Now we’ll look at a 180-degree turn in the air. And coming out of it riding
backwards on your board.
Look for a nice, gentle slope which (if possible) is not too busy so you’ll
have plenty of room to yourself.
Begin riding your board downhill – but not too fast.
When you are comfortable and ready, crouch down slightly and move your
weight to your back foot begin to turn.
Now, first lift your board’s nose off the ground and then your
board’s tail off the ground alternately. Twist your shoulders and hips with
the direction of the spin. Jump with it and turn 180-degrees.
Try to land on both feet at the same time so as to lessen the impact and to
give yourself a “firm” base to land on and lessen the chances
of you falling.
If you’ve pulled it off, you’ll have landed safely and be riding back the
way you came from!
This trick is a bit more complicated than before but you’re making
progress. So practice, practice, practice to enhance your boarding skills
and become proficient.
