i'm a very new Ex-newb so i know where you are coming from. just mess around, go down your hill and see what you can do, think of random things that seem odd but when you can to them it's good. don't worry at first about the names of things you'll find them out later.

but thats just what i did, maybe it was the wrong thing to do but it was fun.

find a medium sized roller, pop off of the roller where you think you will get the most air, and try to get around to 180. grabbing safety (one hand right beside the boot on the outside of the ski) will help you keep it together in the air.

i find it easier to 180 at lower speeds, but it looks really terrible sometimes. more speed = more air = more time = smoother trick. if you aren't confident landing switch yet, it's better to be going slow, because then when you fall it won't hurt as much.
