540 u say?

well first off u should be very familer witht the 360. as in u can do them off any jump without thinking twice (cept giant kickers lol).

the easist way to do a 540 is to spin frontside, you'll spin much faster and will be able to spot ur landing as oposed to a backside spin.
So first off go build ur self a nice jump in powder where u cant hurt ur self

an when ready give ur self enough speed oviously an spin as hard as you would to any 360 off that jump
but were doing a 540 now arnt we? so after ur 360, keep ur head and shoulders turned to the left and continue the spin.
now i kno this is easier said than done but basically dont think you need to spin so much harder and faster but instead just continue the spin by keep ur body rotated to the left. it helps to grab ur board as this will help u spin faster.

if you have enough air then you should spin ur 5 no prob jus rember to get enough speed an dont syke ur self out cus its jus a 360 with an extra 180 :)
