Backside 180

[rankz]

YES i have done a search for this. I didn't get anything.
Anyway.....I have been having a problem with backside 180s

1. It starts off me riding slowly, Crouching down ready to ollie
2. I truned a little FS (winding up for the BS ollie)
3. I pop and swing BS
4. I lean inwards and the board skids out
5. I fall to my knees
6. nahh ohh yahh


So what do i need to do? What can I do to practise for the BS buggers?

lean backwards. simple.

Dont dip your head in.

A. You might be swinging the BS too hard. That is why the board is flinging away from you.

B. You might be hanging too much of toe. Make sure your heel hangs off more.

C. Try to push your body and the board forward. When you land, mke sure to not lean too much forward, and not too much back.

D. Make sure when you land, you bend your knees a little, and put enough pressure on your board to keep it moving.

E. When your in the air for the 180, keep it at 90 degrees, and just practice that. When your up to the point where you can get stuck in the air at 90, then while in 90 degrees, in the air, use both leg and hip power to turn you're board around. Use your front toe to push a little in front you, and your tail foot behind you.

F. Make sure to suck them legs up. Especially if your gonna launch off something, sucking up is essential.

G. And for a last resort, you can try a 90, then pivot.

The magic thing in the Backside 180 is to turn your shoulders FS. And you will see how much that helped. Also .pie. know's what he's talking about.

try doing it going up somethign i found that easier liek try doing it while rolling up a hill

[son_gohan]

jump in the direction your board is going. moving forward, jump left if you're regular, right if you're goofy
