STEP 1: Before performing your 360 you will need to make sure you have enough speed to perform a full rotation of your body on your chosen obstacle.
STEP 2: Prepare yourself and steady your body on your snowboard as you approach the takeoff. At this point you will need to couter rotate your body to help with the roatation. It will also help to bend your knees and compress at this point.
STEP 3: As you leave the lip of the obstacle, you will need to perform an ollie on your snowboard and extend your knees. At this point you will need to begin rotating in your chosen direction. To make the rotation of your 360 on a snowboard easier, turn your head as you rotate to spot your landing.
