-1 cm shouldn't make a huge difference. Make sure to pop off the take off and keep your arms up at your chest when you're trying to keep 3s on axis.

there is no such thing as mathematical center. Skis have 2 centers: weight and length. -1 mean 1cm behind length center.

Why cant you land a 360 now? You have never done it correctly since day 1. The fact or backing you 1cm back will shorten considerably the tail length. The tail will have less support, throwing you backseat and making pivot very easy.

The only thing you can really do is lean on tongues of your boots more off the takeoff, and also make sure you are spinning after the end of the takeoff, because your skis are longer in the back and if you spin on the jump you will go off axis, and land backseat

I think it's in your head, man. Just do one off some tiny little side hit to get the feel of doing one again.

I had that problem for a long time you just have to lean forward on the takeoff.

use of this smiley is sufficient evidence to prove that you do indeed want to suck a dick.

That was painful to read.

Sounds like you need to pop more and get more aggressive on the lip of the jump. Maybe where the skis are mounted is getting to your head?

This. Also turn with your shoulders and make sure you lean forward so that your head is above the toe piece of the binding.

You seem like a rather intelligent young person.  I would like to hear you take on the American economy post civil war area.
