Now we're going to talk about Bunny Hop 360s. Once you have your Bunny Hop 180s down, 360s are pretty much the next logical step that you can take. It's actually considerably different doing a Bunny Hop 360 than it is doing a 360 off of a jump. It requires a much stronger pop and it really I think requires better form too because you don't have nearly as much time to spin it so you actually have to spin everything faster. The way that a lot of people first learn how to do Bunny Hop 360s is by doing 360 Tail Taps on flat ground which is when you do a 180, you land on your back wheel and you don't let your front wheel touch down. From there, you do almost like a fufanu and pick up and spin completing the 360. What that does, is it gives you a better sense of continuing that spin past 180 degrees so it's a pretty important step to take and if you're having trouble with your 360s, you might want to go back to that step because it really as I said it will allow you to regain a sense for the continuation of motion throughout the spin. For me, I personally think that the best way to learn Bunny Hop 360s is off of something flat into a very close to flat ledge. The reason that I say that is that it forces you to travel with just enough speed to make it into that wedge and what that does is it keeps you from whipping around too much and it gives you more of a sense of using a quick carve with your front wheel to generate that type of spin which is really going to be pretty helpful once you start trying to do Bunny Hop 360s over bigger stuff where if you're trying to do them down stairs or something where you need to control the speed a little bit more. If you're trying to just whip them around standing still pretty much, you're just not going to learn to develop that same amount of control.
