360 flips

ok, i have 3 problems with the 360 flip:

1. The board spins exactly 290 most of the time: either im spinning it only 290 or thats when i land causing the board to stop there.

2. Due to the 360 degree scooping force my body becomes twisted, making it hard for me to land it since im on a different angle.

3. Most of the time the board ends up behind me. Many times so far, I had a perfect 360 flip motion with the board but landed it with my back foot on the front truck bolts.

What should I do to make some improvements in my trey?!?!?!? HELP ><

90% of the trick is the scoop, the flick is so minimal, you just give it a tiny kickflippy nudge. If you flip a bit with your backfoot it'll spin the board in a kickflip a good 65% of the way (No I'm not on crack when I say this), give it a tiny flick and bring your front foot around to catch the board and set that shit down.

Go skate and learn this trick because it's definitely one of the funnest and it's gonna make girls wanna make out with you if you do it in front of them. It's a known fact that the ladies fucking love 360 flips.
