The other day i was pulling 3s n 1s at my house on a little jump i built. It was just a little ramp and i'd land on a hill so i dont kno exactly how big it was, kinda depended on my speed. But whenever i tried 540s i'd always not get around, but i know i have the tork to be able to do it. I can pull 3s offa like a foot of air. Anyone help?

you're prolly opening up for the 3 from instinct, lots of people do it. Its a learning wall you have to break to get past 3's. Some people do it naturally, but a lot have to actually work on it, it's like riding a bike once you get it thoug. Just hold the spin and look over the shoulder, concentrate on not opening up for the 3 and dont be afraid to land switch.

Yeah, for me it was a mental thing geeting past 360... landing 180's will help you get used to landing switch...
I've encountered the same mental block at every 180 degrees so far, 540, 720, 900...
Just concentrate on continuing the spin and not opening up early

yeah. I hit that same mental block once I hit my 1440's.

Worrying is like a rocking chair. It gives you something to do, but in the end, it doesnt get you anywhere. Write that down.

270 off is hard shit for some poeple to do because of the 'block', it took me forever but now it's pretty dialed.

k, thanks. And im not afraid to land fakie i land fakie off most rails n boxes and i do 180s on tables and just jib around and pull a lot of em on the side of trails and stuff. It's prolly just the mental barrier.

yeah you do. my first 5 was over a 45 foot table. just focus on keeping your rotation going and you'll be fine.

just stay tucked while in the air and when you reliaze that you're back was going down the hill open up and land it with ease.

stand on the ground and throw a 5. it'll take some practice, but then you'll get the feel for it.

take this advice, it worked really well for me, pretend your doing a 3 onto lik something in the middle of the air, the last 180 will definetley come, just dont look at the ground at 360, spotyour landing at like 400-450 degrees or at 270

270 off was weird for me cause I did it once, but i got in te backseat and washed out. I had to go home after that cause I was pissed. then the next time I tried 270 out(backside), I kept landing switch and not going the extra 180. Once I got aroudn it, it was fine.

do it off a jump that doesnt suck and think about it like a 540. Commit to it. know you're gonna rotate past 3. It'll feel wierd for a bit. getting past 3 is one of the hardest things to learn. well not really
