SKATE HACKS2:38
Practicing BS 360s by SKATE HACKS is a skateboarding tutorial for the Backside 360. A practice-session breakdown that frames the backside 360 as essentially a fast 360 shove-it scoop, encouraging experimentation with toes hanging off versus on the board, and suggesting off-board spin drills for skaters who get disoriented.

Key tips
- Treat the trick as a 360 shove-it scoop motion done from the board, that is the core mechanic
- Try both back-foot positions, toes hanging off the tail or fully on the board, and use whichever grips better for your setup
- Wind your arms hard like a helicopter before popping to start the rotation early
- Aim to stay in place rather than jumping several feet away and landing somewhere else
- If the spin feels uncomfortable, practice the same winding and twisting motion without the board first
- Get comfortable with the full body twist off-board, then reapply it with the shove-it scoop concept
- Expect to need a lot of repetition, this trick rewards raw practice volume
- Watch for dizziness and pace your practice sessions accordingly
