I'm a skateboarder from the San Francisco Bay Area

I've been skateboarding for a very long time

And today I'm going to teach you

How to Frontside 180

Before you get started on this trick

You have to be really comfortable just pushing and riding your board

I really want to stress this

Then there's a couple other tricks you need to know

Ollie, shove-it

You don't have to have the frontside shove-it, but it's good

And then you can get on to frontside 180s

The foot position is going to be exactly the same as your ollie

Basically all this trick is is just an ollie

With a 180 obviously

But with a small difference in the foot position of your back foot

Your back foot is going to be perched on the side of the tail

Rather than just right in the middle

So you can give a little extra force when you push your foot forward

And do the frontside 180 like that

So the main thing about this trick

And when you're getting started

Is it's really all in the shoulders

If you know how to ollie and you've got your ollies down

Really all you need to do from there is turn your shoulders

Your upper body turns first

And then your legs follow

So as you bend down and you start to pop up

Notice how I turn my shoulders

So you put your feet in the position

Bend down, pop up and turn those shoulders just like that

And then when you pop, your board is going to follow

Your feet will follow your shoulders

And then you'll be able to do the full 180

Just like right here

Notice the emphasis when I turn my shoulders

And the timing between when I turn my shoulders and the pop

So I bend down, then I pop up and begin to turn the shoulders

And then my legs follow

So the first thing that turns is those shoulders

That's very important

If you have your ollies down really well, like I said

This is very easy

Another good way to learn this trick is to ollie

Land on your front trucks and then turn your back foot

I don't want to make it too hard for you guys

But that is another way that you can learn it

And make it a little easier

So you just get used to pushing that back foot out

And making the board do the full 180

As soon as you pop, you swing your front foot around

And then your back foot will follow

And your back foot really swings out and around and then you can land

Practice this trick. Get it down really well

Because it's going to help you learn other tricks

And it's going to increase your ability to move that board

And make it do what you want

So do it A LOT

Do not give up on this trick

You can learn it and you will get it down
