Default 180s


"Arvin Chang" a écrit dans le message de

About the technique. The idea for a 180 (only 180 and 180 only!!! this
will not work for a 360... well 540, but let's not go there yet) is
that you will "counter-rotate" the last 90.



Thanks... really helpfull
However, I think I'm quite confortable doing backside 180s
but i don't do this "counter rotation" stuff.
What i do is just be slighly on the toe side just before
jumping, and then i will turn slowly in the air (the visual
feedback is the ground above me) and then, as you said
landing blind in order not to keep on turning after landing.

Counter-rotate is maybe needed for "late 180s" ??

By the way, do you have any tips for 360s ??
backside i don't turn enough (most of the time i
land between 270 and 360) and frontside I keep
on turning after landing (i guess that the trick is
as for bs180 to avoid looking down just after landing).

Thanks (and sorry for the bad english)
