How to Do a Frontside 360 Ollie on a Skateboard

Possibly the coolest trick ever. Everybody wants to know how to do it!

Instructions

Difficulty: Challenging

Things You’ll Need:

• Skate Rails
• Skateboard Decks
• Skateboard Helmets
• Skateboard Pads
• Skateboard Parts
• Skateboard Trucks
• Skateboard Wheels
• Skateboarding Shoes
• Skateboards

1. Set up your feet just as you would for an ollie.
2. Begin to wind up your body so you can explode frontside when you go (but don't wind up too much or it gets ugly).
3. Hit your tail and ollie as hard as you can. The key to this trick is getting enough height so you'll have time for the full rotation.
4. Turn your body just like a frontside 180, but be a full 180 degrees at the height of the trick.
5. Achieve maximum air.
6. Push the nose of the board down with your front foot. This will cause the board, and you, to come around the full 360. Your body will be behind in the turn, so be loose and let the board lead. You will naturally corkscrew a bit.
7. Land on all four wheels if possible. Your rear wheels should naturally come down at the same time as your front wheels simply due to the way your body turns. Do your best not to land on your front wheels; you'll loop out and spin all over the place.

Tips & Warnings

• Remember, ollie as high as you can, and guide the turn with your front foot!
• Skateboarding is an inherently dangerous activity that can result in serious injury. We recommend that you seek proper training and equipment before attempting this activity.
