Backside Rodeo

An inverted 540 launched off of your heel edge.


Prep-
Think the trick over in your head and get a mental picture also practicing on a tramp helps and try to learn it on a jump into powder.

How To-
Approach the jump with a good amount of speed, the more speed means the more air you will get leaving you more time for the rotation. As you reach the lip keep your knees bent and your weight centered.
	
(1.) Bend your knees and get ready to launch.
	
(2.) Pop off of your toe edge and turn your head to look backwards over your back shoulder while you throw your back arm in the same direction


(3.) Lean backwards down hill like you are trying to backflip and spin a backside 180. You will rotate smoother and faster if you stay in a small ball position instead of being stretched out. Try grabbing a solid melon to achieve this.
(4.) Hold the grab and start to spot the landing as you rotate around to a 360.
(5.) After you see the landing, while still holding the grab, look up hill in the way you are still rotating. This will cause you to spin another 180 to get to the 540.

(6.) Look down at the ground the whole time, keep your knees bent and stomp towards the ground to absorb the landing
       
(7.) Stomp it and ride away with a big smile.
