Getting off balance when I spin

When I spin I always get off balance and land in the backseat. Somehow I correct myself in the air when I do 540s and I can do a 5 way easier than a 3 and with 7s im lucky if I can land it.

lean forward, pop, then spin.
if you starting to lean cork a little bit while you spin you should try to make sure that you shoulders are square the entire trick.

can you elaborate on pop then spin cause when you say that i imagine someone jumping, pausing, then trying to spin.

any other tips?

what i meant is just that you should make sure that you are getting a solid pop off the jump and now just spinning hard and carving of the jump because that will start to throw you a tiny bit cork.
so make sure you not trying to spin before you build your pop.
does that make sense?
