It's only my second year skiing park so this may seem a little n00b-ish,

but i need some help with my 3s & 5s
i have the rotation down fine, i always bring it around and i ride away decently enough,
but im a pretty back seat all the time, especially with the 3s

>why?

you might spin too much like a pencil then(spinning with your legs straight), if so then try to bring up your knees more when you are between 90 and 180 degrees through the rotation, and you can also try to spin a little slower(helps control). Doing that will probably help, and it will make your spins look better. Also if you are doing your spins on park jumps then this tip will help, but if you are doing spins on some random little jumps around the resort then get off of those jumps and do them on the park jumps. those little jumps are for the gapers or they are for fun when you are freeriding.

i had the same problem with my 3's once i took them to bigger jumps

it helps A LOT if u lean forward once u take off. once i got used to this, now i just do them super dumped with noses to the ground and tails to the sky
