For reals. Whenever I try anything more than 360, I can't. I'm so used to spotting my landing for threes, I can't go anything more than them. Gimme some halpzzz/
 
so you also can't 540

also bringing up my point, just because you land straight doesnt mean anything. If your turning into the spin that much atleast one of your wheels still on the ground, its cheating and doesnt count. No one ever seems to count turning in as cheating, and still call the trick the original given number of degrees. Looks like shit, doesn't count.

So you have some asshole who wants to do a 360 who turns 90 degrees, does a 270, and lands straight. You call this to his attention. But everyones like. HE LANDED STRAIGHT IZ 360. Goes with all spins

I cant 720

i can spin it just fine, just never been able to land it good haha. there was one random week in 2007 when i had 630's dialed and did a 630 whip too. now i can't land anything past a 540 to save my life

Look over your shoulder, don't try to land it yet
just try to get the rotation
once you get that start pulling out of the rotation around 540 degrees

720's and 540's are some of the easiest tricks in the world. just learn 540's quarter to bank first, then do 720's off a flybox or something, & then get 540 airs on straight quarters.

The only thing you gotta do is get decent speed, turn your wheel the slightest bit as you hit the lip in the direction you spin. then just keep your head turned and keep your momentum.

540s- spin teh 360 fastt, carve into it and turn your head so that you can see the ground in front of you almost immediately. then you just float the rest of the way basically.

720- turn hard off the lip of whatever you're doing it off of, turn your head and keep it turned the whole way through, its hard to spot your landing for these. look over your shoulder, not down or up, otherwise you'll go off axis.

i was landing 720s yesterday out of a bowl i find that if u pull too hard thats when it goes off axis, try to let your 360s flow round into 540s just hold the 360 position till u hit the floor then keep pushing it round then u will get the spin. But i found that i looped out alot when i started getting it round so i kinda had to push down as i felt it coming round.

I can 540 pretty easily but that is as far as I can seem to get it round. When I try and spin harder I only get 540 again?
