Frontside 180

Snowboarding / Popular

Spin and land your first frontside 180.

What coaches agree on

  • Learn the motion on flat ground or a gentle slope first, before you add speed or take it to a jump.
  • Ride in on your heel edge, using a toe turn into a heel turn so your board is straight and set up to pop.
Show more
  • Wind your shoulders back, then rotate them forward first to start the spin, and let your hips and legs follow.
  • Pop by extending your legs at takeoff to get airtime as you rotate.

Common mistakes

  • Holding back and not fully committing to the rotation leaves your weight on your heels instead of a clean landing.
