Landed my first FS 180 at Mt Baker, WA thanks to the progression in this video. Using the side wall first to practice the spin without having to land switch was brilliant! Now I can 180 and ride away switch no problem. Only fell once in the process. Thanks, Kevin! Keep these videos coming!
Do everything he says, but add a throw with your front arm towards your back foot and I like to think of doing a spinning back wheel kick. Helps bring it around and bring me off axis.
Than you for this video. I've been snowboarding since I was 10 (23 now), and have spent most of my time in the terrianpark. Because of this video I can now do spins off of jumps, when before I could only spin on boxes and rains, and could do just about anything on boxes and rails for that matter. I struggled for many years to get that rotation off of jumps, but no longer from this last season and thanks to this video. Thank you again.
first and foremost I appreciate the work that must go into cranking out so much content on the regular! You tutorials have become the snowboard gospel in my crew! lol! So thk u to the fullest!
For front 180s you want to come off the jump at a slight carve, and you don't want to start your spin instantly. Twist your arms slightly coming up to the end of the lip and twist your upper body to about 90° before you twist your legs, and most of all you don't want to spin too much because it's just a 180 and if you try to spin too fast you'll flop around everywhere and fall. When you try your front 3 for the first time you want to come at a carve and make sure to not prespin too hard, remember your motion wants to be in the air. Coming up you want to twist your body for the build up of momentum and when you leave the lip you want to twist it to the direction of your 3 and turn your head. Try to stay even over your bird and keep your legs in the spin. Your body will just do the 3 from the momentum. Once you do it a few times try to add a grab because it will keep you balanced in air.
Thank you 😊 I love your videos! Keep the hard work up 🆙. I really miss when you did a lot of the tutorials so can you make more? Thanks for helping me learning butter tricks and now 180s and 360s 😊😊. Good luck 👍 for your channel.
Needless to say, amazing video like always. Thanks for the great tips, I'll definitely be using them. Can't wait till these mountains finally open up for the season!
+Алексей Ширшов , даа, вообще молодцом! После просмотра одновременно и английский прокачиваю, и на борде начинаю по лучше катать. ^_^ Yeah! He is nice human being! After watching I get both skill of learning English and skill how to ride\jump. :-)
Hey Kevin, Do you know how to heat mold snowboard boot liners? I'm thinking about buying new snowboards boots and I want to make them fit my foot perfectly.
hey! i’m another snowboard vlogger and i was wonder how/what you use to film on the mountain? a DSRL and if so i was wondering how you make sure the camera doesn’t get damaged! also love the videos learned a lot!
It's probably in your take off, you are probably pulling one leg more than the other. You are doing something more like an ollie or nollie, try to even the force, also it depends on the jump, if it's a kicker or if you go too slow and then you put too much force in the pop, so you make your self out of balance
Ive never been good at spins, i can always only just about do a 180 and i don't know why? Do you recommend turning blind side up?? I ride goofy by the way
Im looking to get a new bored this season its only my second year riding I want to try out park. Would the Capita DOA or Capita Ultrafear be good for all around riding? I ride in Minnesota but plan on going out west a few times.
Hey Kevin I was just wondering if I could have some advice on spinning on a bigger jump like a medium but the thing is I'm not too good at goofy riding any advice
I use an arbor element board I'm wondering if its harder to do 360s with it, because after reading reviews many people are saying its actually really hard with this type of board
Yo is there snow at Whistler now? I wanna go up so bad this year, but havent checked out the weather or anythin cause im still goin through college classes and shit
Hey Kevin. What do you fix your eyes on when doing backside 180? With frontside, it's natural to me to just keep looking forward, which works well. But I realized that I'm staring at my toes when trying to jump backside 180, which probably affects my perception of direction and causes me to land badly. I hope I got the sides right...
Ats Nisov Look back and slightly down towards the take off while you spin and then spot the ground right next to your new (after the 180) back foot and land. Then, when you have absorbed the 'afterbang' you can look forward again.
Fitnessyoutuber mit Spritzenphobie Yeah, I figured that out on my own as well, and it worked. Jumping 180s on flat on low speeds helped me to master the head turning.
Hey! Love your videos but had a question: Can men get female boards? I am a shorter guy ( 5'2" ), small feet, and am heavier compared to the average person my height (64kg ). The Mens boards are all too large for me, and the junior boards seem to have a lot lower of a weight, and was told are cheaper? Ladies boards seemed to fit my needs! (Also got female boots and bindings, don't fit into men! )
+Laura L.o.L. You want to start the 180 with your normal stance and land switch, so start the rotation with your 'right" foot in front and land with your 'wrong' foot in front!
my weakest point is the line. I don't have a big problem with the rest. But some time, while im taking off my edge is losing and sliding away. Its exactly in that moment when im pushing to ollie. Do you have any tips for that?
+snowboardproCamp I have my 180s good but I can never seem to get the 360s I go off of a small cliff about 3-5 feet tall and I always stop rotating at 180 I do all the right techniques. Do you have any tips that could help?
When I try to throw a 360, or anything bigger than a 180 I cannot keep my board flat in the air and my spin ends up being more vertical rather than horizontal. how can I fix this problem to get my 360's down?
Hey Kevin, I am a begginer snowboarder and I want to ask where should I put my smartphone while snowboarding because i want to stop and take photos from time to time.
If you have a real snowboarding jacket it might have a zip pocket or a media pocket to put it in, if not (I just have a windbreaker for park riding) put it in a plastic bag and in your pocket underneath your snow pants.
I got a seidio case for my phone. It's protected from impacts and the case is waterproof so I don't need to worry about the snow melting into cracks. There are lots of other companies though. Just type in Google waterproof case and your phone.
+Luke Divi why wouldnt you wax your snowboard if you dont wax it your pretty much just fucking up your snowboard and even if you dont your not gonna go as fast as if you wax it
Too true, this is what I did when I start my rotation on snowboard, this winter I will show tricks and tutorial but in French, on snowboard and now I show how to do a backflip and a side flip, charlotricks36;)
SnowboardProCamp Thanks I will try to stay forward more. Some kickers are on such an angle up it gets hard :P didn't think anyone would actually reply lol
ollies throw your weight forward or backward (nollie or ollie) on the takeoff, and put you off axis in the air. If you can do it right it looks steezy af, more like a 360 single cork, but I find it much harder.
God damn these amazing vids, getting me way too hyped for the season
still getting hyped, two years later. :)
Same
same in 2k19

Excellent, Kevin. This is my favorite snowboard channel.
Do some harder tutorials like how to FS / BS corks, 270 in and out rails and such
I agree
SnowMoPo He can't do them lol
Do everything he says, but add a throw with your front arm towards your back foot and I like to think of doing a spinning back wheel kick. Helps bring it around and bring me off axis.
Awesome tutorial, will definitely use this when attempting spins
+Bluelimes8 same opinion! really helpful and awesome tutorial

You and your team are the best, Kevin. Thanks for all the tips. I'll be trying some of these.
Thanks! Have fun!
first and foremost I appreciate the work that must go into cranking out so much content on the regular! You tutorials have become the snowboard gospel in my crew! lol! So thk u to the fullest!
Learned to ride switch last weekend, finally gonna be able to try to hit 180s in motion without just instantly bailing. Can’t wait to try it out
Side hits are the most helpful tip for learning
I have watched your previous videos about spinning and this was a really good update! Great job man! Sharing video right now to my crew!
Thank You so much! Yesterday I did my first 180 off of a side wall just like you said. Good thing I watched your How To Fall video first!
thank you Kevin, I learnt a lot of useful information about snowboarding from your channel.
Nice, I'd love an episode on trampoline training.
These are the most helpful videos I’ve ever watched. I’m preparing for the season now
For front 180s you want to come off the jump at a slight carve, and you don't want to start your spin instantly. Twist your arms slightly coming up to the end of the lip and twist your upper body to about 90° before you twist your legs, and most of all you don't want to spin too much because it's just a 180 and if you try to spin too fast you'll flop around everywhere and fall.

Try to stay even over your bird and keep your legs in the spin. Your body will just do the 3 from the momentum. Once you do it a few times try to add a grab because it will keep you balanced in air.
I love the videos, great for cleaning up technical problems for beginners, surprised you don't have more subscribers, keep the videos coming!
Great video, so clearly laid out and concise. Awesome. Thanks for making it.
AMAZING VIDEO! Love it 😍 Thanks for that tutorial! Keep the good work up 👍👍👍
Thank you 😊 I love your videos! Keep the hard work up 🆙. I really miss when you did a lot of the tutorials so can you make more? Thanks for helping me learning butter tricks and now 180s and 360s 😊😊. Good luck 👍 for your channel.
This channel is great. Helps a lot. Thanks for making videos!
Great video Kevin. So excited for boarding at whistler. Keep it up!
Very well worded and good safe progressions! Thanks!
Yet another great video and tutorial! Keep up the good work Kev.
I learn Snowboarding since 3 weeks , is really cool, this video is help me really
Luca Burghof I know I started just this season and am in love with it. This guy is my savior
Needless to say, amazing video like always. Thanks for the great tips, I'll definitely be using them. Can't wait till these mountains finally open up for the season!
Really hope there is a regular version of this...
Thak you. I really need videos like that. I love snowboarding and I need more tricks to do!!!!! :)
wooow man, why your best tips come just after my season here!? hahah very nice tutorial. In Bariloche they had some areas like that
im going to be doin 180s and 360s a lot on natural drops because the ski hill where I live has no freestyle terrain
Great tutorial !! You should make a day in the life on the Mountain like your runs and somthing like that thats amazing !!
спасибо тебе чувак за твои видосы :)

These videos are amazing! Perfect 5/7
Huge stance
This video makes me want to go out and try it NOW! too bad that it's already dark and I should be sleeping already :D
hey! i’m another snowboard vlogger and i was wonder how/what you use to film on the mountain? a DSRL and if so i was wondering how you make sure the camera doesn’t get damaged! also love the videos learned a lot!
I like watching your videos I've been having trouble with keeping balance in mid air any advice and keep up the good work
It's probably in your take off, you are probably pulling one leg more than the other. You are doing something more like an ollie or nollie, try to even the force, also it depends on the jump, if it's a kicker or if you go too slow and then you put too much force in the pop, so you make your self out of balance
eM Pee thanks I mastered bigger jumps now
Ive never been good at spins, i can always only just about do a 180 and i don't know why? Do you recommend turning blind side up?? I ride goofy by the way

This is a very late comment, but I figured I could ask anyway. When I try these spins I always end up leaning too far back. Any tips for this?
Yo is there snow at Whistler now? I wanna go up so bad this year, but havent checked out the weather or anythin cause im still goin through college classes and shit
better than snowboard addiction
When you do 180, do you always land on the opposite edge? At 1:50 I see that you land on the same edge, but at 3:02 it is on the opposite edge
Don't forget that landing 540's in a quarter/half pipe is a good idea because you get to land in regular stance
+SnowboardProCamp I'm pretty advanced and I LOVE to do 360's, 180's and 540's without jumps maybe these tips will help to keep my balance at all times
Top vid dude 👍🏼
I find it hard to practice switch (and sometimes boring) do you have some tip for it?
I am scared about going highspeed! Do you have any tips?
why do you need to pop even? won't you gain more height going front foot first?
Hi Kevin! what is the rotation angle of your bindings?
Hey Kevin. What do you fix your eyes on when doing backside 180? With frontside, it's natural to me to just keep looking forward, which works well. But I realized that I'm staring at my toes when trying to jump backside 180, which probably affects my perception of direction and causes me to land badly. I hope I got the sides right...

Fitnessyoutuber mit Spritzenphobie Yeah, I figured that out on my own as well, and it worked. Jumping 180s on flat on low speeds helped me to master the head turning.
Hi, I can do a 270 while stationary, but on jumps, when i try the same thing I only manage to get 180, how can i increase the rotation? thx
I can generate spin very well and have master nearly everything except spotting the landing. Do you have any tips?
work on 180s until you land every single one, they will get you comfortable with spinning and spotting your landing (namely backsides)
Awesome that will sure help out
+Snowboardprocamp when did you record this? last year?
Asking the real questions
fuck yeah bubs
Hey! Love your videos but had a question: Can men get female boards?
I am a shorter guy ( 5'2" ), small feet, and am heavier compared to the average person my height (64kg ). The Mens boards are all too large for me, and the junior boards seem to have a lot lower of a weight, and was told are cheaper? Ladies boards seemed to fit my needs! (Also got female boots and bindings, don't fit into men! )
What main video settings do you use while filming onslope ? fps to quality? 60/1080 ?
When I'm filming others I use 1080 at 80fps. When filming myself I use 1080S at 60fps.
thank you, trying to figure out how to make good footage, cheers!
Waiting for a video now.
+Snowboardprocamp , what u do for a living?
Hey! Thanx for the tip!
I would like to learn to 180, do you start with your 'right' foot in front? Or do you start with your wrong one, so you land with the right in front?
+Laura L.o.L. You want to start the 180 with your normal stance and land switch, so start the rotation with your 'right" foot in front and land with your 'wrong' foot in front!
Thanks! I will try to learn in this weekend@
never been here so early, great video mate :)
I'm pretty sure I've learned every single thing in snowboarding off this channel haha thanks for making vids helped me out a lot
Thank you so mutch!❤
great video man!!!
Hey I can do a 180 front and back but I always land on my tail first and it feels like I don't spin enough have any tips?
Unbalanced pop. You probably ollied.
why do you not jump a kicker with spins?
Beast mode!!!
Thanks
Do a tutorial on corks bs and fs
Where was this filmed ?
very helpful thanks
my weakest point is the line. I don't have a big problem with the rest. But some time, while im taking off my edge is losing and sliding away. Its exactly in that moment when im pushing to ollie. Do you have any tips for that?
+Ramon Kloppe Just work on your carving. Also when you you are riding in that you have a balanced body position over your board. Good luck!
where is this video filmed?
You should make a video on not pre-spinning...
And do these tricks off of real jumps please
That stance tho 😳😳😳
+snowboardproCamp I have my 180s good but I can never seem to get the 360s I go off of a small cliff about 3-5 feet tall and I always stop rotating at 180 I do all the right techniques. Do you have any tips that could help?
Use a jump way easier
Hello SnowboardProCamp. My friend said me that you must do ollie and routation from kicker for fs 3 or fs 5. Is it right?
thx for ur answer =)
When I try to throw a 360, or anything bigger than a 180 I cannot keep my board flat in the air and my spin ends up being more vertical rather than horizontal. how can I fix this problem to get my 360's down?
Tazer Clan stop leaning backwards before the pop
Thank you its very yousful
Thanks again
Thanks this helped a lot! :D
How wide is your stance :O ?
How come we dont see you doing 540s anymore Kevin?
Hey Kevin, I am a begginer snowboarder and I want to ask where should I put my smartphone while snowboarding because i want to stop and take photos from time to time.
If you have a real snowboarding jacket it might have a zip pocket or a media pocket to put it in, if not (I just have a windbreaker for park riding) put it in a plastic bag and in your pocket underneath your snow pants.
+Grant Wood thanks for the help.. but I am still kinda afraid of breaking it in case of a fall
I got a seidio case for my phone. It's protected from impacts and the case is waterproof so I don't need to worry about the snow melting into cracks. There are lots of other companies though. Just type in Google waterproof case and your phone.
+RasTweet2 thank you, appreciate it. I just googled it and found some water/dust/dirt/impact cases.
How do you spin faster
Do you wax your board for smoother riding?
+Luke Divi why wouldnt you wax your snowboard if you dont wax it your pretty much just fucking up your snowboard and even if you dont your not gonna go as fast as if you wax it
i like this so informative :)
Why does no one ever mention bending your knees??? It makes any trick so much easier and it looks dope as hell.
You going freestyle of freeride?
whats this song?
이분들은 킥뛸때 엣지박아서 뛰는데 랜딩 잘되네요ㅜㅜ
Too true, this is what I did when I start my rotation on snowboard, this winter I will show tricks and tutorial but in French, on snowboard and now I show how to do a backflip and a side flip, charlotricks36;)
Can anyone help me I go off let's say a 25-30 jump and 360 but I always seem to land on my tail/leaning back! Anyone help?
Check out your takeoff. If you're landing on your tail, then you could possibly be taking off tail heavy too.
SnowboardProCamp Thanks I will try to stay forward more. Some kickers are on such an angle up it gets hard :P didn't think anyone would actually reply lol
Exactly same problem here ... Landing my 360 easily, but on the tail (left foot) and after that i fall.
You probably won't get back to me on this but why don't you Ollie instead of pop
+CT BassFishing it's just easier to stay balanced in the air when you pop compared to Ollie. You can Ollie too though!
ollies throw your weight forward or backward (nollie or ollie) on the takeoff, and put you off axis in the air. If you can do it right it looks steezy af, more like a 360 single cork, but I find it much harder.
Hell, why not cab?
Leaf a like. Hissss
