Using a Ramp for a Frontside 360 Ollie on a Skateboard

Video Transcript

"One good way to learn how to three-sixty front side ollie, is first to bring it to something so that you can three-sixty front side ollie and not have to go all the way three-sixty. But, go just a little bit short of it. But, still be able to roll away. One of the ways is to find something that you can approach that's front side, that's just behind you, and sends you off a lot like this cut here or this bank right here. So, what I'm going to do is I'm going to ride off it at an angle. And, it's going to cause me to already have just a few of the degrees of the three-sixty already in place. So, now when I do it I can just go a little bit short. But, I can also roll away straight. And, this will get me used to the feeling. So, I'm going to ollie off it just short and send all the way around and then land and roll away straight. This is just one way that you can get better at going all the way around and not having to make it a complete three-sixty. But, just a little shy of a three-sixty. Another reason that a bank or a ledge like this can help you learn three-sixty front side ollie, is because it's off the ground. So, it gives you more airtime. And, therefore it makes it a little easier to make the rotation. Because, the hardest part of the three-sixty front side ollie is completing the full rotation before landing back on the board and headed in the right direction. So, the height of this will give me just that little extra airtime so that I can rotate, land and roll away clean."
