Foot Placement for Skateboard Hurricane 180 Out

Video Transcript

"The foot placement required to do a hurricane, 180 out, is very similar of course, to the foot placement needed for the hurricane. The only difference that really changes, is, the momentum that you put on the trick to continue going 180 out. Because now instead of just stopping at 270 and rolling in fakie, imagine you're going to keep going and roll back out straight. So your back foot is going to want to be on the tail, to get as much turning and pivoting as early as possible, before getting into the feeble position. Your front foot, you're going to want to keep right above the front set of wheels, or the front mounting hardware. When you get into the position, and you're rolling up the ramp fakie, swing your arms to get as much momentum as quickly as possible, and remembering that you're going to need a lot speed to get up the ramp. With this momentum, you're going to go all the way around and lock into hurricane grind, or the feeble position. Now, at this time, remember you're going to want to keep your upper body swinging and continuing in that motion, so where ever your eyes look in the direction that you're headed, your body is eventually going to figure out and follow through with the motion. So, your upper body is just as important as the foot placement, to do a hurricane 180 out. Another thing to remember, is that when you get into the, after the 270 and you lock into feeble position, remember to point your foot and keep your body on the inside of the ramp, on the inside of the transition, and not on the top of the platform. This will help you to poke the trick up on top of the quarter pipe, or ramp, or whatever you're skating, and be able to get it back in by keeping your weight above your tail, and poking your front foot. And this is the foot placement that you'll need for the hurricane, 180 out."
