first off, get comfortable riding switch so you will know how to ride off whenever you land. progress from surface 180s, bunnyhop 180s, one wake 180s (each one increasing in distance), then take them wake to wake. when doing them off the wake, i would suggest doing them toeside first because the spin and landing are easier. When doing a t/s 180, you land with your chest facing towards the boat opposed to a h/s 180 where your chest is pointing away from the boat. some things to remember are it is only a swift movement of the handle from one hip to the other. As you move the handle, your hips will rotate automatically. So keep your chest up, and keep that handle at your hips. In a regular t/s jump, its natural for your hips to want to unwind so that you land with your chest facing the boat and by not resisting this unwinding, it is what makes the spin for this 180 much easier than a h/s 180.
