360 spin

Complete circular turn

A 360 spin is a full rotation—turning completely around to face the same direction you started.

The term comes from the 360 degrees in a circle.

Common in skateboarding, snowboarding, basketball, and other sports where athletes rotate in midair or on a surface: He landed a clean 360 spin off the halfpipe.

Also called simply a 360.
