this is my first year in the park and ive been trying 180's i landed 1 on like a 25 foot jump, but i ate crap every other time i tried it which was liek 5 other times. i can do them easy on small jumps, but i dont know what im doing wrong. i think it might be that im leaning to far forward but im not sure.

If you're poping out a lot then tighten your bindings up a bit.
When you land don't forget to absorb the impact, lean up the hill some more and look at the take off.

stay on axis and spot your landing with a wide stance mabye

wider stance, you might not be spinning a full 180 so have a friend watch you to see what your doing wrong.

sounds to me like you are looking down as you take off... causing you to go on the axis not conducive to landing 180s, try taking off and setting your spin with your shoulders instead of just looking back and then down towards the landing...
it can depend on alot of things. Such as how the jump is shaped.. if its really lippy then maybe your just not popping off it correclty and getting throwen back. it really depends on alot of things... however, i wouldn't recommend on trying to learn, and or start spinning with your arms/shoulders. Its a bad habbit, your going to have problems down the road with trying to make it look stylish and getting grabs in... you will be a twirllin ballarina(sp?) Spin with the hips, then you can control the rest of your body.
