I just got back into skiing and this weekend I learned 360's. Now the snow around here is kinda scarse so the table wasnt that big. I got really comfortable doing 3's so I decided to step it up. Threw the 5 with a saftey grab and landed sideways, 3 F-ing times. My shoulder is killing me. How could I spin it faster? More air might help but I was landing toward the bottom of the landing so going any bigger might hurt even more.

 
If you have skates try it with those. Otherwise i would suggest putting shoes on and jumping off that same table and spotting the landing. If you just look at the landing you'll naturally spin faster. Also tuck as much as possible. If all else fails, build a kicker or go to a park on a mountain nearby. Have fun.

learn it straight, and since u got some experience with fallin, (btw that aint an insult)stretch before you hit the jump, and don't be afraid to huck ureself too much. Remember one thing, chiks dig scars. I have no clue why i just said that, i guess its cuz i am full of shit, and other substances. And easier way could be to hit it switch, since what happens is that u won't be so preoccupied with the landing, and u will automatically start to turn, just add more power

Cant we all just get along, fuck that, can't we all just get a bong
 
launch and tuck. throw ur shoulder and uypper body into it and tuck like a mother f-cker.

The problem is that you're probably trying too hard. If you swing your arms alot when you take off trying to get more momentum, you will only throw yourself off axis and sideways. Carve into it, and try not to use your arms so much. Spotting the landing is key too.

I could throw harder with my arm but like what was just said, I might get off axis. I think I just need a little more air...

 
go bigger thats what i did, i landed my first one of a windlip when i was pissed off.

just think 5, and skip the grab. When i throw 5's, i just spin, and then once i get 360, i just look down, then everything goes another 180 and then you hit. I just rember when i was struggling with 5's someone told me, just think 5, it sounds dumb, but it worked for me.

i was throwing switch 5's and regular 5's the other day and for some reason the switch was more consitstant for me

dont spank the monkey
 
yeah don't try to grab right away, don't wind up and try too hard though because you might get screwed up. I used to wind up to much and it would screw me up

 
keep looking over your shoulder, i usually spot my landing at 270 and just keep looking until i rotate the whole thing
