Is this a flatspin?

So I landed a flat spin on skis last season but it definitely wasn’t as tweaked out as it could be so I just messed around practicing the rotation at my friends pool, is this a pretty solid flat spin? Excuse the boxers, it was about 90 degrees and humid after a 10 hour day of logging.

looks pretty backflip-like to me. it's gonna be tough to get a true flatspin into the pool, though

See I was wondering that because my shoulder are 90 degrees to the side and it’s some what off axis so I don’t really know how to fix it.

Backflip for sure. Doing a true flat spin on a diving board is going to be tough. I feel like that’s a trick where you really need to carve right and have the jump pop you

shoulders can just be tweaked and aren't representative of the actual rotation. don't let tweaks and grabs fool you. Look at the overall movement of the body.
