Haha huge props for the commitment. Hope you're all good. You should sidestep out your inrun to pack it down, maybe sprinkle water all over it and let it harden up for an hour or two depending on the temps. Looked like really soft, slow snow.

1st one- bruh
2nd one- grab your knees with hands and hold it
3rd one- best one but still didn’t rotate enough

on all of these there was not enough speed and airtime. You could try really hucking it around with a big pop and a tight tuck but that will just make it harder. Honestly just get more speed or a bigger jump. Try icing up the inrun

Dude you were trying to flip off this jump. I needed to skate into the run in and really try pop the set in jump to get enough speed to do a 180 and not destroy your lip. big ups on the commitment tho maybe just go to fortune and try there.

You kicked your knees up only.
A backflip is swung with the hips.

Impressive neck landing though. Maybe dont do those anymore
