180's & 360's

[Anthony Alonzo]

i have a problem landing my 180's and 360's,
i also spin frontside so i was wondering if that has anything to do with it, & any tips you could give would help!

180s are all about learning how to fakie well. that will help with the landing.
360s, what are you having trouble with on them? Are you taking a foot off? Not spinning enough?

Same problem on the 3s. i cant get the rotation

Joseph when you first start learning 360s you have to really commit to getting high enough and spinning as fast as you can.
When you first learn them you WILL land them sketchy they get cleaner with time i promise.
At first youll land on your back wheel and settle on your front. Thats ok but mainly just keep practicing and if you need to carve into the spin as much as you need to and as much that helps, youll learn to not carve as much when you learn them

 

[Joseph^^]

i usually just try them on a roll in because of the lack of coping. shouyld i try them on the quaters?

 

[Casey DeHaven]

I'd suggest learning them flat to tell you the truth
on a quarter its gonna be a lot more difficult
I can barely do them on quarters lol

The key to any spin is tucking up your legs when you're half way through..

Mikey , thanks for the help with 180's, and for 360's its usually my back foot comes off and ill land with one foot on the ground, but other than that i get the full rotation and everything.

You're not commiting. It's usually fear of falling. You gotta make sure those feet are on when you land. If you have to, try it with like a shoestring tied on your feet to keep them together on the scooter.

 

[Anthony Alonzo]

thats a good idea! thanks for the help, ill try that!

yeah i did the shoestring thing for 3's youll get them, just practice them flat
