These were some of my first rodeo 5 attempts from today. First one was more of a speed issue but the second 2 just didn't come around right. Just looking for some tips on what to try differently for when I try these again. Thanks

Try to keep your skis together like 2 french fries. I know it's gay but that will help a lot. Your not bailing out which is good- try to keep your body as tight and compact as possible and keep doing what your doing.
For future reference, put your questions in the trick tip cult. They can help you a lot more there than here.

set with your hips more think about opening your hips to the sky and then swing your legs around

^that's good advice.

Also try pulling your head around and spotting. This opens up your body and brings it around better and you can pull it down as well.

to me it appears your are flipping a little fast because you are opening up huge and kind of flopping into your landing.  Really look to you landing as you come around and try to grab safety to help yourself keep it together for the landing.

Lean back a tiny bit more on that take off, you are really close to stomping that with some practice!  It's not a flat 5, but if you flip a hair more it will be a perfect rodeo.  Right now you are in between.
