Surface 360s

What it is

By this point you should be a master of powerslides! This is going to make the surface 360's very easy! We are going to learn both frontside and backside in this tutorial!

How to do it

1. Backside
2. Have a gentle heelside edge to initiate a backside powerslide
3. Stay low and make the handle pass
4. Allow the cable to bring you round to switch
5. Finish the rotation off with the switch frontside 180
6. Frontside
7. Start off with a nice and slow surface frontside 180
8. Initiate a switch backside powerslide (Make sure not to rush this part!)
9. Make the handle pass and finish the rotation

Common problems

• I keep taking a backedge every time I try. The key to learning the surface 360 is to really make sure that you are taking it slow. Try to avoid pulling hard on the handle which is going to create slack and remember to always stay low.
• I keep edging away from the cable. Again, practice locking in to the frontside and backside powerslides. Knowing how to get your board to slide rather than edge is very important on this one!
