Alright, So I know I'm going to get a ton of crap for this but here it goes.

So how do you a very slow 180 that just looks sooo smooth on a big jump

And just do a 180 slow isn't going to cut it

i dont really know how to describe it. I can do a super steezy screamin seamen 180 thats uber slow... what i do is come into the jump on the side of the kicker and carve a little bit into it right when im about to pop then i just keep my head turned and i spin slow. If this doesnt help sorry.

for me the best way is to take off with almost no spin at all, bend your knees and keep your shoulders over your legs, and start the turn (lets be real here, it's only 180 degrees, more of a turn than a spin) but keep your tips pointing as straight forward as possible as long as you can and get your grab, then at the last second your body will already be done spinning, just bring your heels downhill right as you touch down

Spin the upper half of your body but delay your legs and skis. Hard to explain. Like a shifty I guess.

Well the sexiest 180 i can think of is switch shifty 180 with dub japan grab but the 180 has to e so late it is almost like a shuv but not quite.

This. I also pull my arms to one side (my right for me since I spin right), thus making my body rotate at a slower speed. Takes a little to get used to the feeling, but eventually it becomes more natural and you can implement it into other tricks.

come up to the jump shoulders squared, pop, then rotate your shoulder and upper body then before you land, follow through with your legs and skis.

It is simpler than it sounds.

this is what i do on blades
jump
tuck knees up a tiny bit
slowly rotate upper body and keep your skis pointing straight ahead
right as you're about to land and die, whip your skis around for the 180
basically a late 180 but they're fun

listen to some DJ Screw

double grabs help you stay motionless

a shifty is dope, two is cooler

and I like to carve hard into the lip

Don't even set a rotation with your shoulders at the beginning. Once you are in the air, just turn your head and shoulders, letting your body follow.

Watch Eric Pollard, I'm pretty sure he does them often. I like the late 180 thing, they're fun. Like when you rotate you upper body and wait to spin your skis till the very end.

just pop and do a 90, and then pivot at the end.
