keep it rotating into a 9, instead of opening up and waving your arms all over. hows that sound.

you landed pretty good IMO... maybe your legs are weak? cause you landed straight and dropped backseat for no reason.

This. Just flex forward into your boot so you arent sitting on your tails.

Naw, dont think its that. Thats one of my best 720 so far.. i got far more worse where i land em on real backseat. its something in the rotation. When i do 900 i land it quite perfect.. but 720's are bitches.

stop corking or find a less kicky jump.

its pretty hard to land a 9 backseat lol, but seriously, are you trying to do a cork 7 or just a 7?

In the video, it looks like you have to open up to stop your rotation.  Try spinning just a little slower.

I find it easier to put there a little cork.. would be super hazard if i tried to spin "normally.

IMO it's just the pitch of the landing. Because its pretty steep, and do you seem do have time slow your rotation and come to a landing position. When're you're comming out of your rotation, just lean forward a bit more

Okay well that is your problem. Wtf is a "little cork" in there mean. Either do it cork and drop your shoulder, or do it on axis. If you're putting a little cork in there you are always going to land backseat, cause your axis is set all wrong.

you kind of went off axis but it still looked really good
if you would lean back more you could throw a boss cork 7 and you might wrap it around so you wont be backseat when landing

two choices here

you're basically (from what i can tell) halfway in between cork and non-corked, so either lean more forward on takeoff to avoid corking, or tell yourself fuck it and go for the full out cork 7.

in both your videos it looks like you hit the snow and then just drop to your butt. Maybe try to think about not doing that

Add a little more forward pressure on the fronts of your boots on take off and that should help greatly. Beyond that, visualize landing in a stomped, slightly forward leaning stance when you land and make sure to pop, then set the trick. In the vid it seems like you're throwing the trick almost before the lip, apply patience young padewon.

think of the slope of the landing that you will be landing on when you take off and when your in the air.

Looks to me like your slightly over rotating. Try slowing it down a little bit and stop it. good luck!

be more patient on your take off. lots of forward pressure in your boots and you can float out that last 360 a lot more. it looks almost like you are coming uncorked too early and starting to cork again by the time you are landing.

i cant cork 7 but i can 7, and my only advice would be to lean forward more on the takeoff. push your shins into your tongues and pop hard. it looks like you set the spin with the angle of the jump takeoff, which might be screwing you up

You're corking too fast.

Spin slower. You're going cork too fast and trying to slow it down at the end and just dropping to your butt.
