keep going bigger until 360 is so small that you can tweak it all sorts of ways.

Seems like you're pretty comfy in the air at this point, so maybe focusing on where your arms are/eliminating that small flail/trying to work in a mute or safety grab. Also probably tricky on this jump because of the width, but carving into 3s vs going straight into them looks way more stylish in a park setting or somewhere where you have the space for it

my 3s are trash so take this w a grain of salt

That was clean for sure. The only thing I would recommend is to get a good pop off the lip then set your rotation. If you go frame by frame it looks like you started rotating on the ramp.

I noticed that and I tend to do it for most rotations, how would I set my rotation in mid air without using the lip of the jump to push of off. also on a similar note what point in the arc of my flight should I be at 90 and 180.

Not bad for a 360 on a jump that small. Just do it off bigger jumps and you’ll be able to float them with a nice high safety or sum. Fair warning tho when u start doing it off bigger jumps and you start to float them, the rotation will feel slightly different since your not just whipping it around like you would on a small jump. Hope this helps.

Blunt’s kinda ugly on straight 3s though in my opinion. I recommend carving with a lot of speed and grabbing mute or high safety with insane tweaks for the steeze. Really any grab from safety towards the noses.

I know this is an unpopular opinion but I’m so tired of only seeing blunts. ;_;

You want to set the rotation as you pop off the lip. I watched the clip again a few times and it looks like you may have been doing that. Its always important to get a good pop instead of just sliding over the top of the jump. The best way to practice this is just do a ton of random 360 jumps in your bedroom throughout the day and that will train your body to incorporate the rotation with the initial jump. You kept your eyes up through which is clutch. 99% of the reason people (Including myself for years) fail at 360s is they drop their eyes and it throws their axis off.

Oh that was nice.
Iron Cross that 360. Coolest 360 position is crossing up your skis and throw them back. It also gets you ready for grabbing trick. Next is 3 safety. Neat, clean, fun trick.
