Struggles with 360

I'm having issues rotating clean when I try to spin. When I take off the jump I usually spin to the left, and the inside of my left ski always seems to catch an edge and it throws off my rotation and kills my momentum. Any advice?

For this issue, try moving one step up and move to a carving 3 instead of a helicopter, thats what helped my friend get them

I used to have a similar problem because i was 'pre-spinning'.

You may be winding up too much and beginning your spin before you are in the air.

So dont wind up your arms too much, and make sure you pop before you start your spin.

Make sure your feet clear the lip before you initiate the spin and pop pretty hard

You're probably winding up a ton and starting to spin before you're in the air. I used to have the same problem. If you spin left come in from the right and carve into your spin and make sure you pop. Also use your head to spin more than your arms.

You should try to pop more and wait just a tad longer for the rotation

Pop more, lean forward so you're not landing backseat

This happened to me once. Just try and lead with your upper body more and take off a little later

This is definitely the best solution it's how I fixed my 3's and now one of my best and favorite tricks to always throw.

This. Beginning of last year I had this problem because I was popping early and beginning to spin before I was really off the jump, it might feel like the bigger wind up and starting your spin earlier is going to let you pull it around, but you just have to wait another moment and pop

Stiff legs, arms flapping straight out, no movement. What all the mogul skiers did in the 90's

I agree with this. I was having the same problem with catching my edge like that and this helped. This guy I ski with used to be a freestyle ski coach and he just told me to avoid spinning too early. It helped me from catching my edge and it helped keep me from landing backseat.

try and come up carving to the left, with your legs spread like a bit more than shoulder width and start rotation with your head, keep on spinning head while keeping it level, the body will follow!

Yeah I got my 3s down perfectly when carving and kinda looking down but not that it goes to a cork.

ive got similar issues, i can get the rotation around fine but i land backseat every time. times im landing close to 450 almost completely sideways. i know the obvious thing is to lean forward more but is there anything specific i should do?

more pop, what i mean by that is you literally have to jump off the jump, just like you would on the ground but on the jump. Dont let the jump just send you, jump off the lip for that extra boost and you should have much more control.

I did that too when I was learning 3s. It took a long time to "master" it but when I just did it carving (I know it might be scary at first) I landed perfectly and after that I have never done a 3 without carving off a "big jump".
