Difficulty: Easy
Step1
A frontside air is a turn with front of your board higher than the back of your board; accept it is two feet (and later more) above the edge of the pipe.
Step2
To do a frontside turn, you must ride across the flat bottom of the pipe, arms by your sides, knees bent. Ride up the wall, slowly raising your arms. Ride off the lip – don't jump, just keep riding off.
Step3
After the tail of the board is off the lip, bring your knees to your chest. Reach down and grab the board between your feet once you reach the high point. As you start to let go of your board, aim your shoulder at a landing place you have spotted and land as high on the wall as possible.
Step4
Now to do frontside 180, you must survey the jump and figure out where the landing should be and how fast you'll have to be going to get there. When you know you can make the landing safely without going too short or overshooting it, hike up and begin.
Step5
First thing you must do is ride with your arms down and relaxed. Ride off the lip, but do not jump; allow your momentum to bring you up. Turn your shoulders frontside (so the front of your board is higher in the air) and start to bring your knees up as you reach the peak of your height.
Step6
Rotate your upper body and let your legs follow so that you are facing the direction you will be going and land on both feet with knees bent.
