Basic Skateboard Tricks: Nollie Frontside 180

Video Transcript

"Next I am going to show you what is called the nollie frontside 180. Remember nollie is when you are riding in a switch position but fakie which means pretty much riding backwards so it is going to be your opposite feet on this one so it is going to feel difficult at first but you know eventually you will become a little bit ambidextrous and it won't feel so weird but at the time to do this you want to have the nollie pretty much down pat because it is the foundation to the whole trick. Get a little bit of speed and stomp on the nose and as you stomp, spin your body in the direction that you want to turn and on this the nollie frontside 180 is the spin where you can see where you are turning thus making it the easier of the two but when you incorporate the pushing and riding around and all the other parts of the nollie 180 and you put them together it looks a little bit like this."
