I know there are a lot of threads about 360 help but i havent found one that tells me why i am landing backseat every time. I can do the rotation thats not a problem but i cant land standing up.
 
You're talking about on skis right, not flatland?

Think about it: the vert of the jump is tilted at an angle. So if you pop perpendicular to the tranny, then you will land backseat on the landing, which is sloped downward.

So think about actually popping forward (like the guy above me said). Lead with your head and spot early.
 
when you are rollin into and popping off the lip make sure you have a lot of forward shin pressure that should do the trick you got it son
 
they say putting your arms up after the spin helps you balance back out, i will have to try this
 
pop! you got to pop Hard, and do lots of them! lots and lots like 17, run after run! at the end of the day you will have them down! and then you wont need to pop as hard.
 
youve been on this site over 3 years and have 8000 posts and you still cant do 360s?
do you spend all of your time on newschoolers in the winter rather than skiing? goddamn!
 
have your weight on your toes when you pop off the lip, then when your at 180 look back uphill at wear you dropped in from...not down at your toes.(dont stay looking uphill though, its just a quick look then look over your shoulder to spot the landing)
 
heres a vid on how to 360http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zllVzu43rNE&feature=relatedalso try leaning a little bit forward and make sure to pop off a jump
 
ya man i totally sympathize with u.

i was having this problem a lot a while ago, and i find that it has a lot to do with the jump.

hitting a bigger jump might work, but not too big, also, spotting ur landing properly helps. i dont know what to say about pop and setting ur rotation, cuz i just do all that instinctively, but try it on a different jump
