instead of sort of tucking like with 180's try kind of extending your body and pullingup and around on the bars if that makes sense

carve into it a bit when you are first learning them, then slowly stop carving in and youll get it. jump high and spin fast. also if you still cant get it, land back end first so you pivot a little bit and once you get confortable stop carving as much and dont pivot.
 
haha kenny.

when i spin i usually wind my body up the opposite direction, then i'll throw it back, turn and jump.

if you still want to use your own style and not wind up, then you could also try turning you hips at the last second to finish the rotation.
 
In RVM 2 ( I think ) Josh Toy had tips for 360s. He said look behind your shoulder. I talked to this BMX guy about 360s and his tips were the same. I still can't land mine but I know its lack of practice. Do what John Radtke and all those tips which you think are useful.

Good luck!
 
look over your shoulder. it helps soo much. and it also helps when you are doing it of ramps, and throwing excess spins into a jump.

i have days where sometimes i can 360 perfect and even land 720s sometimes and theres some days i cant do them at all
 
Hmm , if you want to take Ethan's tip , just try it everyday if you ride everyday.Oh and you can do a pivot at the end too ( like someone said ) but I don't want to do it pivots. It could give me bad habits and I could fall back and stuff. Just do it the proper way with no pivots no crap. Thats the way I try it.
