Carve to 180.

1. On a medium slope, carve one clean turn at a controlled medium speed (fast enough not to stall).

   Set the edge so the board flexes, because you'll borrow that rebound to launch the spin — go fast enough to draw a clean arc rather than a skidded turn.

2. In the second half of the turn, as the board starts pointing downhill, begin to stand up.

   The edge releases here and the flexed board springs back, which is the easiest moment to unweight — time the 180 to this instant.

3. Build your wind-up to match the spin direction.

   For a backside 180 (spinning toward your back), send your rear shoulder out toward the direction of travel before takeoff and look back over that shoulder. For a frontside 180 (spinning toward your belly), send your front-foot shoulder inward and look over your front-foot shoulder. Turning your upper body and eyes first lets your lower body follow and carry the board around naturally.

4. Bend both knees to about 60 degrees, then extend both legs at once for a small ollie.

   Lift the nose (front) a touch first so the board pops level — a level board won't catch mid-spin. The instant the board leaves the snow, the wind-up you stored in your upper body transfers to the board and it begins to rotate.

5. In the air, tuck both knees in slightly to make your body compact.

   Spreading your arms and legs slows the spin, so staying narrow lets the same momentum carry you exactly through 180. Keep your eyes on where you want to land.

6. Land switch (riding backward).

   At touchdown, bend both knees to 80–90 degrees to absorb the impact. Your old rear foot is now the front foot, so shift your hips over the new front foot and bring your weight back to center.

7. Ride away switch, looking down the new direction of travel and holding a steady speed.

   Flowing out instead of stopping on landing keeps the exit stable.
