The BIG 360

No I didn't have my 360th birthday yesterday, I just landed my first 360 this weekend. My first one felt so smooth I was like 'why the fuck haven't I been doing this all along?' I know everyone will laugh but I'm 20 years old and been skiing for 14 but was never able to capture the elusive 360. I've been seriously wanting to land one for 4-5 years but didn't want to get hurt.

After reading a post about 360s every other day on newschoolers I was constantly in the 360 state of mind. So I want to thank you guys (especially the newbies) for keeping me focused on landing my helicopters (for you older folks) and never letting me give up. Next up is switch 360s and 540s. Hopefully I'll be able to land them by the end of the season. If you read this entire post, congratulations I now give you permission to make fun of me.

thanks guys for all the positive backfeed. I was getting way too ahead of myself. I forgot this is not the 70s and I gotta work on my style. I also gotta go bigger so I can do grabs and cross it up.

I learned threes and 180's about a month ago for that matter. but anyway I throw them on our biggest kicker and I got pretty smooth at them worked out all my kinks about timing of pop and this weird problem I had with my lead foot shaking widly in the air. Anyway I need some help I was trying to incorporate grabs with them the other day(tailgrabs) and it made me panicky or something and I keep landing backseat when I try Im spinning to the right and grabbing (attempting to grab) with right hand to right ski is this wrong is there an easier grab or way? - and congrats on the 3 sorry for robbin your thread :D

the problem w/ grabs is w/ most 3 grabs you look back at it which then throws your spin so you start to lean back. try not to think/look at grab
