I think your problem with the pirouette is that you aren't continuing to drive your back hip through the rotation, once your foot has landed on the board. If you keep rotating your momentum, you will land centered. Here is a little tip I made a while ago for them:

Pirouette Trick Tip

Backside G-turns are pretty crazy...I haven't even begun to learn them yet so there's no tips I can give you for that one!

Oh, and FatB your vid is looking really nice so far. Those G-turns are smooth, I've got to get them on the big board eventually. The cartwheel onto the board is a very nice addition too.
