Dear HS W2W 180,

This letter is to inform you that you have caused me enough grief over the past few seasons. I will no longer be thinking of you as "that trick I hate." You won't smack me around any more. I own YOU now. Run along and give someone else a hard time.

Liz

**Landed nearly every one I tried today and yesterday. Check that off my list at long last!

sick... hs fs 180s may be a beginner trick, big if you throw em big and under control with a grab they can be one of the smoothest looking tricks IMO

Thanks, guys. I'm riding at 70 and now I'm ready to think about grabbing 'em.

i find grabbing nose is easiest, but melon is the steeziest.

congratulations they took me a while to learn too.

Method to FS 180 is a sweet grab too. Good job Lizrd! Also (and I'll get shiz for this I guess, but...) I think a slob grab looks very cool on FS 180's, like you are pulling the board around.

Congrats. That was my trick to work on for the year as well, feels great to have them dialed. I usually go for a post-rotation indy grab, feels natural to me, but I think the above suggestions for grabs probably look better.

Dear Liz,

I want to thank you for sending me the HS FS 180 to plague my riding. Though I can ollie these and one wake them huge all day long my day is not complete without sliding one of these out w2w and taking a fall.

Signed... HS FS 180's bitch

Chad,

You are more than welcome! I can send a few other doozies your way, too - all you gotta do is ask! How about the BS Ollie 180 to edge catch? Would you like a side order of that, too?

Liz

ha ha. I have begun to explore the joy that is the BS 180 to edge catch and I feel that at this time I am not worthy. Perhaps in some time I will be worthy for you pass this one to me :-)
