yo so i can do threes on this small 15ft jump and i will either end up doing like 450 or wicked backseat, and I have taken it to a bit bigger jump and its mainly overrotation, how can i slow down my rotation or keep balanced and stuff

Just slow everything down. Concentrate on getting a good set and pop, and putting in a grab is a really good way to keep everything smooth and composed while you're in the air. A 15 foot 360 and a 60 foot 360 are no different aside from being in the air longer.

yeah i was doing some mutes over the 15footer and that slowed it down but i just wasnt balling up my 3s enough so that was putting me off axis but in the park we have 2 jumps that 30 footer which will be in the slopestyle and like a 25 footer so ill work on it and maybe enter the comp if i am feelin it

For me, I find it helps if I concentrate on popping, then setting the spin after I have popped. Just experiment with different things and you'll get it

Where ever your head goes your body goes. dont even wind up off the jump and just keep looking over your shoulder.

Dont freak out about being blind in the air. When you get to the lip, wind up just a little bit (too much wind will make you go back seat and over rotated) , just pop, relax, and keep looking over your shoulder. Pretty much what everyone else said, slow every thing down a bit and dont over think it.
