I've landed a couple of them but I hate doing them and I'm wildly inconsistent.

Basically what I did was stand halfway up the deck with both my feet almost completely sideways, jump, twist my body at an angle (while holding the bars at a 90 degree angle in the direction you're spinning) and just keep twisted toward the direction you're spinning.

If you're having trouble, maybe you're spinning the wrong way - try and spin to the right if you're regular, or the left if you're goofy.

Just go for it, wind up and look the way you want to spin. Try to find your landing over your shoulders. Your shoulders always follow your eyes when they are let to. It helps to keep pulling up on your deck too, so it is being pulled into your shoes. I had that problem at first. If you are going off a jump, you might want to lean forward a bit so you don't land on the back wheel and loop out.

Yeah, I loop out all the damn time on flat ground, it's weak as shit and deters me from trying them much.

seriously, just grow some and huck yourself around. Jump as high as you can and spin as fast as you can, but like with all tricks,you have to practice and commit.

i find when u do it pull ur bars up and crunch in your legs like you're jumpin really high , sorta dip your nose down a bit so your feet are not falling off, your probably like rocket ariing and and carving way to much, i used to do the same thing, dont carve a hella amount just enough to get you spinning, and the rest is just commitment!

they are easy bro..i learned em first day..maybe try finding a drop or curb..then go flat...flat i found was the easiest...get a good roll going...pivot frontside(I think they are easier)before ya leave the ground...keep pressure on the deck with yur feet using yur arms,pulling up...also make sure yur feet are not too ski...and make sure they are spread out a bit..and dont stiffing up..bend ur knees..and flow...
once ya start to carve to the direction of yur 360, leave pop off the groung and swiftly spin...and make sure ya turn yur eyes to the direction of yur land..good luck bro.. practice..
Oh and use yur hips...

ahh i love 360s, just look sort of around your arm or over your shoulder teh whole time, that way you can spot your landing and itll be easier to commit if you can see where your going and if youre gunna make the spin...dont carve a ton, just turn a bit to get the spin going and dont boner out, keep your legs kinda loose and maybe tuck a little bit
