360 help

So I started doing some nice 180s on the jumps at my home mountain.  Then I decided to throw some 360s.  I under rotated a bit at first.  When I finally got the rotation I landed super backseat and fell every time.  I think when I was spinning I got a little off axis to the back.  How do I spin faster and not get leaned back off axis.  How do you stay forward?
thanks

Just lean a lil forward. When you pre-spin make sure you throw it perfectly horizontal, not off axis at all

Sorry for double post but make sure that you pop off the lip, this will make you more balanced in the air.

Search this. I'm having the same problem and I just found 3 or so threads on it.

But, just grab safety and pop off your toes.

when you take off, make sure you are not hunched over at all.  make sure you are totally balanced.

True that, I love how he explained it. When you pop stay level, when you throw throw straight horizontal, when you look uphill to continue your spin look level.

One thing that helped me balance out in the air when I was learning 3's was to focus on keeping my shins pressed forward into my boots, and to keep a wide stance when going on the takeoff. That way it forces your body to be more balanced ahead of time and you don't have to think about as much in the air. Also don't forget to pop THEN spin. You might be trying to spin too early and could be throwing your rotation off-axis some.

keep forward pressure in your boots and make sure you pop before you spin instead of spinning of the lip and you should be good

Sorry for the DP but also if you're going to try to throw them off smaller jumps try to carve in and really set your edge before you spin.

Whats happening is as you go to throw the 3 your not concentrating on learning that bit forwards against the jump you usually have to to stay level and your feet are riding up infront of your body. Just make sure you throw level and jump your wait forward.

ya i still have the exact same problem and i get horrible shin bang from it. ive found that popping more helps, and kinda tucking and bringing up your knees helps you stay more balanced
