Title: How to do Backside 360s on Flat Ground

Step 1: Understanding the Balance Point

  • The most important part of performing a backside 360 on flat ground is knowing your balance point.
  • Focus on rotating a little bit and transferring your weight to your back foot on the heel side as you pass 180 degrees.

Step 2: Practice Popping from the Balance Point

  • Start by practicing popping from the balance point where your weight is on your back foot and on the heel side as you approach 180 degrees.
  • Aim to reach your back foot comfortably at this point to prepare for the full 360 rotation.

Step 3: Increase Height and Speed

  • Once you can comfortably reach your back foot at the balance point, work on increasing the height of your pop and the speed of your rotation.
  • The key is to make the rotation feel easy and effortless by maintaining your balance throughout the trick.

Step 4: Focus on Balance

  • Whether you are attempting a 360 or any other trick, the key to successful rotation is maintaining balance.
  • Even during a fly out or a 360, keep focusing on the balance point on the heel side of your back foot, especially when you are in midair.

Step 5: Practice and Repeat

  • Keep practicing the backside 360 on flat ground, focusing on your balance point and the smoothness of your rotation.
  • With consistent practice, you will improve your technique and be able to perform backside 360s with ease.

Remember, mastering skateboarding tricks takes time and practice, so be patient with yourself and enjoy the process of learning and improving your skills.
