I am working on my 360s right now, and I feel like I need a few pointers in terms of consistency.
Below are 3 3s:

https://www.newschoolers.com/videos/watch/955289/0c3a5d66-5a23-4cb4-b734-c0fdba50541c-MP4Above is probably my biggest attempt; I went a little fast for this jump and went pretty flat.
It looks to me like I did some kind of shifty motion with my arms that stopped my rotation, and I didn't feel like I had time to spot and stomp.

Here is a bail. It looks to me like I set the exact same rotation as before, so I'm not sure why i titled forward off axis a bit.
What was different here than before that caused me to lose balance in the air?

Lastly, above is my cleanest 3. I did case the jump from lack of speed though. I feel like I may be spinning to much before I've popped, which may be the cause of the shifty-like delay in my rotation.

Thoughts? Tips? Any feedback is awesome.

I thought they looked pretty good. Now terms of consistency that's just going to take more practice. I stopped every video at the peak of you bringing your knees up. The middle video looked like you went into a straight cannonball which looked like it threw you off axis a bit.

You're pretty much there, man. Focus on keeping your shoulders and arms parallel with the ground when you throw the spin. Keep your head up and turned into the spin as well, eyes should be towards the horizon. Looking down is your natural reaction, but where your eyes and head point is where your body will follow.

It may seem dorky, but watch bump skiers throw pencil 3's you'll see what I mean with the upper body positioning you need to stay on axis

these look heaps good, im in the same stage rn, doing that weird shifty thing near like 270 of my spin, i think i over roatate before i pop, and my body moves faster then my skis, im gonna try this season (in australia) to keep head and shoulders straighter and use more my arms, hips and knees. idk if this is helpful but hopefully it is

It looks fine. Yes, the last one was a little early and the first was unintentionally shiftied but if you keep doing them you’ll soon stomp every time

Keep your head up. You're landing front seat which is weird because most people have the opposite problem. And the comment above about bump skiers and pencil 3s is spot on. Treat it as one fluid motion between your upper body (head and shoulders) and lower body (hips).

Do you guys know how to fix over rotation? Because when I land I get thrown into a 180 by the momentum.

Either hit a 5 or open earlier. Don’t wind so much with your upper body either
