No, I know exactly what your talking about. On a trampoline, I have to consciously make an effort to jump straight up, then spin. I have a tendency to drift if I don't.
Watch it again, I don't really use any of the jumps spinning momentum. I wait until I know I'm @ the edge of the lip, then pop. My rotations are way slower because of this, but I go much bigger.
I"m not even close to touchin' the lip, my rotation starts after I leave the jump.
