this is my first year in the park and ive been trying 180's i landed 1 on like a 25 foot jump, but i ate crap every other time i tried it which was liek 5 other times. i can do them easy on small jumps, but i dont know what im doing wrong. i think it might be that im leaning to far forward but im not sure.

ok ya i know what u are talking about...i used to do them same thing with 360s on hips...when u come up tio the lip...dont lean forward as much as you are. it sounds like when u land, you are landing extremley tip heavy, meaning that the majority or your weight is on like the first foot of your ski. just practice doing them on the smaller jumps and even doing them at high speeds on flat ground...try to stay balanced when u land switch, and work on keeping your skis parallel when u land(i have the same problem right now)other than that i would just say practice makes perfect bro...just try not to lean forqward becasue thats what it sounds like u are doing wrong.
