Side Slide 180

A side slide 180 combines the side slide with a full 180-degree rotation. Start in the side slide position, then continue the rotation to land riding the opposite direction (fakie or switch). This is your first full surface rotation.

Key tips

• Get comfortable holding the side slide before adding the 180
• Commit to the rotation — hesitation causes falls
• Pass the handle behind your back as you complete the turn
• Land with your weight centered and knees bent
