Flat Ground 180

A flat ground 180 is a half-spin on the snow. Wind up your upper body, ollie, rotate 180 degrees, and land riding switch. This teaches you the basics of spinning and handle the switch landing.

Key tips

• Wind up by rotating your shoulders opposite to the spin direction
• Ollie first, then release the spin — don't spin while still on the ground
• Spot your landing by looking over your shoulder
• Commit — a half-hearted 180 leaves you sideways and stuck
• Practice both frontside and backside rotations
