Before you try a 540, make sure you’ve got your 360’s and 180’s dialed.
Once you set your spin, get into a tucked iron cross. After you’re crossed up, look over the shoulder opposite to your spin and find your tail. Grab the tail with your trailing hand and pull it into the spin, just like a 360 Tail Grab.
Keep looking over your opposite shoulder while still pulling the tail into the spin. Now you should be coming through the 360 spin. It is important to keep looking at your landing while you travel backwards. If you keep your eyes on your landing, you shouldn’t over rotate. Make sure you center your weight for the landing. Touch your tips down first, then your tails.
