Jan 23, 2012 - I have followed all of the steps to landing a 360 and i nearly have, however even though i basically completely every part of the jump perfectly, when i land I do not stop spinning, also the jumps that I have been going off mostly have ice on the landing, is my continual spinning because of the ice or possibly because i have over spun? This is the only part yet that is messing me up in my jump yet.. Thanks for your help!

Jan 23, 2012 - Yo, awesome tutorials Nev, super helpful.I'm started front 3's on bigger kickers, I tend to scrub loads on the takeoff.I've started learning them off my toes - any tips on this? Or even how to stop scrubbing the takeoff on heels?

snowboardaddiction Says:

Jan 24, 2012 - It's super common to revert the landings of Frontside 360's when you learn them. The main reason this happens is because riders have a natural tendency to want to look down the fall line as soon as they land. When you do this, it opens your shoulders, puts you onto your heel edge and continues your spin on the ground. To prevent this, land blind and look back at the landing as you ride away until you get your balance on the snow. Good luck!

Jan 24, 2012 - Pre-spinning is super common when you first start spinning. If you want to keep spinning off your heels, you need to make sure that you aren't doing your set up carve too early when you approach the jump. Practice this by doing some frontside 180's, it's the exact same set up carve that you will be using when you do your 360. If you want to spin off your toes make sure you have frontside 180's dialled off your toes first. The set up carve is mirrored as to when you spin off your heels.

Feb 4, 2012 - Witch is the best way to spin( front side or back side ) and toe side or heel side? thanks

snowboardaddiction Says:

Feb 4, 2012 - It's most natural for people to spin frontside off their heels and backside off their toes, although you will see some riders mix it up and spin off their unnatural edge. Which one is 'better' is all a matter of personal preference, both frontside and backside look awesome if you do them with style. Learn what's most natural to you first and then mix it up!

Feb 5, 2012 - Firstly, thanks for these vids they are very helpful. Unfortunately I have inconsistancy issues when I have been getting better at backside spins. I can pretty much get my backside 3's and 5's on lock somedays and they can look really sick. the problem I was having was that sometimes I tend to land my three really heel heavy. is this a takeoff problem or something I am doing in the air? It feels worse when I grab. then sometimes with 5 I land almost on my chest, Help Please! this is on 30footer

Feb 5, 2012 - my 3's are really close to perfect and i can do em on almost anything. The thing is, a habit is to just coast off the lip as 3s are pretty easy to get around, I can do bigger spins but only on really big jumps. I see youre prewinding and everytime i focus on prewinding it throws everything off. any advice?

snowboardaddiction Says:

Feb 7, 2012 - Start your windup as you transition onto the edge that you are going to take off from, pre-winding too early can make it hard to stay balanced as you ride up the lip. Don't over do it, keep yourself controlled and smooth. Make sure that you initiate the parallel to the horizon, keep your core tight and you'll notice your spins speed up. Spinning is more about being efficient than hucking, so keep that in mind. Have fun!

snowboardaddiction Says:

Feb 7, 2012 - Usually landing in the backseat (which would put you on your heels if you under rotate the BS 3 or stomach on the 5) is caused by pre spinning as you leave the jump. Slow down your set up carve slightly and try to leave the jump standing up taller with your edge running straight off the lip. It's common for people to pre spin and crouch over when they do this trick and it puts them onto their heels. Hope that helps!

Feb 12, 2012 - Hey I started doing 3's and I can barely land them. I keep on going inverted and just falling on my face. Is there any way to prevent me from going to inverted?

Feb 12, 2012 - @simonson593 thats what im saying!! ive never tried a 3 of a big jump and i know i can and i just want to goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Feb 13, 2012 - Lol they just flip the video horizontal for regular and goofy riders !

snowboardaddiction Says:

Feb 14, 2012 - Busted! It's really time consuming (and expensive) to film, capture, edit and compress 2 different videos that will look the same anyways so the horizontal flip is the most efficient way for us to keep both the regular and goofy riders happy. Nice catch though!

snowboardaddiction Says:

Feb 14, 2012 - Practice on some side hits first and work your way up to the table top style jumps. Usually when people get off axis with their frontside spins it's because they let their weight fall backwards off the lip by opening their front shoulder and initiating the spin by pulling the front hand back. Focus more on pushing your weight into the spin by by bringing the back hand forward as you leave the lip. Try this on the ground a couple times and you'll see how it keeps your shoulders level

Feb 18, 2012 - how i stop my penis from floping around when i 360? its 

snowboardaddiction Says:

Feb 18, 2012 - Don't fight it, let it help your rotation. I use mine for extra wind up whenever I do anything over a 360.
