try spinning your head around super quick then just spotting your landing. go bigger and commit

practice them on the ground about a million times then you will get them easy next time you go ski. turn your hips and shoulders at the same rate

when i started doing them i was only doing 180s too, this is becasue you get scared and your rotation stops, keep the head turing and youll be nailing them,it takes awhile but youll get it!

Go back into the posts that are a few days old and look for the other threads on 360's.

I just wrote a novel on it not too long ago.

when i do 3's, i put my left arm out, then as i go off the lip, drop it and look over my left shoulder. Works for me

i can seriously spin a 1080 off the ground, and if you dont believe me ill post a video. its all about starting with your arms way out like a T, and than as you start to spin pull thme in to your chest, you will spin so fast

there has been so many posts in the last wile about 360's.. Either way, im almost positive your not letting your head lead the spin, your probably focussing on spinning your skies, not you!

i can do 7's off the ground, but when you are going to do a 3, just pop, turn your shoulders, hips and head, and you will do a 3 eaasy. after a bit of practice, you will not need to use your arms at all.

I was going to be all 'just huck it around with your head and arms' I can do 360's on the ground but you guys took me to school with your fancy 720's and 1080's

My friend can throw a 900 on the ground, but he is an ice skater.

Are you an ice skater?
If so, I am sorry.

good question, however it turns out that the 'holy grail of skiing' AKA the 360, is physically impossible. that's right folks
