How to improve my 3's

[Jonah-H]

Sooo, I'm a decent rider, but I can't do 360's worth shit. Like I can get them 1 in 3 tries or so, but they feel so awkward and I always feel off balance and bail in the spin. Any tips?

Tuck up your legs. Like, trying doing them over something, or imagine trying to clear something as you do them. That's what helped me when I was learning them.

well if your doing them flat, just try to get 270 at first (180 and a half), so at least your landing them just skatchy, after that you can get them cleaner and more consistantand yea pull up so that the deck stays under you. so basicly find your comfort spot maybe a little more than 180 and then just work from there to get it to 360

What helped me was to land on the back wheel at 270 degrees or so and pivot the rest.

Don't be a ------ commit. Turn your head and just keep turning until your wheels hit the ground.

This is good try and look where you're going to land.

its just a matter of practice and the amount of comitment you put into this trick.
I learned 360's about a year ago and im still not perfect with them but from what i can tell you its just a matter of practicing the trick and working on getting them dialed as much as you can.

I do the same sort of thing.
