Blind when spinning, any advice would be appreciated

Hi, recently I started consistently landing rotations past 360 (5 and 7), but the difference between those and my 3s, is that I'm not able to see anything whilst I'm rotating, and I'm finding it difficult to know when to grab. Not sure if I'm just rotating too fast for the size of the jump(roughly 5'), or if I'm not doing something right. Any opinion is welcomed

lmao, not exactly advice, but I take it I probably shouldn't be rotating that much on a small jump? After reviewing footage it's closer to 7' but also incredibly steep

If you're spinning really fast it's gonna be hard to see. There's not really a way to prevent that. In order to see better while doing the same spins you need to spin slower, which you can only do by hitting a bigger jump.

its just better and a bit more safe trying them on bigger jumps...more time to set and look for your landing as opposed to cramming it all in at once on a super small jump and hucking your meat though it looks kinda cool, but you fuck up and its a good way to get concussed, plus a bigger spin on a bigger jump is definitely more cool

I mean right now I'm doing 3s and I feel like i'm blind in the air. I feel like the more you do it the more comfortable you get knowing where you are relative to everything else (importantly: the ground).
