How to

Step by step
  1. You need a solid backside 540 first.

    The whole sequence of launching, passing through the blind phase, and finding your landing is what a backside 720 is built on. Approach a medium slope at a steady speed, the same as your 540 or just a touch faster.

  2. Just before the lip, bend both knees and ride low, eyes toward the lip and beyond.

    Sinking low gives you room to extend and pop next.

  3. At the lip, drive through the balls of both feet and extend your legs to jump straight up.

    At the same time, pull your trailing (backside) shoulder hard behind you and turn your hips the same way. All of your spin is set in this single instant off the lip and cannot be added in the air, so build all the spin for the full 720 right here.

  4. The moment your board leaves the snow, tuck both knees to your chest and pull both arms into your center to get as small as possible.

    The tighter you pull your limbs in, the faster you spin on the same momentum, so you cut the long blind phase (the time facing backward with no view of the landing) short.

  5. Don't force a search for the landing.

    Lead with your face toward the direction you're spinning (where your shoulder pulled). Around the 540 mark, your direction and the landing start to appear.

  6. Once you see the landing, open your tucked knees and arms to make your body big.

    Spreading out slows the spin so you finish the last 180 exactly on time and stop.

  7. Land with the full base of both feet on the board, bending knees and ankles to sink into the airmat.

    The mat absorbs the impact, so you can rack up reps without fearing over- or under-rotation.

Tips & common mistakes

Tips

You can't add spin speed in the air. Pouring every bit of shoulder and hip turn plus leg extension into the instant you leave the lip is the top priority. Flailing to spin more mid-air only tilts your axis.

COMMON MISTAKE

Stalling out and stopping before you finish → not enough shoulder pull and leg extension at the lip. You can't recover in the air, so increase both the amount you pull your trailing shoulder and the force you jump straight up.
