Frontside 360 — Ground
A full frontside ground rotation returning to entry stance. The source balances rotational edge preparation with upward ollie and connects the later landing phase to Switch Backside 180.
Preparation and setting
Ground FS180, SWBS180 and a dependable ollie. Open 360 remains a separate source name until equivalence is checked.
Execution / application sequence
- Approach with a gentle, controlled rotational setup.
- Flex and prepare the shoulder movement without cranking the edge sharply.
- Release upward and bring the board into rotation.
- Keep the board beneath the body through the later, less visible part of the turn.
- Prepare the original-stance landing line.
- Absorb and stabilize before adding another movement.
Learning and practice
Combine understanding from FS180 and SWBS180, then practise single 360 attempts with a full reset. Do not link immediately into a press or second spin.
Errors and corrections
Too much edge with no lift: reduce the setup curve. Underrotation: improve coordinated release before increasing arm force. Continuing rotation after landing: organize alignment and quiet the upper body.
Observable checks
One full rotation is completed with a clear take-off and a controlled original-stance ride-away.

01
teaching summary — coaching review required
The lesson balances edge-generated rotation with upward ollie: excessive edge use trades height for rotation, while too little can leave insufficient rotation. It connects the blind landing phase to Switch Backside 180.

editorial review notes
Compare with Open 360 before considering an alias or merge; equal rotation amount does not establish identical mechanics.
