How to

Step by step
  1. You should already land 360 consistently.

    Approach at a moderate speed, about the same as your 360 takeoff, and ride straight into the lip. Since it is an airmat there is no need to worry about stopping, so just focus on adding a little more spin.

  2. Just before the lip, bend both knees to sink down and lightly wind your upper body the opposite way from your spin.

    Releasing that wind-up at takeoff loads the spin into your whole body.

  3. At the top of the lip, extend both legs and drive straight up.

    As you do, snap the chest and shoulders you wound up back toward the spin to feed spin into the takeoff. All of your spin is set the moment you leave the lip and cannot be added in the air, so build it here.

  4. Right after takeoff, pull both knees to your chest and wrap both arms in close to make yourself compact.

    The tighter you tuck, the faster you spin for the same effort. Skis are bulky because there are two of them, so squeeze your thighs together and stack both skis directly under your body.

  5. Send your eyes ahead in the direction of travel right off the lip, then spot the landing over your shoulder as you come around.

    Past the full-rotation point you will start to see the airmat behind you.

  6. A 540 (one and a half rotations) finishes switch (riding backward).

    Spin all the way through before you land (whether you ride off on your skis or take it on your back follows the facility's briefing).

Tips & common mistakes

Tips

Your spin is set at takeoff and cannot be topped up in the air, so steps 2 and 3 (pre-winding the chest and shoulders, then snapping them open) are what earn the extra half rotation of a 540. The knee tuck does not add spin, it just makes you compact so you spin faster.

COMMON MISTAKE

Not enough height to finish the spin → you are not extending straight up at takeoff, or your sink is too shallow. Bend the knees fully into the lip and extend both legs upward at the top.
