01 Start with your feet in the same position as an ollie, with your back foot slightly more towards the toe edge of the board. As you crouch down, turn your upper body
slightly the opposite way to the
way you’ll be turning in your 180,
as if it ‘wind-up’.

02 As you start the ollie immediately unwind your upper body and turn it the way your 180 will go. Use your arms to give you more momentum.

03 As you leave the ground your upper body should be completely turned so your back is facing toward and being in this position will allow your lower body (legs and board)
to follow.

04 When you reach the peak of your ollie, your lower body and board should be around half way through your 180. At first you’ll start landing them in this position, which just means you needs to put more power into the coil and the turning of the 180 by the start.

06 Practice getting all 4 wheels down at the same time, although it is possible to put you front (now back) wheels down first and pivot the rest of the way. When you start landing these properly, you’ll have
to know how to ride out fakie, which means going backwards. As long as you are looking the way you are moving you’ll be okay, again aim
to land with your feet over the truck bolts to avoid snapping of your deck. Now get em higher!
