Hi guys,me here again!
I'm dialed all trick from last season today (i started this season late,1st of June was like winter time,now its hot like hell),and i want to try out 360 FS HS on the kicker.Kicker is positioned for goofy HS approach,i want to try it that way.I have 180's off it totally dialed,picking out loads of line tension and pops,now im actually bored with it so i want to try out something new on that kicker.Since i didnt asked anybody for it,nor tryed it,can some of you guys explain it like a trick tip?I would be very thankfull

Hey Eks,
I guess there's a couple of ways that different people would teach this trick, but I'll explain it the way that I know worked for me. For a kicker HS FS 360, approach the kicker like you would for a grab and make sure you get a good pop off the top of the kicker.
The main difference for me is pulling the handle in to my back hip with BOTH hands as I am HALFWAY up the kicker. Not only does that make it easy to get the handle pass, but it also actually helps me delay my spin (previously, I would throw my lead shoulders around right off the top of the kicker, which causes me to spin too early). I used to try to pull the handle in after I have left the kicker, but I find that it throws me off. So make sure you pull the handle in as you are riding up the kicker. In fact, on the approach, you could actually let your arms out a little more, so that you have more leverage to pull the handle in. If your handle is too tucked into your body, there's really not a lot of room to pull the handle. Once you are comfortable landing the spins, I guess you could delay pulling the handle in bit by bit to make your spins go a little bigger.
If you are able to make the handle pass but landing on your ass most of the time, you're probably edging away too much. Try riding up towards the top-left corner of the kicker, instead of the center or top right. That will help you ensure you are not putting too much weight on your heels riding up the kicker.
Try it out and let us know how it goes. Post up a link to your video attempts if you can.
Good luckl!

Here's a slow-mo clip. Notice that I pull in the handle on the way up the kicker. Also, my posture is kinda leaning forward on the approach, keeping my weight directly over the board, instead of putting weight on the heels. You don't have to lean over as much as in the video, but I think you get the point.

Here is it,combined with not so stable 360 on table top,but hope it doesnt matter
And one more thing,happened AGAIN with this trick...it seems that i get new tricks VERY fast (i did this one from first try,and many others),but after some time i keep falling it,ridicilously.Everybody is telling me that its just about my mind,not that i do something wrong,but what i can do about it?
Today early in morning session,i landed TS 540 three times,and after that,more i fall,the attempts are getting worst,and im at the point now that i cant do normal TS 360.Very wierd,and i hate it

Nice work... yes sometimes when you think too much about a trick, it makes it worse. Best is to try something else and get back to it at the next session.
Which cable park is this anyway?
