Backside 360 — Ground

A full backside ground rotation using modest toe-side preparation and upward ollie.

HOW TO DO IT

Backside 360 — Ground

A full backside ground rotation using modest toe-side preparation and upward ollie. The cited lesson builds on BS180 and Half Cab, not on simply dragging a longer surface turn.

Preparation and setting

Ground BS180, Half Cab and reliable toe-side pop.

Execution / application sequence

  1. Approach with light toe-side control.
  2. Prepare shoulder rotation without excessive winding.
  3. Flex and release into a genuine upward ollie.
  4. Bring the board through the full turn beneath the body.
  5. Align the original-stance landing before setting an edge.
  6. Absorb and finish without a rescue pivot.

Learning and practice

Practise individual attempts with a reset. Use component half-turn awareness to organize the later phase instead of increasing arm force.

Errors and corrections

Flat low spin: improve pop before rotation demand. Sharp carve at departure: reduce edge setup. Underrotation rescued by edge dragging: reduce difficulty and restore alignment.

Observable checks

A full rotation and clear departure are visible; the final stance matches entry.

HOW TO DO IT

Backside 360 within a Carving Line

The original lesson places a BS360 within flowing carving, using turn load, preparation, ollie and aligned return. Its equipment example is descriptive rather than a universal board requirement.

Preparation and setting

Ground BS360, predictable carving and a clear line with space for landing.

Execution / application sequence

  1. Plan the turn and outgoing landing path.
  2. Use the turn load while remaining centred over the board.
  3. Prepare rotation without forcing a large axis tilt.
  4. Release into the established BS360.
  5. Align the board before receiving the next carve.
  6. Resume controlled turns and stop before another attempt.

Learning and practice

Insert a straight pop into a carving line before adding the known spin. Keep the first linked rotation small in scope and reset afterwards.

Errors and corrections

Excessive edge force tilts the axis: reduce the setup. Poor line leaves no landing room: revise approach. Immediate hard carve after contact: absorb and align first.

Observable checks

The spin has a clear landing and the line resumes deliberately. A stiff board is not assigned as a compulsory prerequisite.

01

Additional teaching summary — coaching review required

Carving-line context (S10, 神戸星竜): a backside ollie 360 integrated into a sequence of carving turns, keeping a centred organization rather than a large fore/aft transfer on his stiff-board setup; connects turn-derived support, preparatory winding, departure, airborne alignment and continued travel. Errors: overly strong edging introduces an unwanted axis; poor line choice interrupts the carve/trick flow. Board stiffness is example metadata, not a requirement.
