Your probably opening up and not realizing it. try to stay tucked longer and keep looking over your shoulder

keep looking over your leading shoulder, and let your upperbody lead the rotation. dont just huck your body off of some small bump

you have to throw your head that will keep you rotating

If your only spinning 270 its because your not looking around. 360 is the easiest trick in the book. Just pop and look around until ur at 360. If you come short its because your not looking around the last 90.

I found that i could never get around and be level to the ground by looking over my shoulder. Id always go like you and then id be leaning back to far and almost get around but then id always fuck up. Then i tried looking under my shoulder and that kept me perfectly oriented to the ground and i can still see where im going. Now i can do them by looking over my shoulder but i dont let myself lean back, but you might want to try the under your shoulder method, it got me rollin on the whole spinning thing...

if you pull your arms and legs in tight toward your body it helps you to rotate faster than if you're spread eagle.

The biggest thin for me to get the whole way around without being to backseat or anyhting was to try grabbing. Try for a safety, and even if you don't get it, compacting your body seemed to work for me.

Just stay tucked really tight until the last 90 degrees of the rotation.

throw it hard with your head and shoulders. if you focus on throwing your shoulders with your head it can help keep you balanced in the air (at least for me)

straight air is the easiest, duh! When I 360, I just close my eyes, huck, scream, and pray to god that I will survive.

Having a wide stance just before you come off the lip helps me spin a lot. As you pop and come off the lip bring them together and for me it helps me spin a lot faster. Bigger jumps help too. Once you get them on small jumps step up to big ones, and then you'll realize its way easier off big stuff.

pull up your legs and stop penciling it. Also, keep your head looking over your shoulder.

Come into jump with legs about shoulder width apart. Throw the spin with your uppper body (arms, chest, head) as you pop off the lip. (Be sure and pop, don't suck it up. Also, don't take off early.) For a big spin, I'll use the inside edge of my right ski (when spinning left) to set my rotation. From there, just keep your head in the spin till you can spot your landing. If you pull things in tight, you'll spin faster. However, be sure and look at the horizon and not down so you don't go off-axis.

take off with a wide stance, and the bring ur feet together. but make sure ur head and body are following your rotation and not just hucking with your arms
