Landing Backseat

focus on how you do the trick from a technical view i.e. for a 3, get even pop with both legs and keep your shoulders flat as you start rotating and pull your legs to your chest without flailing. try not to be lazy when doing a trick, even if you think you have it on lock otherwise weird things happen.
 
throw "into" the jump some, it'll get you focusing on setting the spin on a flat plane
 
Always ski and take off with your shins flexing hard against the tongue of your boots, think "knees over toes".
 
are you leaning back in the air whenever you land backseat, because if you feel like you are then just lean forward and its as easy as that. But if you are centered in the air and land backseat, then either your legs are super weak and can't handle landings or your skis are dead(they don't have any stiffness any more).
 
Try doing different grabs or tucking your knees in. Seems like whenever I land backseat I'm not doing any grabs and just hucking..

And better figure it out fast because landing backseat=worst shinbang of your life
 
land in an athletic stance arms in front like your catching a basket ball. but if want to look cool keep hands to the side and legs close together and land backseat.
 
press it out

This. just focus on really good posture on the takeoff.

And don't stare at the lip like you would a rail. I always look at the horizon (or where it would be if it's a bigger jump) until I'm ready to initiate my spin.
 
Hands have to be out infront of your body. When they are out of control and behind you is when you tend to land backseat.
 
I'll probly get shit for this but watch some pro mogul skiers. They do 4 point take offs for a reason. If you were ever able to film yourself going off a jump I would bet money your form looks like complete garbage at the lip. Its important to have solid fundamentals in jumping in order to progress. You have to know the rules first before you can break them.
