for those of you who can land it, how are you throwing it?

Exactly like a backside 180, but with an early handle pass so you get the 180 done early, then open your chest up to the boat.

you gotta wait longer than you think. Real easy to get thrown off axis. Also in order to get the 2nd 180 you have to pull ont he handle a bit to get it around

Just like toothpick said, exactly like a bs 180 with an early handle pass. The way I learned them was by doing ollie bs 180s with the handle pass in the flats, and then just cutting into the wake and doing the same thing bigger. Once you get the handle just turn your head back towards the boat and the rest of your body will follow. You may want to practice landing crossed up(handle in back hand on landing) before really going for it. GOOD LUCK!

Yea, I'm still trying to land them too. I'm almost there. But like he said before, it is real easy to get thrown off-axis. Wait for the pop!! I screwed one up last week and I just about blew my ear drum. I went off axis for the first blind 180, then my nose caught and it was one of the most painful things I have ever felt. I was in intense pain for 7 or 8 hours. It's been a week and I still can't hear out of it properly. It will heal though.

When I do them, I use an ollie edge off the wake to help me with timing. If you can do an indy backside 180, you could also try just taking that to 360. Don't worry about the spin, just keep the right handle position and you will make it.
