Answer 3

twin tips. you dont even need to jump. just push off the ground and twist

Answer 4

you should have twin tips for attempting any tricks where you land backwards.  for a 180, as you aproach the jump wind up your arms so you use them to help you spin.  it doesnt take much effort to get the rotation for a 180.  when you reach the lip of the jump, pop and twist.  turn your head over the shoulder inthe direction youre rotating.  when you are in the air look directly up hill at the jump.  stomp the landing and immedaitley look over your shoulder to see where you are headed.  dont turn your skis around right away.  

practice on flat ground first.  just jumping and spinning in place.  then, move up to a small jump. once you got that go bigger
