Sorry this seems very confusing, can someone help me out?

No matter if you are popping of olling you can start of on a toe edge, heel edge, or a flat base. You can also land on any variation of edge/base as well. The trick to the one 180 is to simpilify your movements. You should be a able to accomplish a 180 just by scissoring your legs(kind of like doing a flutter kick in the pool), with a pre or follow-up rotation of you upper body to come into alignment with your new forward foot. I would praticie popping/olliing of and landing on different edges/base first and then start mixing rotations in afterwards.
