It is a 180 degree rotation backwards with heelside approach.
How do it
A heelside basckside 180 is one of the most difficult and notable 180s. Can be performed without swapping grip (this type of landing is called "blind").
1.
Go in softly, accelerating just enough to jump a wake to wake. While edging, push down hard on your leading leg. Keep your arms half‑bent.
2.
Push off as hard as you can, smoothly pull up the handle to your front hip and bend your knees.
3.
Once you start descending, begin rotation. Bring your leading arm — the one holding the handle — behind your back, and turn your shoulders and head as if you’re trying to look over your back shoulder.
4.
When landing, keep your eyes on your front binding and sligthly lean in with your shoulders. You don’t have to swap your grip if you don’t want to.
