Ok soooooooo I have been trying to learn 1 footed tables lately, but I'm concerned that when I do them the opposite crank will fall into the position that is below the BB. Is this normal or should I do something else
Practice Nac nac's first. That'll get you used to landing with the cranks in a less than ideal position. That's at least what I did. But with one foot tables, you shouldn't really have that problem
Look over your shoulder in the direction you are spinning and yank the bike around. If you have a bmx it helps to practice on that so you can get the feeling down. Also, I like to keep my front end high so if I don't get the full 360 in the rotation, I can pivot on the back wheel
Carve an 's' as you enter any 3. Especially for flat 3 hops, you need to carve and twist into it so that you're spinning the moment you leave the ground/coping. That is the extra rotation you're missing, I've seen it 100 times at parks. Also, it's two steps. You have to jump and spin,then loft the rear wheel up...tuck it up right before you land.

Hey all, any tips for full extension on no foot cans, one foot cans, and Indian airs. Any help is much appreciated.
For No footer cans just move your front foot like you're doing a Nac and lift your other foot off the pedal. As for the cranks try and run them tight as possible.
I want to learn a 360 drop on a trail bike, I can 180 flat and 180 on a bank, but don't have a jump accessible to learn a 360. Is it the same technique as a BMX bike, and does anyone have tricks/tips on how to do it? For context, I ride a large san quentin 3 and the drop is about 5 ish feet high but could be built bigger.

Personally I would learn them flat first. What you can do is first learn them flat, and them learn how to throw them down ramps and banks. That'll get you used to spinning into a landing. Then you probably would want to make your drop as small as possible and work your way up. The biggest thing for me when I was learning flat 3's was learning how to carve into it. The big thing is to turn away from your rotation and use that energy to snap yourself around. I used this video for trick tips
I really hate saying just send it, but if you gradually build up to it, you ultimately just have to go for it. Start by just taking your fingers off the grip and then slowly build up to the full trick.
