"Hi my name is Ryder Mackey, and I'm here today with Expert Village, and I'm going to talk to you about the front side 180 to Ollie. You?re going to start off and your going to do everything, as you would an Ollie. Snap your toe down, drag your foot up. As you?re coming up and dragging your front foot up to the top you want to rotate your shoulders. In a front side direction, and um your going to your going to bring your skateboard up as you would an ollie. But the skateboard is rotating resulting in a 180 turn, your going to land it, and roll away. And I'm going to talk to you about the backside 180 Ollie. Um what you want to do, is you want to place your feet as you would a kickflip with you front foot at a 45 degree angle. Except you want your back foot, your back foot toe hanging off the edge of the skateboard in front of you. And you want to start to turn your shoulders, as your making an ollie, but you want to scoop your back foot into it. You want to scoop it behind you, kind of scrape the tail behind you. Um so that you can just kind of scoop the 180 into a turn, as opposed to just being in the air."
