Basic Skateboard Tricks: Fakie Frontside 180

Video Transcript

"Next I am going to show you what is known as the fakie frontside 180 and it is a little bit different than the trick I just showed you because as I explained before don't be deceived by the names of these because their difficulty gets reversed when you are going to fakie. Fakie just to reiterate is when you are riding in your normal stance backwards and with the normal frontside 180, these are usually the easy ones to do because you can see where you are turning but when you go fakie like I said it switches and this becomes the more difficult one to do because you can't see where you are spinning but it is the same sort of logistics as the original 180. You stomp on the tail and as you are stomping, bring your body in the direction that you want to turn and once you spin the full 180 degrees stomp on the board so it doesn't shoot out."
