Kicker FS180 (L-Kicker)

Take your FS180 to the large kicker. More air means more time to rotate, but also more commitment needed. The approach and technique are the same as the S-kicker version, but the margin for error is smaller at this height.

Key tips

• Be fully comfortable with L-kicker straight airs and S-kicker FS180s first
• The extra airtime can cause over-rotation — control your spin speed
• Spot your landing early
• Land switch with deep knee bend to absorb the bigger impact
• Progress through all four stances: HS, TS, SW HS, SW TS
