Snowboarding
tips and tricks.................................
Backside 180
1. Ride straight at a small bump or roller with the base of your board flat.
2. Stay flat-based until you're just about to take off.
3. At the lip of the jump, spring off of your toes.
4. Suck your legs up toward your chest and grab indy. (Once you've mastered the indy grab, experiment with grabbing mute, tail or doing a backside 180 method.)
5. Rotate slowly because you're only going to spin 180 degrees
6. Look down between your legs to spot your landing.
7. Let go of your grab and extend your legs for the landing.
8. As you absorb the landing, continue looking uphill for just a second until your board is firmly planted. Then turn and ride away smoothly.
