didnt look very backseat to me.. Anyways, you need to hit the jump with forward pressure on the tongue of your boots.

Bend your knees more, don't wind up as much, and bring your knees up and tighten your core muscles in the air so your body stays more compact and rotates as one.

Kinda hard to see because of my phone but to me it looks like you aren't popping as much as you should be it almost looked like you were absorbing the lip its also a pretty big step down. How are your 180s my 180s were really weak and so were my 3s so i soent time working on 1s and noticed a change in rotation all around

Your feet are too close together, need to be shoulder width apart when you set. Also, press shins into the front of your boots.

Keep your weight centered, and put pressure on your toes and shins (not too much though). Also when you throw the spin keep your shoulder and head flat. If you throw back your shoulders your whole body will follow. Basically just stay centered.
