Are you trying to 360 onto it, or 360 when your on it, like butter 3?

If he is, he is most likely digging his edges into the box. Just move your shoulders and head, and keep those skis together depending on how thin the box is. I would learn by just slowly getting on the box to where your barely moving and just throw your self around.

balance is a huge factor when spinning on boxes or any type of rail for that matter. I think that you might be leaning one way or getting unbalanced and catching an edge.

yes yes. Just slowly approach the box and start rolling around on it. It doesnt even have to be on your skis. Once you get comfortable with this a butter three will come naturally.

exactly, I learned them on a little T rail that had no jump up to it. It was about 8 ft long. I just slowly slid up to it and stepped on with one ski then popped the other around and boom, butter 3.

For me, bringing my feet closer together really helped.
