Hey everyone,
So I've had a great winter.. snowboarder plenty (went to killington)

Now I'm ready to go out and shred some calm water Surprised

So last year I learned to clear the wake every time, reverts, most grabs, and indy tweaks...
I tried ollie 180's but i can't seem to get in the air long enough...

Now this year I wanna land a 360..
I wanted to last year but I never got the balls to do it Question

I just wanna know how you got the balls or sucked it up enough to learn how to do it...

I'm thinking of maybe learning them and landing them in the middle of the wake and than trying them farther and farther until i wake 2 wake it.
Will a tower help at all?

Or should I learn 180's first (im terrible at switch)

Thanks guys

Learn the 180's, its only going to help in your future riding and progression. As for the 3's, dont take them too big at first, it can cause you to get pulled off balance. The biggest thing it to make sure you are completely in the air before initiating the rotation, otherwise be ready for a mean facesmack. Try frontside first, then work backside.
