get more rotation that way and the bigger the jump the easier it is to get it around and stomp.

I've been taught to spin with my head, then shoulders. It keeps me a lot more flat and I have more control over how I go off axis and such.

throw your head/shoulders, or hips, if you learned like that hard. at a 540, kinda extend your arms and legs and start to spot your landing.

if you can do a 5, just bump up your jump and keep your head around and be super still in mid air.  Flail and fail, itll uncork your body and you<eat<shit

atleast 720 falls look dope because its a ballsy spin if your on the right jump -then you get the pussy
