Jon Goemann links the back 360 setup to tricks skaters likely already know, ollie impossible and pressure flip, placing the back foot in that same scooping pocket, and stresses keeping your head down and looking straight down through the spin instead of trying to spot the landing.
Key tips
- Set your front foot a little below the bolts and your back foot in the same pocket you use for an ollie impossible or pressure flip
- Treat the motion as a scoop: press down and scrape the tail up and around rather than a flat pivot
- Wind your shoulders hard before you scoop to power the rotation
- Keep your head down and look straight down through the spin instead of trying to spot your landing
- Expect trouble dialing in exact rotation amount at first, both under- and over-rotating are common early mistakes
- Drill the scoop motion on its own before worrying about completing the full spin
- Build the trick in this order: scoop first, full rotation second
