How to Backside 180 On A Snowboard [Coolest trick ever?]

[@jetriplett]

Who is this guy. A lot of great tutorials for snowboarding out there but this guy is built differently. As a former Marine, if I would have to make a period of instruction, this guy would be the one I would put in charge. He includes just about every detail you can just about imagine and feel with body mechanics, and what to expect. Drills, drills and drills, he includes a progression and the ending of this vid is presentation done text book. He summarizes the actual mechanics as you will perform the action. Gtg!!!

[@ShredSchool1]

Thank you! Glad someone appreciates the thoroughness

[@robkramer6336]

Thanks man, helps a lot to always explain the tricks you need to know first as well. Love the Forum board

[@krigun]

Love the detailed analysis and teardown, super awesome!

[@ShredSchool1]

Thanks 👊

[@Powderlegs]

Damn. I’ve been doing these for over two seasons now and just realized from your video the shifty before the rotation is what let’s you Ollie bigger. 🤯🤯🤯. So glad I found your channel!

[@ShredSchool1]

That's the key!

The double arm swinging synced back at 3:18 is new to me.. need to test it. It looks very special.. all other examples had different arm movements

[@photogeeza]

Feel like i'm going to be drilling ollies and backside 180s next time i'm out, thanks for the tip bud, nice to see a D-face Rome mod rocker, not seen 1 except my own..!!

[@geeneou5]

Great tutorial! Although I’ve been riding for years, I mostly just cruise and carve pow and groomers. I definitely want to incorporate simple tricks and this is a start 🙏🏼🤙🏼

Nice tutorial mate!! This trick really feels so good on big kicker!!🙏🔥

[@ShredSchool1]

agreed!

[@ShawnQueefus]

The trick that keeps on giving..

[@Pugglelife333]

thanks! what amazing tutorial! now I know what I've been doing wrong for 20 years! thank you again.

[@ShredSchool1]

You are welcome! What was the key?

[@chasemoyer5858]

Homie almost caught his heel at the end and I instantly saw a flash of that turning out the same way except id actually catch my heel

[@laguintasuarez6601]

good beginner board, got it waxed and sharpen and had no issues with the product. highly recommend.

[@23JMRH]

Very helpful. Thank you! Is there anything different when doing them off rails/boxes? Obviously can’t ollie. I’m not getting all the way 180.

[@ShredSchool1]

yeah, you should come off like you're doing an ollie, with the back foot leaving the rail last instead of both feet at once. Also, start turning your shoulders a little earlier on the rail if you can't seem to get it the whole way around. Keep your board straight, but initiate the spin with your upper body, then let the lower body follow once the rail ends. Hope this helps!

[@23JMRH]

@@ShredSchool1 Thanks! I’ll give that a try. I find your instructions the best out there.

[@iremedia]

Great channel!

[@ShredSchool1]

Thanks Scott!

[@tristanbrookes4553]

You really don’t need an ollie flat land / smaller jumps. It looks way smoother if you pop both feet simultaneously. Slows the spin, way better style and lots of height.

[@ShredSchool1]

I would not recommend learning this way. You won’t be able to do it on to rails, over obstacles, off big jumps. Learn proper form by using an Ollie

[@tristanbrookes4553]

@@ShredSchool1 I’ve been riding that way just fine for the last 20 odd years. I also believe it’s way easier, as you can more easily level the board especially on spins. I’m not against ollies but I wanted everyone to know there’s another perhaps easier way to start popping. I will agree that ollies are better for side hit rails definitely.

[@klaspremier5699]

Thanks for the vids Ed. I always have an issue on larger hits with these. As I can do them on smaller side hits. But... off a small kicker its like my body naturally wants to kick backwards and turn horizontal to the snow, from looking down blind. Just cant seem to level it out. One of the best looking moves in my opinion as well so would be nice to try again this year on larger hits. Any mental cues I can try for this? Thanks

[@ShredSchool1]

Yeah, I do the same thing to the point of dragging my hand in the snow. gotta maintain upright posture when you're taking off, make sure you don't bend at the waist because you're looking down blind. Practice doing them with Ollies on flat ground and rollers with super upright posture and focus on it on takeoff on larger jumps and should be able to stay upright. Don't drag the hand If all else fails practice them on a skateboard because you have to use proper posture to get it to work

[@klaspremier5699]

@@ShredSchool1 Thanks Ed , glad you understood what I meant lol. Definitely the issue not being upright and not ollying first. Makes sense. Appreciate the reply

[@ESLinsider]

Tried one switch today for the 1st of this season off a ten foot jump and caught my heel edge on take off. Yikes. Fortunately I landed on the sweet spot of the landing and slide down it on my back. Lucklily I didn't hit my head. Think I need some practice on snow stuff more. Was doing them alright off small jumps last year. Practice practice. Was thinking it would be cool to link it to one of my favorite straight airs.

[@ShredSchool1]

sounds like you might need to practice your switch ollies. Glad you hit the sweet spot!

[@ESLinsider]

@@ShredSchool1 Switch ollie's sounds like good advice. I'll try that.

[@gsansall1721]

I have a hard time with my weight transfer when landing a backside 180º. I can land and ride it out for like 5 seconds but then my tail which is now my nose diggs in... I ride slightly stanced back.. would this be make it more difficult? I've tried to swich quick right after I land but can't quite get it. Any tips?

[@ShredSchool1]

Just try leaning more towards your nose (now your tail) if you keep going over the switch nose You could also try to be more over the center of your board in the air. Hard to tell without seeing a clip but sound like you might be too heavy over your back foot throughout the whole spin

[@gsansall1721]

@@ShredSchool1 thanks for the advice I'll give thoes tips a try❤ I think your right about to heavy on my backfoot throughout my spin. I'll keep practicing and try ur advice about leaning more towards my nose. thanks ✌

[@lagwall]

Backside 180 method or Lein Air is super steezy

[@ShredSchool1]

For sure!

[@RandySnarsh]

One thing i learned. I rather catch a toe edge everyday than catch a heel edge.

[@martinstrausz5440]

Are you landing on toes or heels?

[@ShredSchool1]

Land flat based

[@martinstrausz5440]

@@ShredSchool1 Thanks mate

[@ShredSchool1]

For sure! You can land on toe or heel edge as needed given the situation but if at all possible, especially over big jumps I aim for flat based to carry maximum speed in to the next hit

But wait…. I ride switch…. I’m weird I know

[@homealone5087]

Whats weird about riding switch?

[@MckWells]

Your natural stance is goofy? Or you just like riding switch? I love riding switch, it's a good way to take the pressure off tired muscles.

[@TheMilkman04]

@@MckWells It’s my natural stance, I first started skateboarding around like 7-8 when rip sticks came out and for some reason started with my right foot in front. Just became natural and that’s how I rode on skateboards and snowboards even to this day.

[@Kinky-Kirby]

@@TheMilkman04 That's not riding switch, that's a goofy stance. Riding switch would be riding regular (left foot forward) when your natural stance is goofy (right food forward).

[@Trill.Clipz.Channel]

ughhh no goofy riders!!!!
