How do it
Performed on a quarter pipe/half pipe, it's a 180 air above the coping. You can practice this trick by 'airing' below the coping first.
1.
Get plenty of speed for the quarter pipe, stay loose whilst approaching.
2.
Let your front wheel bonk off of the coping, this will keep you from hanging up on the coping.
3.
Whilst in mid‑air you have to spin 180 degrees, so turn your head and spot your landing to spin yourself around.
4.
The aim is to land just under the coping so that you can then pump the ramp and maintain speed.
5.
If you are hanging up then you haven't pulled out of the transition enough.
6.
If you are landing flat at the bottom then you have pulled out of the transition too much.
7.
When landing make sure you bend your knees and try to maintain your speed.
