Spins on a quarter pipe?

My hill just built their first quarterpipe this week and I'm having all kinds of trouble trying to spin 3's and five's on it. when I go for a spin I always seem to land real low in the transition and way off axis. My skis at least hit the ground first but then I just flop onto my side. Getting the rotation is fine, but I guess I am setting the spin wrong. Got any tips? the same thing happens in the halfpipe too.

 
im certainly not a pro in the pipe but my guess would be that you're popping off the lip too much throwing you away from the wall

just when you jump off the top of the pipe do ur spin then try to stary closer to the wall...try doin a normal type of air first until u get use to landing where you need to land then go for ur tricks

You are probably dropping a shoulder or moving your head off axis when your throw your spin.

You can't use the horizon for reference to make sure you start your spin on axis like on a kicker. You've got to go on feel alone.

 
you go up the ramp and then spin and then land its pretty simple

jk dont drop your sholders

Just throw the spins pretty much the same was as you would any other jump. My guess is that you're changing how you initiate the spin and are droping your should.

And as far as landing in the flat goes, I'm not the best pipe skier but I can air out consistently, and when I think about it I don't really pop all that much. It's all about the speed you carry through the transition that gets you out and keeps you from decking out.

go faster and don't pop so much.
