Sounds like you just need a bigger jump.

When I was learning I had trouble too. I actually learned on a really small spine so air time shouldn't be a problem. When you go off the lip make sure you kinda wind up a little bit and then when you actually spin, look over your shoulder in the directions you were spinning. It takes commitment because you're gonna be spinning more than you're used to so just go for it cause if you fall it won't hurt. Good luck learning and crashes are good because once you realize that your body isn't made of glass it opens a lot of doors for other tricks!

I found it was a commitment issue...when I nailed it it came around way easier and you get so much more comfortable. Bigger jumps are scarier but much easier as well I have found. Good way to get the air sense down

pop at the lip and set the spin a little harder than you would for a 180. if you fall, it wont hurt. good luck!

Solid pop+ spinning with your hips= 360

Just keep looking until you get around.

Don't launch yourself, keep your shins pressed into the front of your boots, pop as you reach the lift, look over your shoulder and spin with your hips and the rest of your body will follow. Practice.

I had this problem too, but when you do commit, make sure you stay forward. If you don't and you get used to staying backwards with the jump, you could have a big barrier getting over landing backseat.

Bend your knees and have your skis shoulder width apart. When coming up to the lip of the jump pop and look over your shoulder. Continue looking then spot your landing and you'll be able to wrap them around pretty easy.

It's all about committing and following through. A good spot to learn is like at the end of a half pipe or side of a small jump.

so first find a jump, next ski off the jump. Then do it again spinning. no but really you just need to learn it on your feet first and then just commit and keep looking over your shoulder because if you stop and look strait you will stop spinning so look around your shoulder until you get all the way around and then look straight. also you can wind up a little bit before the jump and then pop forwards with pressure on the boot hopefully this helps

I too had trouble with a seemingly easy trick I was at the point were I wold rather do a flat 3 or even a rodeo 5 over a 360 and not to be the douche bag know it all but do not wind up at all! As your hitting the kicker cliff whatever your going off you should lead into it, your body needs to be at 180 before your skis have even leave the snow, then when your skis leave its as if your doing a simple 180.

but I do agree on the fact that jump size is not the matter nor is commitment. your just making it to hard just look at it as 2 180s

i learned by just doing a 180 and trying to spot my landing from there pretty much and your body will just go naturally from there. The people that are saying you just need a bigger jump obviously don't ski in Illinois like I do. I literally learned to 3 off the corner of a hip, kickers onto rails, and little rollers. then again, that was during my blading days... I gaped hard

my friend told me to just spread your legs out, edge like crazy and look where you want to land, like when you pass the 180 point you want to look towards the ground in the direction youre spinning. I hope this helps.

I'm so glad fry keeps brett in check.

any way all the tips above are really good. Commit and your gonna have a good time.

Once you have landed a couple you will realize how easy and simple they are. Keep practicing!

make sure to spot your landing and stop the rotation in your shoulders and square them with your landing

if your spinning as hard as you think you need to spin for a 360 and only getting a 180, next time you hit the jump spin like you're going for a 540 or 720 and it'll probably come around (i hope that makes sense)

Thank you all guys, now i do 270s easy peasy and sometimes i land 360s in quite little jumps.
Next is 540, any suggestions? (or "just go bigger and spin harder?")

I was in the same position as you a couple seasons ago, all you gotta do is stay in your own mind and just dont think about anything or you'll bum out. just do it. NO RAGRETS
