"JOSHUA BLANKENSHIP: Hi. My name is Joshua Blankenship with Expert Village, and today I'm going to teach you how to rotate your shoulders for a frontside half cab. Okay, so you gotta get pop and slide. The next step is to rotate your shoulders around, so get on your board and here's the key; it's to wind up your shoulders. So you spin in this way. You want to get a counter rotation going. You wind up your shoulders in the opposite direction that you're going to be spinning and you spin them around. And once you get about here, you pop it. And then that way you keep spinning and you finish the rotation and land. So when you start doing these, you're probably not going to make it all the way around. You might stick 90 so what you want to do is you pivot on your wheels and you go around. That makes it a little bit easier, so you pop them high enough so you could do it all the way around. And that's how you rotate your shoulders for a frontside half cab."
