360's off ledges?

[Bennett_J]

I have had them flat on and off for a while now, recently I finally got them dialed as hell so I have been attempting them off ledges, any advice to help me learn them a tad quicker?

Try building up get he dialed off curbs then ledges then stairs. I really focus on spotting my landing. What exactly is the problem? Not spinning fast enough? Spinning too much? Feet coming off?

Spotting the landing is everything.

Back foot comes off too much

approach the ledge at a good speed, jump away from the ledge (make sure you don't clip it), spin fast and pull up on your bars so they don't come out from under your feet, spot your landing. PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE!!!!

Commit.

Spot your landin.

Your backfoot comes off because you're not comitting or it's just a habit. Practice practice practice. Hope this helped

I've been scootering for 3 days and I got flat 3's no problem but everytime I try them off like a foot tall ledge I just can't stay on the scooter. Like it always just swings away from me. I can 180 off lots of stuff but not 360.

Know where you are going to land. That is important. Know where your going to jump. That is important. Mix the two together with a bit of practice and you should be fine. One tip might be to bend your knees before jumping as well.

Like for 360's down big ledges and stairsets, do you turn into it still?

This afternoon Im going to try putting less of my heel on the deck, hopefully that will help some, it did with the flat shit haha

And ill hit up a 3-4ft ledge today to get them dialed, thanks for the help

Also: I am not a big fan of stairs whatsoever, I have done up to 6's but I hate the height + distance that they are (For everything above a 4), Height is no problem, ledges are my bitch but jumping distances is just some weird thing I cannot do

 

[Scott Freibaum]

As you take 360 to stairs and ledges I don't turn into them as much at all.

Just get them as dialed as possible of a curb and flat.
And pretend the ledge your doing on is just the curb, and you will do it.
Remember just practice!

Noooooo, do NOT carve into 360s unless you're learning them. That is a surefire way to get a formal meeting between the ground and your face going. Not fun.

You want to be able to ride straight, jump, spin, and land riding straight again.

^^^^this

It helps me to pull up on the bars in the air past the first 180.

Keep head turned, spot landing, commit, lift up front wheel first, then lift up back wheel after you start to spin. Commit.





Commit.

idk if this makes sense, but do like a sideways tuck... like when you do a 720 really fast, you make ur whole body kinda skinny, and straight up. And then when you get to around 270, stop the "tuck" and try and be fat (doesnt really make sense but w/e), or "less skinny", so u dont overspin. underrotating isnt a big deal, u just gotta turn ur wheel a bit. When i first tried 360's down a 6 set, my problem was overrotating. i would land like a 380 (cuz i was used to spinning fast, like flat), and i ate shit. also, when you are approaching your "obstacle", carve a TINY bit, and like brandonweir said, lift front and then back wheel. Commit.

BTW, took me like 7 tries down the 6 set, just for an idea

Look around your arm not over your shoulder, keeps you on the deck and level, once, you 90 you can see where your gonna land
