i'm not telling you. you have to figure it out yourself. that would be unfair to us if you could learn them just reading our posts.

jump and bail. that's the way to learn new tricks.

i dont know why everyone has to be such dicks to kids askin simple questions. My advice is when you are approachign the lip of the jump, pop of the lip, and just look over the shoulder in the direction you spin. I look over my left shoulder, and just keep lookin till you spot the landing, then look straight ahead. Your body will follow your head

it kinda helps to wind up with your arms the opposite direction then whip it the other when spining off.

remember to rotate your hips too. if your hips are moving, your whole body has to, and start small, you only need like ten feet of air to do a three sixty.

10feet of air to do a 360 i dont think so you could jump on flats and do a 360 if u wanted, he could just build a 1ft pile of snow shape it and do it there unless he already goes big

My advice is to split the jump into 2 parts

(1) is the all important pop, totaly and uterly nessesary and its real hard to stick some style and also a grab for later without pop.

(2) To generate the spin i found that the smoothest rotations come from just the shoulders and the abdominal coiling up. for smaller jumps you will have to use your arms to generate the rotation. (try to keep the plane on which you swing your arms horizontal which ensures that the 360 does not go off axis)
And i have found the best time to release the coil built up buy you twisting your body is JUST as you boot has left the kicker. and then look over you shoulder, spot the landing. Fist in the air. ski over to the babe. give her a snog.

Everybody else pretty much overed it, just make sure to commit to spin and dont back off, i see kids make it to 180 and then panic a lot, so just commit to the spin and do everythin else people mentioned and youll be set

god snowking you are a fag you ask the same post 20 tmeis over and you have asked on tips on how to do 360's. somebody wants to learn how to do a trick that is for beginners and its a gateway trick to all the other spins. dont give him shit for wanting to get better. i bet you cant even do 360's cuz reading what you have writen you dotn know anything about skiing.

you are probably going ot fall. choose a nice soft day. pop of the lip, then start to rotate. look for your landing after 180-270 degrees. then stick it. dont worry about style until you are comfortable with just doing it

when i pulled my first 3, i actually landed it... surprising enough.. They way i did it (trust me, it didnt look pretty, but it was a start), was to cock my arms to my side (opposite of the way you spin), then as you launch off the lip, whirl your arms around to the other side of your body as fast as you can. The momentum will pull you around then just spot your landing and you got it. AGAIN... this doesnt look pretty, but it gets you comfortable.. after you get good at these, you should really need to cock your arms hardly at all, and you can through in grabs once you are comfortable with spinning.. hope that helps.

yeah just try them off every conceivable jump, lip etc. (they can be done with next to no air) and you're bound to get really comfortable with them in no time. What shellibabe said about looking back uphill at 180 really helps you stay on axis for loftier 3's, McDonnel taught me that at High North and it made my 3's a lot smoother and kind of stalled out.

seriously though. I hate these stupid questions 360's arent that hard. Mostly i hate these kind of questions when they are on the internet. But if you asked me while i was skiing i'd help you.

I just learned 3's last season. I think it made it easier cuz i learned 180's the first week of season . I just did 180's for about a week. I think it will help to learn those first if you can't already do one. And just basically look over your shoulder in the direction your spinning to speed up your rotation. Scary the first few times but then it becomes second nature. And like everyone else said the pop is a very important part to get you centered and balanced in the air.

waht size tables are you hittin, cause if its puss ass 5 footers u might as well butter to 180, but if u have any balls, a 3 on anything over 30 ft is not hard at all, in fact u should really have to set for a 3

first off its all in the hips, not all in the wrist dummy.

secound its more about confidence, dont be affraid to fall on your ass cause its gonna happen alot. when your not scared of falling, you will stick it.

and then you will be like boo ya, and after 3's the rest comes easy

start on small kickers and work up to big tables

start with your legs shoulder length apart, knees bent, with your leading arm(arm thats the same as the direction your gonna spin) in front of your body, pop off the lip and spin with your upper body and head first and your feet will follow

it wont work at first, youll probably land like 270 or 180, but each time, think about what you did wrong and try again

first of all get used to spinning. so just learn 180s u can like do em off the ground or anywhere really. then find a smaller kicker and wen your at the lip wind ur arms up and spin. u will most likely land ur first one if u can do 180s with your eyes closed. i landed my first one then i went back up did a 540 and kept going and the next day i did a 7. it really heps to just spin on smaller jumps cuz u get used to jumps and spinning off of them even if it doesn't got any style.  maybe thats just for me because im 13 and small..ER lol but w/e its not bad just invision your gonna do it. and just like jump and do a 360.like in your shoes.

first, do tons of 360s on flat ground without ur skis on....(like in ur bedroom or something) this is call muscle memory...the more you do them, the easier they become. Then, take it to the snow....i find that learning 3s is much more simple off of something like a roller than off of a real jump like a table because usually people learning 3s arent that comfortable in the air yet.....so do them off of something that gives you only like 5-6 feet of air, maybe even less. I also find that winding your arms to spin doesnt really help for doing small spins like 3s...in my opinion it just gets you off axis and off balance, so try not to wind your arms up. Now, approach the takeoff with minimal speed....just enough to cleat the jump with some air....as soon as you feel airborn, just turn your upper body, and turn your head, trying to spot you landing....your skis for the most part will follow your upper body when it twists, but you may have to swing your skis a little to get fully around if you dont get enough air or a hard enough rotation....the first couple of times you will probably land at 270 and either fall or sorta revert into a 3....just keep trying then and you will eventually be able to throw 3s off of practically anything.
Good luck!
