How to Frontside 180 on a Skateboard

Skateboarding · Frontside 180

An ollie where both you and the board rotate forward.

Step-by-step instructions

  1. Approach. Ride with a bit of speed. Your shoulders will lead the rotation.
  2. Ollie and rotate. Pop an ollie and rotate your shoulders and hips 180° in the direction you're moving (frontside).
  3. Board follows. The board rotates with you. Spot your landing and land with both feet on the bolts.

Tips for success

Wind up slightly before the pop. Turn your head and shoulders first; the rest follows. Practice on flat then try off a curb.
