Skateboarding Tricks: Nollie 180 Flip

Video Transcript

"A great variation of the half cap kick flip is to learn the nollie variation. Nollie half cap kick flip is when you ride in a nollie position, nollie 180 flip front side, and land fakie and keep rolling. And turn that into a fakie roll. The nollie front side 180 flip is going to require you to be able to have nollie 180s pretty comfortably, and then combine the nollie flip and the nollie 180 together. So the nollie 180 flip is like this. You set up with your foot in a nollie position, with your tip of the toe on the board so that you're able to get maximum ability to nollie and height. Your back foot is going to be placed in the middle of the board, with your toe kind of slightly out. And what you're going to is hit the nose, your foot's going to continue up the board, and flip the board 180, and then land in the fakie position. You're also going to want to kind of have a knowledge of the half cap flip, because you're going to want to be able to know how to flip and the timing that's required for this trick. And then what you do is you take that trick and imagine it backwards, and then you're able to figure out how to nollie 180 flip."
