Basically, you approach the backside wall of the halfpipe, ride up it and do a barrel-roll style front flip with a 180 degree rotation. Ya kinda have to imagine you're throwing your front shoulder down across the front of your body towards your back binding to get the rotation right.
Any ideas? I've been told it's either a McTwist or a Crippler... No idea which one though. Or even if it's either of them...
Thanks! |

Mctwist involves a 540 spin so it's not that, sounds like a crippler to me which is essentially an inverted 180 of sorts. |

Yeah I thought that, but every description I've seen of a crippler has been copied straight from the BASI snowboard handbook, and isn't specific on the direction of rotation. Does it matter? Cause I thought it normally did... |

misty's a front flip 180, not a barrel role  |
