bs 180 ollie

In this episode, Geoff will to teach you the backside 180 ollie.

We'd like to say a big thank you to ATBShop Skate Warehouse for letting us film in their park and Geoff from Rubicon for his time and expertise.

things to remember

Backside is turning the back of your body around to the other direction
Back foot sits on the tail
Front foot sits just before the bolts on a slight angle
Pop the ollie
Using your hips, chest, shoulders and head - swing everything around to help with momentum for the 180 spin
Land with wide feet and bent knees in fakie (backwards)
Don't feel disheartened if you are only reaching 45/90 degrees, keep practicing and you'll get there
A good stepping stone is to land on the nose and pivot the board the rest of the way around
