ollie 180

[scarecrow476]

I searched the forums and looked at the trick tip for this one but I still don't know exactly how to do it. At first I thought you kinda just turn right away after you pop it and then like drag to the side while turning ur body or something but I practiced for 3 hours and couldn't get it so I went home and watched some videos and the ppl in the videos turned after they ollied in the air. This, I have no idea how to do. When i try this I either flip the board it goes flying somewhere or I just don't turn at all after I ollie. Plz help, there aren't a lot of threads on this one.

First thing i learned after learning to ollie cus u need it on banks and ramps and such. Well u just kick ur back foot through and turn with ur shoulders. The foot shud grip the board. U can practice by just first doing kick turns on two wheels and start ollieing it later. Another easier way to do it is by going up a driveway and then at the top doing the i80.

Pretty simple once u know how to turn ur shulders.

I still can't do it. I'll try getting a vid up.

It's not like you ollie, then rotate, it's you wind up, and start twisting, while you are twisting pop a ollie.

oo I see I think I'm getting closer, today I didnt rly drag I kinda just held onto the grip so that the board would spin with me is that right or should I still drag up like an ollie?

I put my front foot waaayy higher than a normal ollie, I started out learning them with my front foot on the bolts.

might be different for you though, try puttin your front foot a little blow the front bolts.

hmm I don't know how to explain, I'll go try a few inawhile and tell you.

You only do a normal ollie and turn in the air if you're jumping stairs or a ledge. Otherwise, you do the arm winding thing. What I do is move my back foot like a pop shove it and I hardly move my front foot at all.

almost like a pop shuvit body varial but having the board stick to ur feet right.
