How to Frontside 180 on a Skateboard

Video Transcript

"JUSTIN VAN ZANDT: My name is Justin from the YMCA on behalf of Expert Village. In this clip, I'm going to show you how to frontside 180. And you want to set your feet up, your front foot up maybe like an ollie but a little bit more on the board, so that your foot can catch more of the board and allows you to turn. And your back foot is going to be just like an ollie but maybe a little bit more towards your heel side of the board. After you have your feet set up, you want to set to wind your shoulders up. Let's say, you can get ready to pop, you wind them up and when you're going to pop, you want to open your shoulders up, so out there you frontside into 180. When you pop, you going to pop like an ollie and throwing your shoulders is going to start to turn you 180 after you curl your foot. And popping with your foot on the left side of the tail is going to already start you in your 180 and if your shoulders are going to bring you about halfway, and you're going to spot your landing and start to turn in the last 90 degrees and land, fakie, backwards and on your bolts, and just be balanced."
