are your rotating your head all the way around?   Your body and legs follow where your head goes.

Had this problem for a while. Just look over your shoulder, your body will follow where your head goes.

Try spinning a 360 on the ground or the trampoline without skis.

going from 180 to 360 was one of the hardest things about skiing for me but after you can 360 all the other spins are just about throwing harder

pretty much just do it on a jump your only gonna get like 2 feet of air off of.  dont think about the consequences, just ride up, prewind your arms like crazy and throw it.  and by the way remember to pop- thats the thing i kept forgetting to do when i was learning

just keep trying, eventually you'll get all the spins down super well and look back and wonder how you ever couldn't do it. trust me, happens to everyone
