Landing backseat

So last season I could get all my 5s and 3s and stuff off park jumps with ease but now this season every time I do it I keep landing backseat. Is this usually a problem because I'm just throwing my arms to the side and not actually popping off the takeoff? Suggestions would help
 
yea that's a common problem. make sure you get a good pop and set your spin with your arms/shoulders and body forming a t and then try to suck your legs into your chest. pulling your legs up will help a ton to balance/center yourself

Yup. And also take off with a bit off shin pressure to keep you forwards.
 
I have shin pressure when i take off for my 3s but for some reason i always drop my shoulder still. Its only on poppy jumps. I feel like if i set my throw more forward then i will land on my face or something.

don't worry as much about throwing it forward. Think about keeping your shoulders level on a flat plane throughout the spin and pull your legs up.

Don't look at the ground too early. This is in my opinion the most common problem that leads to backseat landings

Pop and keep your chest as vertical as possible.

Tbh markers are sharper and hurt more than fks's, but somehow fks heelpiece was more relatable so I went with it
 
i am gonna clean these up tomorrow. I feel like if I pick a point to aim at behind me like the first jump knuckle, I will be less off axis. I feel like I am throwing it on axis but I feel like its my head that is dropping my shoulder. Also I feel like keeping my left shoulder shifted to the left will help carry around the 360. I can do them on tiny like 2 ft jumps but this one is 10-15 feet and way poppier.

Yea that's basically what happens everytimd
 
if you go off a big jump you dont need to throw as hard and you can just float a big 3 out and focus on staying more on axis when you land.

Agreed. I didn't even bother learning on the small ones. Less time to situate yourself.
