Step 1
Set your feet up as you would for a normal nollie, but keep your shoulders and back slightly more parallel with the board than usual.
-
Step 2
Pop your front foot down as hard as possible to get the maximum pop, and begin to turn your shoulders and hips backside as you go up.
-
Step 3
Suck your legs up, and use your upper body to guide the turn. Don't turn completely 180 on your way up (as you would for a frontside 180 nollie); you will inevitably over-rotate in the air and land at a crooked angle, sending you flying backwards to your head.
-
Step 4
Turn only 90 degrees on your way to the peak height of the trick (so you are only half way through your turn).
-
Step 5
Clear the obstacle or go as high as you are going to go.
-
Step 6
Relax your body and let the natural leftover momentum carry you the rest of the 180-degree turn.
-
Step 7
Land as solidly as possible (all four wheels), let your knees absorb the impact, turn around, and do another one!
