I was out there in October and skated that spot with Gary and his crew. He let me use his 360 board. I have always done 360s backside -- not good for high numbers. I've never been able to do more than maybe 2 frontside. Those 360 wheels are amazing. On my 3 or 4 try I doubled my number of FS 360s to 5.

My goal for this year, skate wise, it to relearn 360s going frontside, now that i know I can do it.

Bob, you can do it! I want to hear all about it when you start hitting the 20's or 30's!
yes, the steel wheels "Spinners" from SK8KINGS are the best, ZERO traction and tons of momentum.

I can do a 180.

Used to be able to do quite a few. Once you get in "the spot" you just keep going.

Off topic, but Gary Holl just sent me one of his models (complete) as a gift. I was blown away to say the least. Thanks, Gary! I'll be honing some old FS moves soon.

Don't believe they hype. Mongo is legal. Mongo pride since 74

Eight 360's was my number when i was in my prime.

I did 1 and 1/2 yesterday. FS on an 8 wheeler. Basically like trying a 360 riding your kitchen table.

I occasionally try to do them on a longboard. that's fun but super weird. You can get SO much momentum, but your body's never ready for it.

I've yet to get past 540.

I used to be able to do 4 or 5 tops back in the 70's... today, maybe one-and-a-half .

360's were the measuring stick of how good a skater you were in the early days- " How many 360's can you do ?" was a common question.

If you were a skater in the mid 70's, more than likely you were a versatile skater- some freestyle, some slalom, and some vert too.
Todays kids- even the good street skaters- seem pretty limited, especialy in the basics.

Oh yeah, back in the day, my buddy and I were awesome at riding catamaran. No hill or parking garage ramp was to fast for us.
