I watch all these videos on ns of these guys doing last second shifties and1-80s right before they land they just seem to twirl their skis around and just have so much control of their skis like their not even wearing skis. The question is how? How do I have that much control of my skis. My foot doesn't move inside my boot, I have tw full tilts but the sole itself shifts depending if my weight is on my shins or heels is that normal? How can I make it a tighter fit without buying new boots? I got them for xmas Any advice helps thanks.

Probably too big.
Do you have a footbed? If not, get one.

Most importantly: see a bootfitter

Your ski boots can be an issue if they feel to big but another that helps with this shifties and late 180s are how you feel in the air along with control. The more comfortable you get in the air the better you will be able to pull off steezy tricks like these.
