Frontside 180
Place your feet as you would to Ollie. Now this is easier when moving at a controlled speed. Start turning inward then pop up and swing your shoulders around to start spinning. Try to keep your balance over your board and try to Ollie high when you do this. This trick is a lot easier if you turn before you do your 180 to give you a bit of a head start and a quicker spin. Twist your body frontside and tuck your board up and let if fallow. You want to be able to keep going after you land so that means you have to spin the whole thing. Pretend your turning when you still on the ground this help a lot of people spin faster. Keep your balance over the middle of the board and you should be fine. All I can say is turn into your 180 and spin your shoulders. Keep practicing this. This trick looks really good when you can spin the whole thing and land and keep on going. Always keep the board under your feet to make sure that you will land on it. Keep practicing and you should be fine. This trick takes awhile to learn and perfect but its a cool trick. Just remember to practice and keep trying and e-mail me or something and tell me what's going wrong with you 180's. Have fun and Practice!

Tip: It's a lot easier to spin if you wind your hands the opposite way you are going to spin then unwind and Ollie. That way it forces your upper-body to move along with the board and not just your feet.

Tip: I find that if I point my from shoulder straight (parallel with the nose of the board) it helps with the turning and I balance better afterwards. - Tip sent in by:
