THis is one of the greatest tricks ever performed. It was filmed last year at the US frestyle open. IT is a switch 1440 which is 4 full spins. I will be happy if I land a 540 by the end of The month.

This is how to land a 540

Imagine a 360 aerial maneuver with an additional 180 degrees turn. This is the 540 aerial Skiing maneuver which entails doing a full and a half turn. In this section, learn how to turn 540 degrees on air. Make use of our animation at the right as guide as you go through the steps.

STEP 1: To start off, ski at moderate speed and approach the lip of the jump.
STEP 2: Know which direction you want to turn. As you reach the lip, initiate the spin by moving your head and shoulders towards the direction of the turn. The rest of your body will follow.
STEP 3: Turn 360 degrees once you are in midair. Keep your Skis parallel to each other.
STEP 4: Prepare to make a half turn upon finishing a complete 360 degrees.
STEP 5: For a smooth finish, spot the landing as you complete the full turn.
STEP 6: Prepare to land and absorb the impact.You should be facing the fall line.
STEP 7: Stomp the landing and then ride away backwards.

Be comfortable in moving and making turns in midair. Make sure to brush up on your 540s and other basic aerial tricks first before attempting more difficult maneuvers.
