A 180 snowboard trick requires balance, terrain awareness and good positioning. The backside 180 is one of the most fun tricks in snowboarding. The backside refers to the area between your head and the board's heel. To perform this trick, you should keep your head down the hill. The trick can be performed by flipping a switch, then spinning down the mountain. You can either practice it by jumping small or spinning on flat ground.
The backside 180 is one the most difficult tricks. You need to be able to carve the switch. This is the first step to performing a 180 snowboard trick. Practice switch riding on an ongoing basis. Practice landing the switch. You will soon be able to spin down the mountain and land the switch.
The next step is to practice a 180 on a slope. To get comfortable with spinning in controlled ways, you will need to practice your 180 on a gentle slope. You will also need to be able to jump over jumps. Once you are confident, you can start to perform the trick from the frontside. This is much easier to do than the backside.
Once you are comfortable with the frontside of your switch, you can move on to the backside. You will start off with a normal switch and then switch to the frontside. It is much easier to do this trick on the toe side. The toe edge of the board is where your toes are. Try practicing this on a small jump so you get used to spinning. If you are able to do it on the toe edge, then you should be able to do it on the heel edge.
Once you are comfortable with the switch, you may attempt a frontside 360. The normal frontside liftoff should be used. This way, you will be able to spin on the toe edge without having to spin up. A frontside 180 can be done from a jump. You should be able to do this after a few weeks of practicing it. It will be easier for you to do the frontside180 if your balance is good. Also, it is a good idea to start with smaller jumps in order to learn how you can spin in a controlled fashion. Then, you can start to jump on larger jumps.
Before you can practice a switch, spin around in a circular motion before you leap. After that, you will need to continue riding the switch until it is able to propel you to a normal landing. If you find it difficult to turn around in a circle with your arms, you can try doing 180 degrees with your arms. This is also known by the tenen. You will need to practice doing the tenen before doing a switch. The tenen will allow you to avoid catching your tip during the trick.
