Learning The Trick
General Overview
Spinning one and a half times around (540 degrees) in the air with a grab to your ski's tail.
Preparation
Before you try a 540, make sure you’ve got your 360’s and 180’s dialed.
Doing It
Once you set your spin, get into a tucked Iron Cross. After you’re crossed up, look over the shoulder opposite to your spin and find your tail. Grab the tail with your trailing hand and pull it into the spin, just like a 360 Tail Grab.
Keep looking over your opposite shoulder while still pulling the tail into the spin. Now you should be coming through the 360 spin. It is important to keep looking at your landing while you travel backwards. If you keep your eyes on your landing, you shouldn’t over rotate.
Finishing
Make sure you center your weight for the landing. Touch your tips down first, then your tails.
Mastering The Trick
Adding Style
Go big, tweak your grab and smile, that is the definition of style.
