Whatever i do i can do a 540 its jsut i cant get the rotation around, we will build a huge kicker and i get around the 360 but nothing more does anyone have any advice?

 
last friday i was skiing and i told my friends i was going to do a 5 over that spine at the bottom, and i went and i stuck it perfectly. just do a 3, look at your landing then keep going. they are easy for me, now i have to do a 7, they are hard.

 
im working on them to just get more speed and have yourself set to do it mentaly...also think about your landing and plan on busting the first couple of times. my first one i ate it pretty bad.

If you can get threes it is really easy, just spin like a normal three and keep turning your head to get the extra 180. You shouldnt even need to wind up before hitting the jump.

540's are easy, today I did one by acciedent, I was going for a three, but ended up in a five position. I wasn't expecting to land backwards but I did, it was a little sloppy, but I made it. 720's arn't much harder, but i've been having trouble with them latly, I get too much backseat.

Just think of landing backwards. Set up to spin harder than a 360 and just visiualize yourself landing backwards and about continuing your rotation, thats what helped me.

just whip it as hard as you can and you will get around. also, make sure you arent trying to learn this on an icy day. Maybe you live out west and dont get any ice.

The first 540 I tried I landed it fine, the second one I landed a little off and fell, then the third time I totally caught my edge and nailed my butt super hard and lost both of my skis and I just laid there for a couple seconds it hurt so bad. I haven't tried them any more yet (I haven't had the chance) so I'd reccomend doing 360, 540, 360, 540, etc so that you keep your form good with the 360's. I'm not sure if that made sense, but whatever.

 
lol yeah man... u guys inspired me... im gonna try a 540 out there some time... but i havin trouble with the lading fakie while on a slope... any advice about that part? like i dead afraid to fall backwards, so i end up leanin forwards too much i think. so when i go to stomp i lean forwards too much and my bindings clip out. what can i do?

do 180's so you dont have to worry about ur rotation and just focus on the landing and spot ur landinglook over your right shoulder depending on spin and look down at the landing

On switch landings, i like to look down just in front of my binding. It has really helped me out, so now all i have to learn is how to take off switch well.

 
Is it better to start fakie and do a 540 and land forwards? I havent tried a 540 yet but I'm thinking of trying just cause 3's are pretty easy for me now...

 
yeah, i don't think 5s are that much harder to get around, but they're hard to land. i've done 3 540s, but only landed ZERO of them. hope to land one in the pipe at copper soon!

 
just do really really big slow 1's and get used to landing backwards, then just spin harder and nail off the 5, thats how i did it and it worked...expect to hash it a few times but after that they're not that tricky

 
i dont htink you'd need a lot of air for a 5. if i can spin 3s with like a foot of air, its only another half spin. so just huck hard.
