I am just learning how to ride switch, but when i nail it,of course i'm gonna go for the 180. If i ride goofy, uhh what kind of 180 am i suppose to do?

ts fs is probably the easiest if youre good at ts jumps. just push the handle to your rear hip. practice some ollie 180s first and maybe some inside out 180s then just take a big ts jump and do the 180.

you don't even have to start w2w, you can do smaller one wake jumps to get the hang of it. Ollie 180s and from the inside of the wake to the outside work well too as The Headless Chicken, said. Be sure to keep the handle in close just like a refular jump, if you let it away from near your hip then it will pull you over off axis and CRASSSHH (those are fun Laughing

) You got this man, you'll stomp it. Good luck

savage3221, which inside out 180 is easier to start with if you ride right foot forward?

fergie23, your TS....

What foot does not matter, just think TS 180.

fergie23, I learned halfcab heelside 180s first w2w...I found it easier to land regular than switch, and it's simply a matter of practicing riding swith, now switch feels as natural as regular for me.
