Learning The Trick

General Overview

Just like a Lincoln Loop this trick just has a little 180 in the end to make the trick have a switch landing. Depending on how you initiate this trick will determine which trick you end up doing.

Preparation

You are going to want to be comfortable going inverted and going big.

Doing It

Just like a Lincoln Loop... Once you clear the lip of the jump, initiate your Lincoln Loop by swinging your right arm down toward the heel of your left ski. That arm will generate the momentum to carry your skis up and over like hands on a clock. Grab your left ski under the heelpiece of the binding and try to tweak it out. Remember two things.

First, get your left hand out to help set your rotation and serve as a pointer to keep your body going in the correct direction.

Second, remember that your tips should always be facing forward during the loop. If you start to look backward you will do something that is more like a Rodeo Flip. As you come around out of the Lincoln Loop rotation, spot your landing.

But this trick differs from a Lincoln Loop because when you are finally getting close you want to throw out your hips to bring your body around that extra 180 degrees. That gives you the fakie landing.

Finishing

As you see your landing coming up make sure to loosen up (to slow your rotation) and keep your eyes trained on the landing. Finally bend your knees and stomp it.

Mastering The Trick

General Tips

• You probably want to test your kicker with a few easy grabs or spins before you huck something inverted.
• With most inverted tricks it is super important to be 100% committed to the trick. Bailing out halfway usually results in a lot of pain.

Adding Style

A grab is almost necessary to keep your arms from sprawling and throwing off your spin. So you may as well make it a good stylish grab.

Other Tricks

• The Lincoln Loop 180 is really similar to the Lincoln Loop.
