Turning a Flat 5 into a flat 7

I've got flat 5's down pretty well (actually my only off-axis trick so far). The first couple times I threw them I spun them to 7 and fell over backwards, decided to try a 5 and it worked.
How can I turn it into a 7 on purpose now.

Here's a pic of how I threw them soon after learning (not a good one, but only sequence I got)

Um im guessing right after your apex just do an arials style punch to your left speeding up your rotation and just visualize that 7.

throw it like a flat 5 but drop your head to your shoulder  i believe.

ps. do it on a bigger jump

I learned them on a much bigger and better jump, but they were dicking around with the good park for a comp. the day I brought my camera.

And I don't see how dropping my head will help. I'm thinking just spin faster.
I'll have to wait 'till I get to another good jump to try.

Spin left, lean right.
Honestly you just have to drop a shoulder hard enough and you're bound to land something.

Spin left, lean right. I like that I may just steel that from ya if ya dont mind.

any way to make that sick flat 5 of yours an off the hook 7. Dont lock your vision on the landing
at 5 keep looking past it to 7. plus at the take off think 7 not 5 dont even open up untill your past 5. But know this young grass hopper "to take a flippy spinny trick and make it 7 one must first know that it may go 9)

To the guy above me, a flatspin IS a non-inverted rodeo.

a flat spin is like the homer dance where hes running in a circle on his side. a kangaroo flip is a FLAT SPIN 9. im not sure if its a non inverted rodeo though
