i made this vid for MJKam11 and I believe it helped him, a bit more descriptive than the faltown one, maybe it can help you out a bit.

thanks, I hope it actually helps you guys and doesn't confuse you, this probably the slide that I shed the most blood learning, but they're so cool once you get them down.

i had trouble doing these slides, but if you just try to make your back leg straight right in the middle of the 180 and keep looking over your shoulder it comes around like butter.
