maybe wait that extra millisecond before you start your spin. and don't forget to pop. if you don't pop and just try to slide off the jump your nose's will catch. so yea, spin later and pop.

wait longer to start spining.  it also helps to carve a little off the take off

yea i have been trying both of those and i havent caught in awile.    but i am still scared shitless of it happening on the big jumps.      and also how do i get more spin because i seem to be like spinning like a 3 and my skis are lagging way behind and i do like a shifty in it  (that i dont wanna do).    i cant spin smoothly.

As mentioned wait longer, pop well.  I think the biggest thing though is to carve into it if you have the speed to do so.  If you're spinning left, carve to your right (viewed as carving left from people behind you), and pop off of your right edges.  Make sure your stance is staggered- your right ski tip should be higher uphill than your left ski tip.

yeah carving on the lip is key cause it really helps to get enough pop

to keep your legs and body going at the same speed flex your abs. this makes your core more rigid, and they will move at a more similar speed. also, follow through with your hips
