Lay it out more, you won't have to huck it as hard. Just hit the jump a few times and you'll probably get a feel for what you need to do.

Odds are you'll just land a little backseat but if you can do 3s off smaller things already the only advice we can give you is to go for it! After 2 or 3 tries (maybe even first try) you should have em down

It will be easier on a bigger jump. First time trying a 3 on a bigger jump I overshot it and did a 540 and 1/2, so a 630. . . Needless to say I did a lincoln loop when I hit and died.

It's cool that you're progressing to bigger jumps but don't over think it, it's just a 3. Lean forward and you'll be fine.

20 ft is probably bigger than your used to so you'll be going faster and it'll probably feel weird the first time. Just remember to keep your stance wide, and your shins against the front of your boots. Pop hard, THEN spin, but you have more time in the air so don't throw it as hard.

Stay balanced and look out at the horizon to keep yourself leveled in the air.

Good luck!

I have an issue with my 360s. They aren't constant. I can get them around on a 15 ft kicker 90% of the time, but A: I have to spin as hard as I possibly can to do so and B: 50% of the time I slide out of it the same direction of my spin. Any help? I want to try 5's but it seems like I have to spin as hard as I can already only to get a 3.

Step 1. wind up but dont go off balance.
Step 2. Pop then spin your hips.
step 3. If you spin left throw your right arm up. if you spin right throw your left arm up.
Step 4. twist your head.
step 5. Land it

Also get a good amount of speed of the jump. I ski at 7 springs too 360s there are easy once you get them.

YAH Landed my first frontflip in the alley

I got my first 3 yesterday on like a 10 footer.  Did that like 3 times solid and moved to a 35 footer.  Just dont go to slow and commit IMO it was just about the same on the bigger jump except i kept leaning a little too far back and having to drag my hand for a bit.  Just go for a big jump and float it out you'll be able to spot your landing way easier than you think.
