How do you boneless on a skateboard?

to start learning bonelesses, simply grab your skateboard with your back hand (like an Indy grab) and take your front foot off of the board, and jump, roll away clean etc. once you have mastered this it is time to start learning to do them properly. Which means that you take your foot off the board before you grab it. Eventually, you will want to take your bonelesses to the point where you pop the board into your waiting hand, rather than reaching down and picking it up. That is unless you want to stink up the area with your bad style!

How many times do you have to turn around on a skateboard to do a '360'?

The number '360' refers to the degree angle it takes to complete one full rotation, since there are 360 degrees in one circle.

So, facing one starting point, you would only have to rotate once back to facing the same starting point to complete a '360'.

In comparison, if you were to rotate 180 degrees (half of 360 degrees), then you would have only turned half of one full rotation and would be facing the opposite direction of the starting point you were originally facing.
