"Okay. So, the next trick that I am going to be walking you guys through is the basic 360. What you are going to want to do with this is make sure you lead with your head after you pop off the lip, similar to the way that you were hitting the other jumps. You want to go, and don't set your hand like this, like a lot of people do, but you just want to pop. And wherever your head goes, that's where your body is going to go. Okay? So, now I am just going to go and drop, and kind of walk you guys through when I am actually going off the jump. So, you are going to want to go with a decent amount of speed, making a few turns, and then when you get up to the lip, just pop like that, and then land it right away. And then, once again as you notice, I cruised off to the side of the jump, where it is safe and okay to stop. You just want to make sure that you are being safe the whole time, regardless of what tricks you are doing. You just want to make sure that you are not in anyone's way, not in the landing of the jump. Even if you do fall, try to make it off to the side. And like I said for the 360, make sure you just go and pop your spin and set it, and just wherever your head goes, that is where your body is going to go. When you come around, you will be able to spot the landing and just put the landing gear down, and then you will be okay and cruise away and right out from it."
