Backside 360

The backside 360 is a full rotation spinning with your back toward the downhill side. It's often considered harder than frontside because more of the spin is blind. But many riders actually find the takeoff more natural because of the heel-edge approach.

Key tips

• Solid backside 180s are a prerequisite
• Commit to the full rotation — bailing at 270 is worse than over-rotating
• Look over your leading shoulder to initiate, then keep your head turning
• The landing comes into view around 270 degrees — spot it
• Stay compact through the spin, open up for the landing
