A slide with your back forwards and the board turned 90° to the direction of travel followed by a 180° turn.
How do it
The bs 180 stand up slide is almost identical to the fs 180 standup slide, but obviously performed while going backwards,
1.
Your front foot should be at the same distance from the trucks as your back foot (at whichever distance is most comfortable). Your back leg is parallel to the board, leaning slightly on the side or gas pedal.
2.
Speed up, bend your knees slightly, perform a carve in the direction opposite the slide — and, while straightening your legs, push the board with your back leg toe.
3.
All in all this trick is similar to the toeside stand up check. The difference here is that in order to go to switch, you need to turn your torso and shoulders to switch, i.e. slide with your back to the slope, and slightly crouch down when completing, for added stability.
