The 180 is a stylish trick and a good first spin. You'll pop and spin ½ a rotation to land switch. Many riders prefer spinning front-side—which, if you're regular, ...
here's the thing, AS a long time Snowboarder and expert, if you're going to
be doing 180° Spins (or experimenting with doing spins & spin tricks in
GENERAL), you're gonna want to adjust your bindings for it. Doing a single
180° in the air is going to make you land "Fakie" (board backwards from
natural) so if both Bindings are tilted like +20° & +10° towards the Nose,
it's gonna make Fakie HARD, so you wanna point your Front Foot at for
example +20° & then your Back Foot at -20°...
i used to skateboard from age 6 to 12-13 and i was really good for my age.
but i have never ever stood on a snowboard. and id really like to snowboard
sometime. can anyone tell me, do i have any advantages when snowboarding
for the first time (cause i do have the feeling of standing on a similar
board)? these basic tricks do look really easy to me but i cant tell as i
just dont know... anyone in a similar situation? let me know please
PLZ ANSWER MY QUESTION!! In competitions etc you see the snowboarders jump
of a hill , do a cool stunt where his/her foot isn't on the board any mory
, and then when they land the just get back on their board , now what I'm
wondering is ; How can they remove their feet from the board while it is
normally strapped on it ? and ofcourse when they land how do they get there
foot back in strapped! ? thank you :)
@Nadie194 Its called skating. You just go down the mountain without your
right (or left if your goofy) foot strapped in. I know it seems impossible
but with alot of practice and a good stomp pad you can ride the whole
mountain with one foot strapped in. Then they just take their foot off and
then land skating again.
@SkipSkipSkipToMyLou You're going to first get on it and probably fall
because you aren't used to the slippery surface. I don't snowboard, I ski,
but I used to skateboard too and I definitely did pick it up quicker than
average people. I would say you have an advantage, because you're used to
balancing on a board.
look for features on the mountain itself... usually on the side of tracks
there are piles of snow that can create a good ramp to start your first
jumps... and its a side jump which means no increase in speed... much
easier start ;)
@rastablader try SMOOTHSTAR in a youtube search. they are australian
skateboards designed to practice surfing. it's not quite like snowboarding
but it helped me build muscle strength and improve balance. no hill
required.
LOL same problem here man! well.. i waited for spring boarding and hit da
big jumps the mental state kept me thinking i would never get hurt because
the snow is too slushy! so i gaped that shit! try spring boarding
Here my tutorial how i do that: 1. Find a jump 2. Jumping the kicker
knowing nothing about the trick 3. Eating some snow... 4. Try again 5.
Eating some more snow... 6. Try again 7. You can imagine whats next....
@ChartheShark if your board is made of lead, buy a new one. if it isn't,
train your muscles (e.g. jump a lot and ride or simply work out) until you
can get the hight you want.
Hello. I've seen all your vids and they are great ! i have one
question,whats the asphalt sport most similar to snowboarding?
skating?landboarding? or others? Thank you.
none of the places around me have small jumps like that. I am currently
learning how to hit jumps, but on ten foot gaps. I'm in a constant state of
pain this winter :(
Thanks guys this was the most helpful guide i could find, its really
motivated me
How to Twist 180 on a Snowboard - Snowboarding Tricks
Tips for doing twisting 180's on your snowboard. These are essential for your snowboard trick list because they're a very quick way to 180, you can do them off ...
+SnowboardProCamp I went snowboarding for the first time in my life having been a skiier for 12 years. I hadn't gone though since 2006/7, and when I tried it I was already able to at least turn on my heel edge and a little on my toe edge (a lot harder to get used to coming from skis). I found that even though I hadn't gone skiing for years, it did help me remember how to catch an edge when you want to turn, and how to maintain good balance. Other than that it was a lot different, by my next time for sure I'll be able to board no problem. It's fun watching videos like this as someone just wanting to get back into winter sports.
+TheCrazy Guy I actually think that skiing can make snowboarding harder in the long run. You can pick up bad habits in skiing that don't translate to snowboarding. Try and stick with the one you have more fun doing!
Your videos are the best, but could you help me? I'm a 5'2 15-year-old guy
and my weight is 100 pounds. I want to get a snowboard for the park because
my snowboard is 149 cm and I find it too big for spins, I have a hard time
landing a 180 on a easy slope. My board is also really stiff, so I would
like something a bit more flexible. I currently am riding the Firefly
Furious and I don't have that much money, so what do you think? Tell me if
its impossible to understand or else, but I would really like to have a
freestyle type board. Thanks!
Yeah, might check that out. I prefer buying in stores because you can check your snowboard before using it but hey, you have to give it a go to see how it goes!
In Montana, they have a deal called Learn To Ski/Ride in 3. For $150, you get three days of lift tickets, lessons, and rental gear. They have a two day program at Mt. Hood, Oregon for $100. By the time you get done, it's easier, faster, and cheaper than any other option that I know of. Call the snow sports school of the mountain that you are planning to visit, and ask about beginner packages. Also, wear a helmet and get knee pads; you'll fall a lot the first couple of days. Lastly, pack lunch and snacks. Food on the mountain is always overpriced and usually pretty bad. Don't forget to have fun!
This other guy clearly has never skated hahaha, this other guy can't even
spell skating.... I actually skate during summer fall and spring and
snowboard during the winter. When you skate falling hurts much much MUCH
more, skating was a lot scarier for me personally, but thats different for
everyone. Snowboarding isn't harder or easier than skating, its different.
YOu get more frustrated at the beginning snowboarding and im sure that you
know when you skate you get frustrated later on.
ya thats kinda what we did, the 7 foot jump we made easily cuz it was in
the parking lot where the snow plow put all the snow lol, it shot you
straight up, and the owner of the hill said that he didn't want us there,
we could go anywhere on the hill, just not in the parking lot, so w.e. i
listened and made a 5 foot jump at the bottom of the tobogganing hill lol,
no lil kid breaks his neck off it, and if the owner breaks it i will freak,
since the cops said i could do it there...
you neeed to follow the rotation of your upper body and head, from the wind
up is looks like your going for a FS 180 rather than a BS, on flatland its
not really a problem, but when it comes to the bigger jumps and bigger
rotations you will under rotate and consequently bail..... nice pictures at
the emd though looks goood =D
First thing you need to do for mid-air rotations is getting air. So pop it
hard! An rotation close to the ground will result in eating snow or
something like that. So ollie like ur life depends on it. A fun thing to do
after a bs180 is a (tailride or switch noseride) and then fs180 back to
your normale stance.
Nice tutorial... this is going to be my 2nd season snowboarding, I got
really addicted on my first season last year. This season I want to get
better at switch and 180s and start doing 360s. This video helped me see
how the movement is for the ollie on ground. Thanks!! :)
here's a translation in the way i know how to do a 180 bs. get some speed.
turn a bit before you start, like 10 degrees. this is backwards remembers
(bs = backside) after your small little turn, use it to jump into. Swing
feet all the way around. land. extremely simple.
man fucking hell!! stop saying shit to the learners!! everyone has been in
the same position as someone worse than you at snowboarding!! so shut up!!!
kidding, y is everyone getting their undies in a bundle? has anyone
actually said any shit..? who cares anyway
people don't just jump on a f*&^%ing snowboard and go flying doing
everything like a pro TARDS!!!.......it takes practice..... and everytime I
read comments there's some dickhead trashin' on someone who is
learning............get a freakin' life cowards!!
well at the local snow hill, we had the jump going right beside the parking
lot, where they put all the snow from plowing the parkinglot, so it was
perfect, and we landed on a big pile of snow, but i guess it was unsafe???
so they called the cops on us..
That tutorial is WRONG!! Bunch of morons.. For every 180 you must start
your ollie in the moment when your arms and torso are straight to your legs
so that means WAY ERLIER of what you are doing. Its clearley seen that
yours is unnatural.
man, what is WRONG with you people?.> I'm finding out more and more how
many ASSHOLES there are in the world.....why does everyone have to shit all
over everyone else's stuff?......to make THEMSELVES feel better I
guess?.........
I know what you mean dude... if this is web 2.0 then they can have it back.
Almost every vid theres some guy who probably can't tie his own laces
saying that the person in the vid sucks. I'm fuckin sick of it too
lol i made a 7 foot jump with my friends it was sick!!! but thenthe stupid
police came and said it was to dangerous... so i made a 5 foot one haha
owened : p i did a 360 back side off it, its alot of fun!
i agree i see these tutorials and theres always some little punk bitch
thats shit talking...i would love for these little punk bitches to talk
shit to me in my face...i would break their faces inward..
actualy lol i went back today and it was made perfect, my friend was
getting like 9 feet of air, and the jump is only like 3 feet tall, maybe a
bit bigger, but its perfect, it shoots you so far lol
@jaksanen Snowboarding is way harder than skateing. when you fall you cant
bail and catch yourself cus the board is attached so falling hurts more but
the brightside is its way funner
i'm a skateboarder and im pretty good at it and i am going to try
snowboarding for the first time in my life and i'm wondering is it harder?
Can someone please answer to me
This guy sucks.... he;s not following the rotation of his upper body when
he does it... he's simply ollieing and then scissoring his feet around.
Lame.
it snowed in my village and i have never snowboarded before in my life
jumped on my cousins board fro a laugh and built a jump i was doing 180s
indy grabs etc and i used to skate so the natural flow of a board was there
^^
i did not know i was talking to a retard....you obviously dont snowboard
much if you didnt know there was such thing as 450 ... you are what they
call a poser ...haha...stay off the mountain please
Oh go to sleep.. That clearly is 90 as also weetsie said.. Go out and
better do some snowboarding you mothafucka, stop filming asshole tutorials
for youtube. xD xD Peace bro!!
dude you suck it might have been sick if it was a 180 to fs bs but a 180?
You blow and if u post this and think its sick i dont even want to know how
bad you are hahaha u suck
lol i started snowboarding a day ago and these are so easy and alot of
grabs are easy too but when your going from skateboarding to snowboarding
its not that difficult
