Landing on my side during 3's

I've been doing 360's off of like a 10 or 15 foot jump and it seems good. I jump, and spin around. I get the trick around fine but everytime I always land either tipping over to one side or on my side. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. i wanna step up my 360's to bigger jumps (we have a 30ft.) but I need to be able to land em. Can someone help?

it sounds stupid and obvious but you also have to make sure you're centered and in an athletic stance at takeoff, it could be something as simple as leaning too far back or to far to one side at takeoff...

yea, have a wide stance when you take off. the reason you are landing on your side is because your leaning back and are not centered when you are spinning. also you probably not spinning hard enough so you doing 270, or just might be bailing out 3/4 through the trick because your not center. hope that helps.

yah, you are probably looking down in the air. When you look down the rest of your body follows you head and you go off axis. To stay on axis you want to make sure you have a nice clean pop, set your spin with all of your body, not just your arms. To stay level in the air, try to spot something back uphill at 180 and then at 360 keep your vision up, and you should ride away clean!

put your hands forward in the air to keep you upright.

Whatever you do, DO NOT use the searchbar. That will not help you at all.

you're either over or under-rotating your jump. Try to not wind up so much before take off. A simple twist of the hips and shoulders should be more than enough momentum to get you around. Spot your landing at 180 and your body will follow.
