Frontside 180 in Snowboarding

36 free videos on technique, drills and tips, each tagged by level

What coaches agree on

  • Set up with a toe-edge-to-heel-edge carve so you arrive at the lip on your heel edge, pointed straight, right before you pop.
  • Wind your shoulders up first, then drive the spin by bringing your back shoulder around to finish where your front shoulder started.
Show more
  • Learn the motion standing still or on flat ground, without speed or a jump, before you add air.
  • Make sure you can ride switch confidently before you start this trick; you will be landing switch every time.

Common mistakes

  • Landing back on your heels instead of flat is the most common miss on this trick, and it traces back to a takeoff that wasn't level or fully committed.

Reviewer The traverse-based practice (not just standing still) makes this feel like real coaching, not just a breakdown.

Moderator Thorough, entirely on-topic coverage of the frontside 180 - both regular and switch stance, done in a traverse for realism, then progressed to popping off a jump with a toe-to-heel edge setup. Includes a safety aside (look over your shoulder) that's a tangent but a responsible one.

Moderator Full, explicit beginner breakdown of the frontside 180 end to end, including landing technique, which most of the others in this batch skip. Entirely on-topic.

Reviewer Good actionable progression from 90 to full 180 - doesn't go deep, but it's correct and usable.

Moderator Clean three-tip structure entirely about learning the frontside 180 - switch-riding prerequisite, windup/follow-through mechanics, and a progression from 90 degrees to a full 180. A brief mention of a goggle/jacket shop at the end doesn't take away from the lesson itself.

Moderator Same creator, same structure as the other tutorial, still entirely about frontside 180 - switch-riding check, spine-driven windup (correcting the common arms-only mistake), then combining the pieces with a note on flat-ground pop vs pop off a feature.

How To Frontside 180 Out On A Snowboard

Reviewer Excellent — clear mechanics, a good analogy, and a recap you can actually use on the hill.

Moderator This is a rail-specific application (180 out of a 50/50) rather than a jump trick, but the whole video is about generating the frontside 180 rotation via counter-rotation — same core skill, different feature. Squarely on-topic even if narrower context.

Reviewer Real progression, real failure points addressed — one of the better breakdowns in this batch.

Moderator A genuine ground-up progression for the exact trick: slide-around 180 on flat ground, add 90 degrees of hang time, then the full spin, plus explicit landing cues. This is the sub-skill.

Reviewer Nice specific timing cue that most tutorials don't bother giving you.

Moderator Squarely about the mechanics of the frontside 180 — timing the leg extension with the shoulder/hip rotation — using a training board as the teaching tool. Also touches counter-rotation for jib features. On topic throughout.

Frontside 180! Full video on instagram/tiktok. YouTube only allows 60secs

Reviewer Good specific cues on shoulder position and leg mechanics, cut short before it fully lands them.

Moderator Entirely about learning the frontside 180 - drill for staying grounded, anticipatory shoulder positioning, scissor leg mechanics, an ollie variant for extra pop. Cut short by the 60-second YouTube limit (references a longer cut elsewhere) so it feels incomplete, but everything present is on-topic.

Reviewer Good if you want to see the real learning process, not a polished checklist.

Moderator This is literally a rider's first-ever frontside 180 being coached in real time — approach turns, pop, twist, timing, all covered because that's what she's actually working through. As on-topic as it gets, just delivered as raw coaching dialogue instead of a tidy script.

How to do a FRONTSIDE 180 and a BACKSIDE 180 on a SNOWBOARD | Snowboard for Beginners

Reviewer Good, correct summary - just less depth than the longer English breakdowns here.

Moderator About half the runtime covers backside 180 instead, which is a different trick, so it's not as squarely focused as the single-trick tutorials in this batch, though everything said about frontside 180 itself (ollie prerequisite, weight on the back heel edge, semi-flexed landing) is accurate and on-topic.

Mastering the Frontside 180 Snowboard Trick: A Step-by-Step Guide

Reviewer Good quick-reference recap once you already know the moving parts.

Moderator Covers the core mechanics — shoulder wind-up, pop/ollie, throw-and-finish with the back shoulder, absorb the landing. On topic, delivered as a condensed refresher rather than a from-scratch build-up.

Reviewer The 'load it before you jump' detail is the kind of thing that actually cleans up a sloppy spin.

Moderator Genuinely specific approach/loading cues for a clean spin — heel edge approach, weighting the back leg, loading before jumping. Real technique, squarely on topic.

Jib Series - Episode 15: Keluar dengan Frontside 180

Reviewer Useful if you're already doing rail tricks and want a clean way out — not a starting point.

Moderator This is a frontside 180, but a specific application of it — counter-rotated, used to spin out of rail and box features (50-50s, presses). It teaches real 180 mechanics (wind-up, rotation) but only in this narrow rail-exit context, not the standard approach-pop-land version most people are looking for under this skill.

How to Half Cab On a Snowboard - (Switch Frontside 180)

Reviewer Solid pointers, thin on the actual how — too much channel plug, not enough mechanics.

Moderator This is literally a half cab, which by his own definition is a switch frontside 180 — right trick family, just the switch variant. Core mechanics (shoulder lead, lower body follow, pop off heels) are the same rotation we're teaching, he's just doing it from switch stance. Docks a bit for being switch-specific rather than the base regular-stance version most people search for first.

Reviewer Promising checklist, but too short to know how much you'd really learn.

Moderator No transcript, but the caption lays out real setup cues (stance, knee softness, weight) for exactly this trick. Reading as on-topic off the caption, with the usual discount for not hearing it delivered.

How To Frontside 180-In 180-Out Butter

Reviewer Good structure, but doesn't dig deep on the 180 part specifically.

Moderator The front 180 is genuinely the entry move being taught step by step, so it's on-topic, but a big chunk of the video is about the buttering/pressing position rather than the spin itself. A frontside 180 embedded in a bigger combo trick.

Reviewer Good cue, but you need the earlier part of this series to get the full picture.

Moderator The heel-toe-heel approach rhythm and 'replace back shoulder where front shoulder was' cue are specific, real components of this trick applied at the jump stage.
