im Curious about proper form for spins off jumps / spinning off rails. I know this seems kind of dumb but when I do 3s off jumps it feels awkward. Idk why. If you guys could gimme some tips that would be dope.

Do you have any videos? Then we could see if there is anything specific that you could do.

In general, have a solid pop and look where you're spinning. Maybe trying a grab would make it less awkward, but at the same time it could make it worse.

Take a more of an athletic stance going into the jump and Pop up before you spin.

That is much better. Now use your core to bring your legs up. Even without a grab you have more control and it makes it easier to grab

Hell yeah! That was sick! Get comfortable going faster and you'll really get it down. Love the natural hit.
