Frontside 180

[Jama]

I don't know where to ollie, and then turn or turn into it while I'm ollieing. When I ollie and then turn, it feels more like a surface 180(my ollie probably isn't high enough), but when I turn into it, it's awkward and I never land it.

pop and use your back foot to rotate...not your front foot

Jama, from the trick list:

Ollie Frontside 180: You rotate half a turn frontside.

Basics: pop your ollie and pass the handle to your back hand as you rotate frontside.
Tips: keep the handle close when you initiate the trick. Open your chest after you have poped off the water for more control. I like to start with only my lead hand on the handle and do the pass in mid air. Helps to be more in control and to turn it late.
Don't forget to put the pressure back on your lead foot (right for goofy) after the ollie for the switch landing. If you fall on your ass on that trick then you put too much pressure on that foot on the landing.

hope it helps

Nekkie, stand up advise homie. Jama, you definately wanna make sure you get your pop on first.

I think it helps to drop your hand that is in front.. if your left foot foreward the drop your left hand as you ollie.. if your goofy drop your right hand when you ollie.

yeah I like to start the 180 with only my backhand on not take my front off while in the air. But that is just me.

I find them easier to take big inside out or off the startup roller. It seems easier than just flat in the flats.
