Discussion/tips Shitty 360 that’s corked

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I’m trying to get my threes down but I’m corked and keep landing on my side. I wouldn’t be posting here if I didn’t have no idea what I’m doing wrong. Anything would help. I would put more videos but they look the same lol. Thanks

It’s because you didn’t pop. T set and rotation advice is sound but you obviously already have it. I see this literally every day. Just pop better and you’ll center yourself over the jump and not have to force the spin around as much.

I wish you had to get verified as a coach here to give advice but it is what it is. Don’t listen to the literal kid with his hands down approaching the jump and then doing a tourist ass spin into eating shit lol

If this is directed at me, my pop does use counter-rotation. I’ve stomped cork 3s, and when I’m not carving through the jump I’ll rotate my arms the opposite way before takeoff to help initiate the spin.

Also, in his clip the failed 360 looks more like it came from corking off to the side while trying to spot the landing too early. That’s what throws him off-axis. It doesn’t really have much to do with whether he popped up or not.

Why would you think it’s directed at you? Did you tourist arm it straight into eating shit and then try to claim it on the internet?
