"Common mistakes with the nose wheelie to 180 out is when people Ollie into the nose wheelie and they're rolling, they don't turn enough before they're about to come out. This will cause you to land in a 90 degree angle and of course you're not going to go any further from that. So what you want to do is, when you're in a nose wheelie position you want to get your upper body and your shoulders ready to turn into the position to land Fakie. Another common mistake is Ollie into the nose wheelie position and just before you get to the end, you turn and your feet aren't in the right position and the board flips, lands in a primo position. One way to avoid that is just keep your feet in a nice, good even stance. Another thing that can happen with the 180 out, is you want to be rolling fast enough so that you can clear the end of the manual pad. This is very important part of the trick, since coming out is the main focus of the trick. So you want to roll with enough speed so that your back wheels, can clear the end of the ledge so you can roll away clean."
