but dont over rotate, underrotating is better

Agreed. But actually it is better to learn how to control the landing by bending legs. When you are underrotating just bend them more than when you are overrotating (straighting the legs is the way out, but it is harder to keep balance this way after the landing, so underrotating is better)

edit: oh yes, the height of stairset plays big role in calculating the rotation

Nah, that 6 is the biggest one Ive done, I barely rode street since then. My point was not to have it done over a big set, but to make it easier for me. I can do basic stuff like barspins, whips and doubles down stairs up to 7 consistantly, but I land one footed all the time when I try to 360 them.
