i used to be able to throw 180's on demand in any form, i had them down packed, grab late 180s, today I tried to throw one and lost it completely that set off my 180s and now I cant seem to do them at all, im always landing tail heavy and slipping out now...arg

i had the same problem on tantrums and blind 3s a while ago.. ita all a confidence thing... go out and do tricks you know ou can land and build up your confidence then try it.. you're much more likely to land it with the right mind set

To paraphrase an olympic gymnastics coach friend of mine: "These things happen with acrobatic sports."

It can happen as your skills improve with other moves that when you go back to an old trick you're no longer exactly the same person and the newer and better you has to re-learn an old trick. But when you do relearn it you're likely even better at it.

DadKid, well said.

I'll do a tantrum on demand but when it comes to 180's, (even though I can land every time) I just can't get myself to start one.

crazy, I've been having the same problem lately, especially with 180's. It also seems that whenever there is a video camera on the boat I freak out and when there is no camerca I stick everything I've got on the first attempt. Its all in my head though...GET ME OUT!

id just say relax!! i have that problem sometimes too. it doesnt matter what im riding or if im haveing a sick run all day or not. RELAX!!!!! i actually have to stop and breathe or else i wont even be able to do anything. and keep your head up. either youre freaking out or youre looking down. and remember have fun. if you keep falling on one trick stay away from it for a while and get super stoked on other tricks and then go back to it. almost garunteed youll land it

try slightly overo rotating them, and cut away when you land them
