I need help with a 360

Well you should probably get really good at doing 180's in the park and then none you're comfortable, try a 360. Or just practice them on a trampoline a lot.

try it on a bigger jump, if youre getting 270 you should be able to get around to 3.

2 things:

work on bending your knees on the take off and keeping your weight forward in your boots. Push your shins up against the tongues of your boots to assure you are centered in the air.

also make sure to pop off the jump. if you just roll off the lip, you're at the mercy of wherever the jump wants to send you. Pop before the lip and you will become much more balanced in the air.

check these videos out i'm sure they will help you out, its way easier when you can see what you're supposed to do

Thanks for the tipps Diabeeto$ ! :)

i saw a video once, where they recommended to '(i have no idea how i should call or describe it) have your skis like your shoulders, but your kneeds go more together(like you have to pee) so you have grip with the inside edge of your ski, so you can push with one leg
is this true? and is this recommendable on non park jumps which arent shaped? or should i try on this jumps to get more airtime and do it without this technique because the approach isnt very good?

thanks for the videos! :) ill try that T asap!

thanks very much for Your responding! :)

yea dude 360s are often one of the harder tricks to learn, not really because its a hard trick, but because its often the first major trick that you learn when you start off. Its the first trick where you have a blind spot (unless youve learnt back/front flips first) Also its the fear factor of spinning off the jump rather than doing straight airs and stuff

By the sound of it, being able to do 180s easily and maximum spin is 270, it seems that your main problem is only spinning your skis, and your upper body is staying put. You should probably practice throwing your whole body in a spin from a diving board or trampoline. When i started off i used to do 360s everywhere without skis like up the stairs; off the curb; on rollerblades (no im not gay) and that helped with getting the feel of throwing a spin, rather than just rotating your lower body. now i can throw a 720 on the spot while standing still (without skis)

As for hitting jumps with a steep lip, you're gonna have to lean forward when throwing your spin at the takeoff, so just push with your shins against your boots as hard as you can, start rotating your shoulders a second before takeoff, look over your shoulder, not down, and brace yourself for the landing, and absorb the landing with your knees

Other than that its kinda hard to teach a person to do a ski trick in writing, there is only so much a tutorial can teach you, you kinda have to do trial and error and see what works best for you.

doing 360s everywhere, that could help a lot!
the maximum i can do is 1 and a quater rotation without skis
you can do a 720, impressive

ive read that its helpfull that you stretch your arms out in the oposite direction when you are taking energy for the jump, and when they are straight in the direction you are jumping, you should move them in, cus they are slowing down the rotation if they are far away from your body
does this help?


and thanks for the tipp! :))

I can pop enough and spin 3s not moving with skis on. 3s are easier then 180s off jumps. You probably don't spin enough because your scared. Pop, as you feel ur bindings leave the jump start spinning. throw your arms first then head and everything else. if you can jump with out skis and do a 3 you can do it on a jump.

When you do 360s you don't really need to winned up like bigger spins. When your going off the jump make sure you pop and then spin, so you won't catch a edge.

Sometimes being really confident outside of the park can help. If you're a solid skier all around, and comfortable on your skis, it makes tricks so much easier.

Otherwise make sure to pop (jump at the top of the jump), and try keeping your arms out like a helicopter to stabilize yourself.

do not look down. I am still struggling to get over it and all it does is make you spot your landing at 180 and the last 180 of the spin you get corked and land backseat.

The referenced post has been removed.

What i did to fix this was when i took off from the lip i popped forward and then spun. I Kept doing this for a day and then it came naturally.

Just wind up your arms, go off the jump with a wide stance, pop, and throw your arms and keep looking around. throw it straight across instead of diagonal so you dont land backseat.

I kinda had this same problem. Finally was able to throw some good 3s the other day. Basically just set your arms in a T set, keep your head forward throughout the spin. I was looking down and over my shoulder. Which only lead me to falling or not making it fully around. After, just bend your knees, assure yourself that you have a decently wide stance, but not anything crazy, and make sure to pop. You'll get used to spotting them with practice. You don't need a big jump to learn them either. I throw them off a little hit I made in my front yard. Just practice is all.

Keep looking for your landing as you spin, then keep spinning until you're looking straight ahead, then land
