How to

Step by step
  1. Take a full-speed approach and run the board straight to the lip (the takeoff edge).

    A BS1080 is three full rotations (1080 degrees), so any speed you lack on the run-in can't be made up later.

  2. About two to three meters before the lip, pre-wind your upper body opposite to the spin.

    A regular rider's backside spin goes toward the heel side, so pull your right shoulder back toward the tail and open your shoulders against your hips, like winding a rubber band. Keep your eyes far down the landing.

  3. At the lip, snap both knees (bent to about 90 to 110 degrees) straight up to unweight while you throw the pre-loaded right shoulder in the spin direction (heel side, around behind you).

    Timing the leg extension and the shoulder throw to the same instant gives you both height and rotational drive. Keep your weight over the arch toward the heel of both feet; loading the toes tips the spin forward.

  4. The moment the board leaves the snow, fold both arms in front of your chest and draw your knees up to make your body small.

    Your spinning momentum is locked in at takeoff and can't be added in the air, so the tighter you tuck, the faster you rotate on the same momentum.

  5. As you spin, the board and landing pass behind you out of sight three times.

    Each time it goes behind you, hold your body's tilt (the spin axis) steady and keep the tuck without unwinding, so your rotation speed stays constant.

  6. Late in the third rotation, roughly a quarter-turn before landing, turn your head toward the spin to spot the landing slope.

    Once you see it, open both arms out to shoulder height and unwind the tuck slightly to slow the spin. Opening your arms reduces rotation speed, so use how far you open them to fine-tune over- or under-rotation.

  7. Line the board up to regular stance (left foot forward), bend both knees to absorb the impact, and land riding along the slope.

    Keep your eyes ahead through touchdown and stay low rather than standing the upper body up.

Tips & common mistakes

Tips

The pre-wind stores twist between your pulled-back right shoulder and your hips. The more you store, the more drive you can release at the lip, so hold it and don't unwind until just before takeoff.

COMMON MISTAKE

Rotation slows from the second turn on → your arms or knees drifted away and your body opened up in the air → fold both arms to your chest and draw your knees up right after takeoff, and hold the small tuck to the end.
