Surface BS180

The backside 180 is a surface spin where you rotate with your back turning toward the cable. This feels different from the frontside version because the handle pass happens in front of your body rather than behind. Practice power slide 180s first as a stepping stone.

Key tips

• Initiate by turning your head and shoulders backside
• The handle pass is in front of you — reach across your body
• Keep the rotation smooth and continuous
• Practice from both regular and switch stances
