For one source of "how to ...": look here for step by step instructions on the 180 switch; also there are many U tube clips.

Sounds a bit like my husbands 720, only he forgot what way to lean when he landed and broke he's collar bone!

How do you do the 180 and land backwards??
Errrr........ try and do a 360 spin, fail, then lean forward when you land! )
I was told to push my shins right up against me boots, pop out at the top of the jump and lead the rotation with my head and feet. Keep eyes level, bend knees when landing and lean forward if you're not wearing twin tips.
I think if we'd have had more height we'd have done a 360, our rotation wasn't quick enough.

Ouch!!
That was one of the crucial tips they gave me, spot your landing and lean accordingly. If (should a fluke occur) you see your skis facing downhill and you have nailed a 360 lean back slightly, if you only do a 180 lean forward upon landing. Either way you're leaning uphill!

My husband is a low intermediate and was not attempting any kind of spin whatsoever. His 720 was more of a crash bang wallop than an attempt at a new trick :lol: He is all healed up now and very much looking forward to our New Year trip. He has even bought his own ski's and boots...he has, like the rest of us (despite injury) caught the bug. I don't think he'll be attempting any tricks for a few years though...but you never know! :wink:
