"JUSTIN VAN ZANDT: My name is Justin from the YMCA on behalf of Expert Village. In this clip, I'm going to teach you how to backside 180 kickflip and you want to start with your setup, and you put your foot in a kickflip position and your back foot like an ollie but a little bit more towards the toe side of the tail so you can get the right rotation when you begin to pop. When you pop, you have to set to turn your board sideways and lean sideways, throw your shoulders, and a backside 180 motion. When you're getting ready to pop, you want to wind your shoulders up, so that you get the right turn. You get the 180 whenever you begin to pop your board. And you'll just throw your shoulders in that direction, so that you can rotate all the way."
