When I do them I pop like a backflip but as I'm leaving the lip turn my shoulders and head to the left whilst dropping the left shoulder under, I find that sets the motion pretty well. It really feels like you're trying a backflip 180 really. Just make sure you breathe out before you hit the jump so you're nice and loose then you can choose to lay it out or tuck for a grab meaning you'll have way more control during the rotation.

Hope that helps

If you lincoln loop to the left, carve in to the left so that you are basically 90' facing left when leaving the jump, do your lincoln loop as normal, land switch.

If you know how to lincoln loop on a tramp etc (or even snow) and can stomp a backflip and you can trust your abilities you'll stomp it on the first try. .... or at least get it really close. Combining those 2 tricks are already explained.

he meant 90 loop 90

but i like to think of it more of a 180 to switch front flip. i set it mostly the same way i'd set a backflip but i throw my right shoulder down and towards the left side of the lip as i take off, and before you know it youre spotting the landing

Hmm 180 to switch front flip sounds like a trick I should try this year. Although just visualizing it in my head it seems distinctly different from a 90 lincoln 90.

I side flip to the right so basically I start flipping a little off axis to the right and spin with the flip. A grap of your skis will make it more controlled.

a lot of these answers are pretty wrong. my gymnast cousin taught me how to do them and they look more steezy. You gotta set it just like a backflip like dont even think about the one eighty at the end, but as soon as you come around and the moment you spot your landing just think now do a one eighty. It seems anti physics but it actually works way better and its more like a pwhite underflip.
