Sooooo for the last 2 season I've been doing a lot of flips and off axis spins, but when I try and go back to the basics and do a 360 I always end up going off axis and landing super backseat/not smooth at all. I used to be really good at 3s carving and not, had them on lock. What has happened? At this point I'm more comfortable trying flat 3s and shit than doing a 3

Well its probably because you have been practicing so many off axis spins. Your in the habit of spinning off axis, so when you try to do a normal 3 you throw off axis. I had the same problem a couple years ago. You just have to mix it up a little, do some 3s and then do a couple flat 3s.

I totally feel you OP. Recently, I have seem to lost the ability to cork and rodeos sketch me out. A few weeks ago, I landed my first cork and rodeo 9. Now I can barely do rodeo 5s and cork 7s.

But I relearned backflips so Im not distraught.

I came into this thread like "oh yeah, I still need to learn 5's I'm definitely jumps challenged"
Then I read the post and realized I dont belong here

Just put more shin pressure and put your arms in a T formation. It'll look a bit odd but you will learn them again

I know what you mean OP. I've had a few days where on-axis spins really weren't working out for some stupid reason after working on flips/off-axis stuff for a while. Solution: front flip everything. Not kidding. It will bring your shit back together.

Take it all the way back to the basics and work on a good strong pop on takeoff. You can re-build from there. Almost guaranteed it'll fix everything.

I feel you, I can't even do a 5 anymore unless off axis, forward or switch.

Because the lingo is similar and that's messing with your head. Remember that the moves are totally different. A cork 3 is basically an entirely different trick to a 3.

Whenever I try anythig off axis, I misty 5. Even if it's a totally different rotation. Flat 5? Nope. Misty. Cork sev? Nope. Misty

I do the same thing trying to practice off axis stuff on tramps, it doesn't make sense
