Been sussing 360's out the top of this bank lately… Wasn't till I filmed this that I realised I was barely even getting off the ground 😅. I (think) I know what I should be doing; compress, carve, turn head, hop… But I'm struggling to get any height. I can hop over 3 cones stacked on their sides (maybe 2 ft?) with ease, but when I'm rotating I definitely aren't getting anywhere near that.
Help? What am I missing?

Idk how to explain it just seems like you start the 360 a little early on the bank so it’s not really throwing you off the lip, you’re kinda rotating up n over it instead. The front wheel catches the pop off the lip as you’re already pretty deep into the carve
1. As was said – a little bit early
2. Carve presented – with this kicker it should be more “aggressive”
3. Try get yourself comfortable with steeper kicker. It will give you some extra time, figure you’re using honestly not enough for learning
4. If you have air (small quarter pipe with flat) I strongly recommend you spending time to learn 3 on this figure first, then you will easily transfer it to kicker and to flat.
Looking at small kicker, I feel, park makes you not so comfortable. Spend some time just learning how to ride not being afraid at least small quarter pipes, doing air, and all of the tricks the will go much easier.
