Goal
- Jump with a 180° rotation (frontside rotation)
- Natural and switch
- Convey the difference between frontside and backside rotation
Where
Flat slope (blue run); well-prepared, grippy slope
How
The jump is performed with both legs or by doing an ollie from the toeside edge. The upper body is rotated in the direction of travel. To achieve a full 180° rotation in the air, sufficient airtime is required. The landing is made flat-based and absorbed with both legs. Re-engaging the toeside edge helps to stop the rotational impulse.
Methodical Progression
- Demonstration of the final form and adapted technical explanation
- Stationary exercise: 180° jumps on flat ground (emphasizing the frontside rotation)
- Practice in the traverse: starting on the toeside edge
- Turn into the slope: starting on the toeside edge
- Practice in the traverse: switch
- Turn into the slope: switch
- Linking frontside 180° jumps
