There's a few things. You could learn to pendy, could learn to 360 (a little harder with a normal longboard and not a slide deck), could practice 180s outta switch (note that toeside from switch is a ####load easier, in my opinion), or you could learn to ride switch, but it's really hard to do so and its easier to learn how to 180 from switch.

Remember that a pendy is a very very important skill so you should learn it, whether you're learning it just to not ride switch or to do it for safety, it's a pretty essential skill.

to do a 360, do you just have to get more speed or is it a completely different concept?

Toeside 360

Pendulum. You slide one direction and then slide back in the same slide. Toeside pendy would look like this:
