Greco's Throughts on Backside 360s

[dude]

Excerpt from his latest Thrasher interview:

Is it true that back 360s don't count unless your front foot comes off the board?
Kinda. I hate that shitty snowboard technique! But once in a blue moon I'll cursed and the front foot stays on. What sucks is that, of course, it happened for the one in this interview. I saw the photos. I swear my foot came off a little, but the angle makes it look like I didn't. The best is when your front foot comes off and then goes back on, and then your back foot comes off, and then you land.

What do ya'll think? I don't agree. Whenever I think of a truly great backside 360, I think of Reynolds', who, by Greco's definition, has
"shitty snowboard technique". I think it looks way better when the front foot never leaves the board.

Nah, front foot should be off.

[landCow]

i personally love it when the front foot comes of

[j....soy.....]

He's right up there with Dill in the world of knowing what the fuck he's talking about.....

[ivegotlevitation]

looks way better with the foot off.

[shouldn't]

front foot off is way cooler but reynolds has a great 'snowboard' back 3.

What I loved about Greco's frontside 360 in Misled Youth wasnt how his foot came off, but when he landed, it was in the middle of his board.

[essal]

What exactly is a snowboard 360?

I just scoop the hell out of mine, and sometimes the foot comes off, and sometimes not. Like I give a fuck as long as I land it without scratching..

Willy Santos had a sick consistent bs 360 where his foot came off. Greco's is cool too though he lands them kinda funny. I definitely think that bs 360s look cool with the front foot off but they rarely look powerful that way, so I like them both ways. That Trevor Colden kid has a unique bs 360 that looks pretty cool, I think Greco is hating on the non air foot 360s now cuz every kid can do them and it's rare to see the foot off so he's trying to make it a different trick. Bs 360s down big gaps were rare a decade ago there were only a fee guys doing them...Ethan and Jim come to mind, now they're in every video part.

[HATE!]

They definitely look more stylish, but not as stylish as datass

So now in a year everyone is going to call back 360s with your foot on "mob" and all the skin tight jeans wearing (maybe dickies, unless Greco has another fashion crisis) baker deathwish kids will be limp ankling their front foot all the way back to their knee just to appease their fashion overlord, Jim Greco.

Greco is wrong, both kinds are great

as soon as i saw the title i just thought of greco's bs 3 down bricktown in misled youth, definitley and always my favourite bs 360, and done in a time when fucking NOONE did them down gaps etc like that, and he is nearly fully rotated by the time he's over the 4th step,

[john2010hill]

I can never take Greco seriously. Both back 3's are hard as hell in my opinion. They both look super sick to me they're basically two different tricks.

[Fenzadill]

matt hensley has the finest back 3

[grimcity]

I couldn't keep my front foot on if my life depended on it.

[j....soy.....]

Next thing you know they're going to be disallowing pivoting.....

[SHWAPACK]

i know what he means by that but its not a fuckin snowbaord with bindings, if the foot stays on its still a damn ollie

this dude is right and all but fuck, who r...................i just wrote but fuck.

[pile]

i'm backing the front foot off back 360s, but i wouldn't go as far as saying that your front foot stayin on is shitty. when i see a back 360, i'm impressed regardless.

[R. D. Pullman]

[the_unknown_soldier]

I like both.

Backside, homie.

Sometimes front foot off looks dope, sometimes "snowboard" style looks dope.  It's all gravy.

[cornholio]

I wish my front foot came off when i did em. They both look good though Rowleys down the Santa Monica triple was my favorite though.

[jay]

I always thought that his back 3 down Bricktown and his back 3's in general were good examples of the front foot NOT coming off.  I can't think of a single Greco back 3 where he does the front foot off thing.
