1 Pick up a little speed. You should drive down a slight incline to gain speed more easily.
  • 2 Sit down slightly and reach up as you turn. To turn, turn your head, arms, and shoulders.
    • The jerk with your arms and shoulders will give you a strong pivot momentum, so focus on them to help you turn around.
    • Keep the skis parallel to each other during the turn. Feet should be shoulder width apart.
  • 3 Look up over your shoulder throughout the turn. Continue looking like this until you return to the starting position.
    • Don't look down at the ground. This can cause you to lose your balance and fall.
  • 4 Continue skiing down the slope. Your skis should remain on the ground throughout the turn. Continue exercising as you slide down.
    • Gradually add small jumps as you turn the 360. It will be good practice before doing 360 in the air.
  • Method 2 of 2: 360 Rotation in the Air

    1. 1 Find a springboard. When you start practicing 360, the springboard shouldn't be very high. Try to find one that few skiers use, as you need to be careful not to bump into other skiers when practicing the jump.
    2. 2 Prepare for a straight jump. Your feet should be slightly wider than shoulder level. Your toes should help you balance and maintain balance. Keep your skis parallel to each other. Lean forward with your whole body.
    3. 3 Wrap up before jumping. You need to sit down and wrap your arms to the side and back in the opposite direction of the rotation you are going to do.
      • This twist is important because it creates the momentum to turn in the air.
    4. 4 Jump up and roll in the air. As soon as you jump a little, immediately turn your skis in the air. Then turn your body in the direction in which you will make a 360 revolution.
      • The harder you scroll, the faster you will spin.
    5. 5 Focus on your landing point. First turn your head in the direction of your turn. While rotating, lock your head in this position, and once you have made a full turn, look at the point where you will land.
    6. 6 Complete the rotation. Once you have made a U-turn, extend your arms out to the sides to slow down the rotation.
    7. 7 Do not be pinched when landing. Shift your weight forward and do not pinch your muscles. Remember to relax to absorb the shock of the landing from your hips, knees, and ankles. Try bending your knees slightly to land softer.
    8. 8 Move to the side. If you want to stop, slow down so that you don't get in the way of others. If you plan to run 360 again, repeat these steps.

    Tips

    • Try to bounce and not spin too early. If you do this while still on the springboard, you can hook its edge with skis.
    • It is important to crouch and curl up before jumping, so you should practice this. Can wrap around and jump off the ground.

    Warnings

    • If you want to use snowblades instead of regular skis, follow the directions specifically for that type of ski.
    • Make sure that no one comes too close to you and does not follow you after you make the jump. If this happens, move to the side and let the person pass. Then return to do the jump again.
