Is it possible to spin 180 in one direction and then spin 180 back while in the air. My physics teacher says you can't do it but I think that its possible if you have enough air and rotate slow enough

actually jason you would need some friction to allow you to enact some torque, aka change your angular momentum. Air resistance could provide friction, but sadly not enough, and not at a predictable time. That is where the problem lies.


It may be possible to make it look like you do 108 to 180, i guess they call that shifty.

I think the closest thing to it is a rewind. That is doing a sifty on way then spinning back 180 the other way. David Benedek does a switch one on Lame. He one some comp over in Europe doing it. Also Trevor Andrews does a super stylie on in Saturation.
I think rails in general are just a phase. - Anthony Boronowski

Well.. I can jump off the ground, straight up, and turn myself 180 degrees once I leave the ground... I dont see it being that hard, I'ts rather easy...

Last year in the X games someone went of the gap jump and did a 180 at the last minute
