How 720

[freeskibrian]

I can 540 easily, i just have issues pulling the last 90 around on the 720, i always land on my side, can i get some advice?

I can give you two opinons that are kind've "easy" answers but this what i'm assuming

1. Either throw it harder

2. You need a bigger jump.

get a good spot downhill at 360, then the somewhat harder part is getting used to letting yourself bring it around like a second 3 again.

If spinning faster is the problem, throwing in a grab, and bringing knees/feet together a little more will speed you up. Also starting with them a little wider will work in the same way (centripetal acceleration right there). Same goes for your arms, but I'm sure that is a little more obvious

I had the same problem falling on my side, and it still happens time to time on really poppy jumps. Make sure you carve hard off the jump with lots of speed, grab safety, and hold the grab till the last 90 degrees

 

[cheaaaaaa]

oh yea, the reason you land on your side is because you are used to be looking at the landing as you spin from 360-540 (it works with a 5, but not a 7). keep your head up by not looking down at the landing at 540... it throws ppl off balance

Commit.

Keep looking over your shoulder and don't open up, you're mind fucking yourself that's honestly all it is.

Ahh i get you know, I had the same problem learning to 360 on my wakeskate, my head would throw me off balance

You are probably hitting the jump with the same speed and rotating as fast as you do for a 5. Then you are trying to whip around your 2nd 3 harder to get around. My advice is to spin faster on your first 3. It is easier to stall out your 2nd 3 if you are going to over rotate than it is to land if you are cranking it around too fast. Faster spin = harder to spot landing.

Give it and keep track of how many rotations are done. My trick is to use your arms to speed up or slow down the spin

do a 9

thank you for this thread I was about to make it and then get called unthinkable things

 

[backseat.bandit]

I forgot what it is technically called but when you have a very wide stance on the jump and after you pop bring your legs together. It like gives you shitloads of rotational force or something

 

[Filmore]

this did it for me

 

[raull]

spin harder on the takeoff. i know i know..your mind is blown right now.

 

[AT-AT]

I break it up into two 360's in my mind

1) Throw it a little harder off the lip, and spot the lander after the first 3.

2) for the second three i pop my hip through and that usually carries my though the rotation.

whether i take it to my feet or not....
