Frontside 540 — park jump
An upright frontside one-and-a-half turn, departing main stance and landing switch.
Preparation and setting
Consistent straight airs, frontside180/360 and switch landings on a suitable familiar feature; agree the approach with a coach.
Execution / application sequence
- Inspect the jump and establish a repeatable straight-air line.
- In this publisher's example, set up on toes and move to heels for departure.
- Coordinate leg-driven lift and rotational release at the lip without turning the board sideways while still supported.
- Follow the spin through the first full turn, remaining compact.
- Recognize the returning landing and finish the remaining half-turn.
- Release any optional hold, recover aligned switch posture and absorb contact.
Learning and practice
Practise approach and departure separately, then compare the first360 and final180 phases. Add a grab only after departure and landing are repeatable.
Errors, limits and corrections
Early spin reduces pop; a rushed grab disrupts axis; do not substitute a snow pivot for the airborne target.
Observable checks
Stable line, upright axis, full airborne amount and controlled switch ride-away.

01
teaching summary — coaching review required
The source relates the movement to Frontside 360 and Frontside 180, using one documented toe-edge setup, heel-edge departure, sustained airborne organization and aligned switch landing.
02
editorial review notes
The cited edge sequence is one documented example, not a universal requirement.

Additional editorial review notes
Batch 17 landing enrichment (S9); existing Batch 05 approach and teaching material is unchanged.
