Kicker 180 is a 180-degree spin off a kicker, usually frontside first, landing switch or fakie after leaving the ramp.
Set speed before the kicker, ride up flat, pop tall, then rotate after takeoff. Keep the handle low and close through the landing.
Progression note: use a small kicker and repeat straight airs first. Avoid starting rotation on the ramp face.
