"The foot placement that you'll need for the hurricane to fakie, basically is going to mean you're going to need your foot on the your tail in any comfortable position. And with your font foot, you're going to place it right in the middle of the board, or anywhere that's pretty comfortable for you. Now, most of this trick is going to depend on, pivoting on your back two wheels. And you're going to have to use a lot of your upper body, to get the momentum to get all the way around, and into the feeble position, rolling out fakie. So remember, foot placement is very important, and make sure that you're able to get your weight onto the back side of your board, onto your back two wheels, but more importantly, turning your body before you even get to the feeble is going to be one of the best ways to get you all the way up and around, and into the 270 that you need to do. So remember your rolling fakie, feet in the fakie rolling position, and just before you get there, turn your body a little bit before, and then get all the way around. And this will help you get into the feeble position."
