when i come in progressive edging to do my jump i am always leaned backwards so i usally fall backwards when i land, but when i almost flatten out before i jump i can still get 3 ft of air which has allowed me to do 180's and grabs, however i want to go bigger, so can someone give me tips of keeping my ballance in the air while i proggessive edge?

When you go up, pull it in and down.

if you have the rope up at shoulder level it's gonna pull you over your top, with the rope at the hips the pull is at the center of your body giving greater balance against the pull of the rope
