You need to pick something to look at...and try to keep your focus on that and just rotate around it.

Worst case scenario....you feel yourself turning a bit and have to turn it into an underflip by looking over your shoulder. As long as your head is located on the landing, you'll be fine.

Check out videos i have a go pro edit where i did a few lincolns it will give you an idea what to look at! but i find keeping your eyes on a target is extremely helpful. and i try to avoid carving with lincolns

when you are trying these at first i naturally kept going into underflips. keep your focus on something in the near distance and rotate your body around that. hope thats helps, just commit!
