Does anyone have any tips on doing a 1080?

It seems like whenever I hold my right stick(trick stick) down then my left stick down & slowly rotate to turn my arms for a fast spin, it just stirs me into a direction I’m slowly swinging to. Very hard to explain but instead of keeping a straight line and just rotating my arms for the upcoming spin, it rams me into walls. & this happens constantly. Is there a better way to nail a 1080 or is it just a messed up layout? 

  • Sometimes with the left stick down I'll go left first a bit then back right to keep the straight line. That way when you move the stick back right it doesn't turn you past your original direction. The opposite for a left spin. Hopefully that helps! It's a little tricky to get used to but that seems to help me.

    Yeah, it’s a bit tricky but I will give this method a try. Thank you! 

  • try isolating the motion more - instead of rotating your arms while also holding left stick down, ease off the left stick slightly right when you start the spin so momentum carries you straight instead of curving you into a wall. Also helps to build a tiny bit of speed first; too slow and the trick stick input fights your movement stick
