Gain Speed. |
Place your feet in the standard ollie position (though you may want to put your front foot a tad closer to the nose of your board until you feel completely comfortable with the trick..) |
Perform a clean ollie. |
Immediately upon takeoff, start your backward rotation, keeping in mind that the speed of your rotation need to be adjusted to suit the purpose of your backside 180. |
To rotate correctly and retain balance for landing, your entire body must turn. Explanation of how to turn is wasted breath - for everyone the process is different. |
When you land, try hard to get all four wheels to land at once. Your weight should be centered over your board - over weighting your nose or tail upon landing could prove to be disastrous. Your shoulders should be in line with your board, your arms raised |
