It's not hard. Just use your feet/hips to turn your skis around for a 180 degree turn and don't get too much air for it at first because you can do this off of flat ground easily.

start small, then slowly move up. the bigger you go, the slower you should rotate. when you land, trust your twintip and lean back. you should also start skiing switch to get more comefortable for your landings.

here it is step by step

drop into the jump.
get way to much speed
as you approach the jump put your arms to the opposite way you would be spinning and lean that way
when you hit the lip, pop as hard as you can and at the same time throw your arms to the other side and look with your head

a full helicopter is a 360....good job at bein a smart ass to him...give him actual advice you douche....

okay to do the 180 its pretty easy once you go for it...just go up to a little jump and for the 1st few times make sure to throw it pretty hard and after a few times you shoudl be able to float them

One of the main things is not to freak out, stay calm in the air, and spot the landing, sometimes when i go bigger than expected, i stay calm cause i know that if i dont i will eat shit.

just find like the biggest table u can find!...chads gap would prolly be the best.....then get as much speed as you can and spin to the right or teh left as HARD as you can....u'll at least do a 180

^i'm not sure chad's gap qualifies as a table. but anyway, approach the jump like you're going to 3 and then don't spin as much.
