How can i get these? I carve 45° then i hop, turn my head, and land at like 400° what can i do?

no offence, but you started scootering like a month ago if that. im not sure if youre ready for 540s. that being said you just throw your upperbody whatever way you spin. i havent done one in ages but i find it easier to do them on a quarter, airing out and doing one.

and just practice like any other trick.

Get 360s flat super clean and effortless before trying 540s. They're a lot harder. Once you're getting there, just jump as high as possible and keep your head turned. Don't carve into the spin too much either, this can mess with your landing.

make sure you have everything clean and youre comfortable throwing them over obstacles first. do what Hunter and Brennan said aswell

I have been riding since 08 and I still can't 540.

Its not a basic trick like almost everyone else said, learn the basics first. Tail whips and bar spins are not the only tricks around.

Try throwing your body to try a 720, even though you won't. When you're spinning, you want to lift your body/scoot pretty high of the ground and you'll probably get it, but you really have to throw yourself to do it.

I barely do them anymore cause I probably can't, and I feel I'll face plant or fall sideways lol

I learned them flat before anywhere else cause it's easier

You should learn 3s better first. Just because you've done a trick doesn't mean you're ready for something harder.

No offense but 540s aren't the most original trick, they probably won't make you stand out.

If you still want to learn them, don't carve, just jump, turn your head and just hope for the best lol. You're not going to over rotate it.

540s are hard as fuck, I learnt really sketchy like 450s on my driveway 3 years ago and i still cant really land 540s flat.
As advice for learning them, a thing that helped me heaps is aiming to over rotate and like think your going to do a 600, this helped me manage to get from spinning like 450 to nearly 540. The key thing is really just practice though, its probably one of the hardest tricks to get dialed imo
