How to Fakie 360

The kids love their skateboards and the tricks they can do with them. The fakie 360 is doing a complete 360 turn while on the skateboard. Practice the fakie 360 often, and soon, you will be showing off for your friends.

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging

Instructions

1. Jump onto your skateboard to get some momentum to do the fakie 360. Take a few running steps, and launch yourself onto the skateboard with both feet.

2. Roll on the skateboard. Bring your arms up, chest high, and wind them and your upper body in the opposite direction from your spin.

3. Bend your knees, and squat down.

4. Snap back up quickly. At the same time, spin your arms and shoulders quickly in the direction you want to spin. Your feet should remain on the skateboard.

5. Practice Steps 1 through 4 until you are doing the full fakie 360 spin. Show your friends your fancy step.

Tips & Warnings

• Start learning the fakie 360 by doing 180 spins. These are easy by comparison. You will not need as much momentum since you only do a half circle. When you land, you will be facing the opposite way.
• If you are new to skateboarding, do not try the fakie 360. Practice with your skateboard first to get the feel of being on it. Soon, you will be ready for the more daring tricks.
• Always wear protective gear while you are on your skateboard even if you are not learning tricks. Helmets protect against head injuries if you fall off your skateboard.
