I learned flat 3 and 5 last year. By the end of the season I could land them nearly 100% consistently, but after doing a lot of tramp and water flatspins this summer, I cannot seem to land my flat 3s on park jumps now. I just land so backseat. Like i would land fine on a flat landing but park landings slope down. How do you set so you come out of the trick leaning more forward?

Just mount your bindings +25cm.

But seriously you know the answer, practice in your new environment. Start with 180, etc.

idk i feel like if the jump is too small and you’re setting too hard it would be hard to stop the rotation

it depends on why he’s landing backseat. i guess he could be setting too hard and over rotating but he could also be too backseated at takeoff.
