nope, just throw it like a 360 but dont try to stop yourself forward, just keep spinning till you see the jump again. It takes some practice and you might want to try them of a slightly larger jump. For more information try the searchbar

yes, spin them even harder and hit even bigger jumps. its all just about keeping your eyes peeled and stopping the rotation when you need to

just set your spin harder, i haven't gotten a 5 yet either but when i was trying em, i set my spins a lot harder and got at least to 450 everytime. i prob need a bigger jump though.

Basically go faster, and huck harder. Don't stop at a three and keep looking up-hill.

It ghelps if you try and break it down, just imagine it as a 3 with a 1 on the end if that makes any sense

make sure you dont throw it with just your arms, use your upper body and especially the head.

if you try throwing with your arms youll notice a quick rotation and then an almost instant stop in rotation. make sure you set your spin rather then trying to make a quick twist by throwing your arms. then just spot your landing at the 3, but instead of untucking and getting ready to land keep your legs rotating. soon as you spot your landing youll be able to see it for the rest of the rotation

If you stop turning your head your body will stop turing then you wont beable to do a 5 so just keep turning your head..

watch out for trying to keep your head spun.. because you will land forward and your head will be staring at the jump.. ITLL FREAK YOU OUT

you just throw it like a 360, just a little harder depending on the jump spinning with you're hips and shoulders, make sure that you look over you're shoulder the entire time.

just lead with your head
it is the same for every spin, just keep looking for it until you are done the rotation

do you do 3's a lot? because if so your probably used to spotting your landing after a certain part of your rotation and its just like habit you cant get over. try it on a small jump on a soft day, and just spin yourself not caring where/how you land, just get used to spinning past 360

dude any spin on skis is the same, you just have to throw it harder. you probably just stop looking over your shoulder at 360, the key is commitment... once you get the hand of spinning you'll learn them shits realy quick. I learned 5's 7's and 9's in the same weekend

yeah! commiting is key, just huck and throw down, and dont bail out after you already start rotating, bad idea

^ yea you just have to tell yourself that you'll hurt yourself more if you dont commit to it, then committing is easy. try and turn the part of your brain off that says, uh oh this is a bad idea i could hurt myself BLAHBLAHBLAH. and just do the trick.
