i no theres probably 10000 threads on this site talking about 360s but i havent found ne dealing with this, I have landed quite a few 360s but still am pretty incosistant with them.....some days i go out and i stick every1 that i throw and ride away just without the handle, and other days i go out throw them and i get the handle pass, but i go way off axis and land on my back and it hurts like hell, if anyone knows why please help me out

When you land with out the handle you are probably worrying about the spin to much and so you are spinning perfectly but you forget about the handle and it just drops when you are backwards or something. When you get the pass down fine you are probably not worried about the spin and are spinning off the wake and throwing it to hard which would put you off-axis. Practice the pass on a trampoline and staying straight up and on the jump just don't spin until you pop and then worry about the handle pass. It might just be a mental thing but what do I know?

jflo452, learn a 180 with both hands on the handle...when ppl try the 360 they usually throw one hand way out there....its impossible to get the handle pass when ur hands are way spread apart.

pass the handle under your but, that will ensure that your hands don't go to far outside of your body and throw you off axis.

the reason you're going off axis is because your spinning off the wake or too early.

Is there any trick to a wrapped 3? cuz I have a wrap handle and why the hell not. My problem is that I can't cut out very far, and I find it akward going off the wake wrapped. Even though going off the wake wrapped I'm just gonna have to get the feel for there probably isn't anything you can tell me to make it feel less akward.
