This is what I do.
Roll at a comfortable speed on flat ground.
Wind your shoulders the opposite way your about to spin. Hit your tail as if you were going to do a regular ollie, but begin to turn your shoulders as you hit the tail.
Let your shoulders lead your body. Your hips will follow and will turn your feet, which will turn the board.
focus on keeping over the board. Its okay if you land a little on your back wheels first. If your gonna practice rolling you should try it fakie first. ( rolling backwards) Evan I need to practise 180's because they're to hard for me.

skate towards grass and do it just before the grass so if you land bad it wont hurt,
this way you'll try harder and you wont care if u fall

When I swing my shoulders I pivot the first 90 and ollie the rest. or you can ollie the first 90 and pivot the last half.

yer the way i learnt it was just ollie then spin your body around as hard as you can, and because your heading streight for the grass it wont hurt...just do it over and over until you feel comfortable on grass.
TRY IT ON CONCRETE!!!!
