lol i never seen someone edge a 180 like that before, i thought he was gonna slip out. but he stomped. Just a hint, dont edge your 180s so much, very bad habbit, looks yuck. You dont start edging till that last split second before the take off, thats if you are doing anything bigger than a 360.

yeah but it’s a tutorial for beginners, so i think it’s good to show him doing it on a small jump. it would have been nice to see him explain it on a small jump, then at the end show him doing it on a bigger one.
