ive been skiing since I was 2, and can ski pretty much any in bounds run on my local hills (Snoqualmie, stevens, crystal)comfortably. I have some armada halo 2s which seem to do the trick in pow and especially for park and ripping all mtn. any ways I recently have started to get in to park and tricks, and need to know how to 360. I can 180 on small jumps easily, but want to know what the trick is when you 3. I see all these people just spin a steezy quick 3 on a tiny side hit like its nothing. how do I do this?? whats the minimum sized jump id be able to land a 3 on. help

funny im a local skier at stevens. but when i was starting I found the most important thing is to keep rotating and not spot your landing at 180. start by airing out of the end of a half pipe. its easiest to learn here because it forces your body in the right direction.

Exactly just make sure you lean forward get a nice pop and keep looking in the direcation youre spinning until you come around at 360. Imo it's easiest to learn on a smallish or medium jump
Make sure you have pressure on the tongues of your boots, that'll help you to not land backseat.
Spin around your shoulder - don't look under your arm or over your shoulder because that could make you go off axis, which isn't what you want.
Carve a little bit into the jump(but not too much) if you're worried about not rotating all the way, and just keep looking around your shoulder till you spot the landing.

just jump and spin around and land.

try just jumping and spinning with out a jump and see how much effort it takes to 180 or 270 then use that as a guide for how much effort you need to do it off a jump

firstly get shit together.
practice on a jump similar to the middle jump or big first jump at stevens.
You have to get your muscle memory to click, so go try it.
get small and suck your legs in. think in degrees where you are, and cominsate by getting big. It all happens fast so it is best to go for it without thinking.
All your doing when you think is monologuing, which doesnt help muscle memory.

I just recently learned 360s and I had a lot of problems with them so I'll just explain what I did to finally start landing them.
The first thing that I was having trouble with was staying upright. I'd always either fall backwards or fall to the side. I was falling back because I wasn't leaning forward on the takeoff enough, and falling to the side was just kind of a last thought/commitment thing. It was kind of a mental barrier I guess.
Once I fixed that I wasn't getting the spin around and it was because I was focusing too much on how forward I should be. Once it started happening it fixed itself though because I started focusing on the spin too once it started happening.
Also, the first few days after I learned them I couldn't stop putting my hand down when I landed. Doing them over and over again fixed this.
And to answer your question about the size of the jump; it depends on how much air awareness you have. It'll be easier to get the spin around on a bigger jump, so if you can comfortably hit bigger jumps then I'd hit a decent sized jump. Too small wont get the spin down and too large will give you time to lose your balance

Whip it. Don't stop at 180. I learned them on small side jumps, and same with 5' and now with practice i can bring them to the biggest jumps easily (just got to slow them down). Just keep practising brotha, you will get them.
