I landed my first sketchy 3 two years ago, (the year I started skiing), from a crappy bc-kicker. It took a couple of days.

I skied for a very long time before I started new school stuff, but I landed the first 360 I ever tried. The rest of that season I was about 50/50 with landing them though as I started to get a little crazier.

We'll have you dead pretty soon.

I tried my first 3 last season over a pretty good size table. I waay over rotated, and panicked because at that point i had never tried landing anything switch, so i just gave up on the 540 and just crashed on my ass; hard. Shook it off, hiked back up and nailed the 3. been doin them ever since.

^ Yeah you're full of shit.

Took me a season to get the confidence to try, then a few days of practice to get em consistently enough. (but at the time I was a racer and on Atomic 9.22's)

It took me about an hour in a snowskate park on my first pair of parabolic race skis the jump, if you would call it that was about 2 ft. tall. seemed pretty friggin sick when i was 13. i also slid my first rail that night. it was about 6' off the ground and 6 feet long.

Stuck my first one first try but it was so tiny and i spun it so hard. landed super smooth but i didnt even realize what happened, it just kind of came. took me a little bit to get them consistently but not to long.

the first two years (on twins and interested in newschool), i was totally stoked by riding switch, doing 180s and some hug straight airs.
I didnt want to do 360, because i only wanted to do em on huge kickers, not on this little things, the other call jumps. So last year, at the end of the season, there was this serious 20 ft stepdown on difficult terrain. And i just went for it...
That is maybe the best advise for someone, who wants to learn them, go out and do it.

360 is not really a trick that you learn every one knows how to do it when i started out skiing i was just like 'im gonna do a 3'. Its not hard its a fact of just trying it


So I told him if you say that again im gonna stick this bowl of gucamole up your ass.

Long story short, that is the worst bowl of gucamole iv'e ever tasted

like 5 times of goin to the hill before I could really land it probably. And yeah my first cork 3 is comin I have been tryin them by doin the off akis back flips but it really looks weird but its cool I almost got it. First rail was like a month ago and it was just like a 12 foot straight rail gravy.

impossible is really just a lack of determination
