just pop a little harder and set your spin so you can get it around to land switch or however you plan on throwing it

comin around threw the 3 you spot your landing, turn it around, stomp it and rock that fly ride away

once you've spun the 3 spot your landing and then just let the rest of your body turn the last 180 so you land looking over your shoulder. you don't really even need to spin that much faster i'd actually just take a little more speed into it so you have more air time.

pop a bit more and when you set with your arms through them strainght across and not up or down

remember its only 180 more

also keep forward pressure from your boots on your shins coming into the jump
hope it helps

always keep your head looking over your leading shoulder. this not only helps you spot your landing, but also helps you keep your momentum. when you go to look the other way, your shoulders will tend to follow it making you do a crazy upper body shiftys, resulting in 300 to deaths. bring your feet up to gives you more time to land

just keep lookin over your shoulder like your running from tha police and you've got an ounce of blow taped to your nut sack when you get to about 360 and you should come around clean
