you aren't commiting to to the spin.
remember this equation.....
your eyes, lead your head, leads your shoulders, leads your torso, leads your legs.
Look left, turn your head left, turn your shoulders left, then the rest of the body will follow. [or right, and the rest will follow]
your arms are a large part of your kinetic energy, allowing you to wind up to spin. However even if you spin without looking your body will not allow it to commit.
When you come around from a spin, the rest of the body will follow, PROVIDED your eyes have seen/spotted the landing.
Common problem for people going off of bigger jumps trying to spin is the fact that they tend to shift their eyes/head in a direction that leads them to fall on their back, or their stomach.
the backside 360 is the easier of the spins because you can turn your head and your body 180 allowing you to virtually spot the landing quicker.
The frontside 3 is harder because you can only turn your head in a 90degree position before the rest of the body follows suit.
