As you can see i didnt land it. That were my last try on that vacation. But i cant land my 360. Is it easier to land a 540 or should i keep trying?
I need to bend a little more foreward but its hard..
Anyone who can help me with my problem?

Dont try to spin so fast, ur really huckin and ur left arm is flyin like a bat out of hell, 3's all u need to do is look over ur shoulder, aproach the jump wind a little in the opposite direction ur gonna spin, then slowly unwind as u move up the lip so that your now facing as far as u can turn the other way, timing is KEY, then just as u leave the lip ur feet are free so u continue to spin, keep your arms INNN and looook, once u get it ull be fine just keep tryin

A) take off the stupid backpack
B) don't throw your spin so hard
C) look over the shoulder of the direction you wish to spin.
D) Don't spin start to spin, until after you are off the jump.

hucking means throwning your shoulders around as fast as you can to gert a really fast spin. It just makes you gert way off balence. Just spin smooth, look over your shoulder, and spot your landing

Don't be so stressed (it looked like you were trying a little too hard)

Do a safety grab...

yea that jump is big enough where you shouldnt have to wind up. just come up in athletic position and carve a little bit in the direction you want to spin and begin to move your upper body in your spin direction. your legs will follow. doing a grab will help your legs and body be together in the air. so just relax like some other people said

yep you need to chill out, you are really tossing it too hard, calm down and try to stay centred, your center of balnce looks to high try to focus on staying level. also is this entire page a link for everyone else?

you're cranking too hard beforeyou leave the jump, and you're taking off your left foot which is making you go off axis.So pop more and start spinning in the air.

before attemting the 360 there are a few safety checks id recommend going through. make sure your goggles are secure and that clothes are comferatble and allow you to have full range of motion. make sure you boot buckles are tight enough provide a decent amount of support. This should be done EVERY time before you attempt to do a 360.

1) approach the jump with a moderate amount of speed, enough to make the landing safetly.
2)have knees bent at a 110 degree angle within 20 feet of the jump.
3)when 10 feet away from the jump, adjust the angle of your knees to 90 degress. make sure your arms are out and front of you.
4) wind up for the spin, if spinning right, put your right arm out to the right and put your left arm toward your right armpit. twist your torso to the right slightly
5) as your ride up the transition of the jump, slowly stand up till your knees are straight when you reach the lip of the jump, when you reach the lip of the jump, unwind to the left slowly but surely.
6) here is the trick, this is why you where landing backseat. at about 90 degrees, close your eyes and try to put your head inbetween your knees. this will fight the transition of the jump throwing you on your back. keep your head in between your knees for the remainder of the rotation.
7) when the rotation is complete, its time to add some style. right before you land your going to want to throw in a grab of your choice. i prefer a toxic air or a flying fish/ luikang. you can let go of the grab or hold onto it through the landing process for extra style.
8) prepare for the landing. keep legs straight and bend them to your chest on the impact of the landing.
9) ski away like nothing happened and wait for the hotties in the lift line to give you there phone numbers!
