  hmm, the loop jump is a tricky jump, just from its nature. make sure that you arn't twisting your body on the intro to the jump as this tends to lead to putitng more power into the revolutions BEFORE you even jump. try going in from an inside mohawk, cross your left leg in-front and try jumping BACK (this gives you correct posture and in-air position). try not to work too much with your arms either. also just try not thinking about the jump at all, it sometimes helps to just do a 1-2-3 process, mohawk-jump-land, often we jump our best with minimal thought. hope this helps
