You're probably not looking for your landing and just kinda hucking it. Make sure to clear your left should and spot where you want to land. At least that what I was doing wrong when I started doing three. Also, Trick Tip Cult is a great place for this.

ya the icon is awesome.
But i remember when this used to happen to me. I was popping way to early and then i was looking down too much. Remember to pop when your feet leave the kicker... Someone told me to pop later than you'd expect and the amount of control you have is amazing. It worked for me, and don't look down at all, instead, do a straight air, look where you land, and then when you do a 3 on the same jump, try look for where you landed. Hope i helped cuz that was a long explination

just do what you're doing onto a box. why do you need to get good at jumps when you can slay rails anyways? just look at ian compton or andy perry, they cannot jump for shit and they're doing so well for themselves. just realize what you are and deal with what you got, like what danny devito did.

Just practice off little jumps and hits whenever you can, cheat yourself by going into the jump at like a 30-35 degree angle (or as much as you can without fucking it up), you should easily get around to 3. Then just keep at it until you get all the way around without angling your in run... easy enough if you just try man!

yeah, make sure to wind your arms up and use them, if you are spinning left keep your left arm behind your back, this forces you to keep looking all the way around.

Just don't carve into the spin with 270s, pop central and u won't end up coming off early on the box, keep looking at the end of the box as you spot yourself coming round this should help. Also i find sw 270s a lot easier because your not going blind, learn to hit a box switch first though :) With 360s try not to drop your shoulder depending on which way your spinning, keep a strong core and stable base as you hit the end of the lip immediately start rotating and when you spot you landing stomp it !


Safe

all about looking around the shoulders to spot the landing. I find that i just need to get a solid pop and once you get used to looking over your shoulder and holding it the landing comes around pretty easy and from there itj ust gets way easier.

You might be locking your hip with your arms. I had this problem when I learned 360's. Just kiss your shoulder, spot the landing and try to keep your arms somewhat infront of you. (:
