There are two different techniques people use for no comply 180s, and you've described both in your last paragraph. One school of thought de-weights the entire board to get the front foot on the ground, and then deliberately pops the tail. Sara Park-Matott uses this method and has a great video explanation [VIDEO] it. The other school of thought (I'm in this one) does the spring-tension thing that u/naggyboo mentions. Ben Degros gives a good explanation [VIDEO]. Jonny Giger also has a good explanation [VIDEO]. Whichever technique you end up feeling most comfortable with, one of the big secrets to this trick is that the rotation comes from your whole body; it's not just a scooping motion of your rear foot.

I hear a lot of people say both feet should be "on the board" before it lands, but almost all no-comply tutorials I see does that actually happen. *Check out this video of Jonny Giger [VIDEO] You can see that the board is on the ground before his back foot gets on it. I think both feet should be in the air before the board lands, not necessarily 'on the board' though.

My guess is your back foot is pinching because you aren't shifting enough weight to your front foot when you step off. Before you step off, your front arm/shoulder should already be pointing in the direction of rotation. As you rotate, plant and shift your weight to the front foot. Then keep your eyes focused on your back foot and think about pushing the board forward as it rotates, if that makes any sense. It also helps to try them while rolling at a low/moderate speed. The momentum makes it easier for the board to pop & spin around. It's a weird feeling trick at first, but keep at it and you'll get it! This video [VIDEO] may also help

Give them a try, I thought it was fun to work on. It felt super rewarding to even get it to this level pretty quick. It is a good trick to break into little pieces and work on individual skills then combine together. Here is some more motivation for you. [VIDEO]
