Frontside 180 is a 180-degree spin where the first part of rotation opens toward the line, ending in switch or fakie.
Pop before spinning, keep the handle low, and pull the back hip toward the handle. Spot the landing before edging away.
Progression note: master switch riding and surface 180s first. Start small, then move to ollie, wake, or kicker versions.
