TricKs To KnoW BacKside 360s

Two key things to remember when you're learning backside 3s is to leave the lip on your toe-edge, and rotate your upper body to help initiate your spin. If you gauged your speed correctly by doing a couple speed checks on the runway to the jump, you shouldn't have problems reaching the landing.

Standing up and stomping takes practice, so start small and work your way up to full-size tabletops. Also, spread your arms like a bird at first for more balance in the air. After that you can start tucking your body and going for the cork style!

Backside three

Yo, here's the tip

You gotta have speed

Also needed is a lip

Turn backside a bit before you leave the apparatus

Utilize this technique

And your three will be the baddest

Bomb the jump and go, hands in the air

Keep turning and looking for the landing

When you see it, you're there

And if you hope to earn props by the end of the week

Then grab your board and break off a tweak

Stop the rotation and line your board up with the snow

Throw down a stomp

This is the shred tip, yo!
