hey! I'm pretty much a beginner and was wondering how to spin faster for a 360. I can mostly do a 180 without too much difficulty. I tried a 3 the other day and couldn't get all the way around. Should i try to get more air...or try to spin faster?

dont try to hard. a lot of people try to spin before they are even in the air... this makes you stop halway through your rotation. create some momentum before you jump, but not too much because your feet wont be able to follow. and let your head and shoulders go before your feet

if you're beginning and u want fast wind your arms... you can carve off the end too if u want.. winding arms a hole lot for a small spin is dumb... dont even bother just go bigger dude. laid out 3s are better anyawys.

don't learn on a big kicker.... it's just dangerous and stupid.... wind up the opposite direction of your spin as your coming in, then as you reach the edge of the jump pop up as you unwind an look around.... the biggest thing is to keep looking around until you see your landing.... don't stop rotating your head at 180

does anybody else spin a different way for 3's and 180's? for 1's i spin to the right always, but when going for a 3 i spin left.

I always spin left, just feels more comfortable, can do 1's right but I like to use my right arm for hucking.

My advice is all of the above and MOST OF ALL: DO NOT LOOK AT THE GROUND UNTIL THE LANDING IS IN YOUR VIEW. If you look somewhere else, you're head will stop turning and your body will naturally stop spinning. Learn on a kicker with a big powder landing.
REMEMBER: It's 10% equipment, and 90% rider.

just pop, whip your head around, tuck your legs, spot landing, stick it, show off a bit

I can almost never spot my landing on spins because I.... I just never do it, but I always land my 3's no matter how big/small the jump is. The only times I don't land them are hard backseat landings and when your boarder friends leave huge grooves in the pow landing.
