Try popin these front-side 180's just on flat ground (not moving) at first. You are right, front-side spins usually start on heels. That's probably the weirdest thing about them. To me, the rest is easy. There are many ways to perform frontside spins, here is one way that may help get you going:Start with your arms wound up behind you (back arm behind your back foot and front arm over your front knee) and lower body squatted down moderately. When ready, begin to extend your knees, boosting upward. While extending, open your shoulders, arms helping lift up and rotating clockwise. As you leave your heels, your upper body is almost fully rotated. After in the air, pull your lower body around and land in balance with everything all back in alignment.Once you get these, try it while moving down the trail, then try off of jumps!
