How To: Frontside 180

"How To" video number 23: Frontside 180 aka FS 180
This trick has been requested since I started making how to videos but I never got around to it because I had made the quick tips about 180s. I decided to finally get a legitimate full how to frontside 180 out there.
I'm sorry if it's not as comprehensive as you'd like, I have been busy with vacation and homework, but I tried to fit this video in real quick!
The main things to take away from this are:
Rotate your shoulders
Shift your weight to your front trucks to roll away correctly
Frontside 180 Quick Tips:
• Quick Tips Ep. 1: Fron...
As always, good luck with this one! You definitely can learn it if you try.
If you need any specific help just leave a comment and I'll try my best to explain things more.
Thank you for watching!

OMG, i ve been wztching braille and there frontside 180 tips and they didnt help at all, i watch this video and i can ddo it in 15 minuits 😃

[@keyonrobinson3622]

braille skateboarding is better.

[@TitanBeats]

braille's videos are better when it comes to flip tricks and stuff to practice before trying but jump jumping tricks they dont do as well as VL

[@keyonrobinson3622]

well, then you must have not wached the highest ollie challange

When he gave the first tip to shift your weight to the front I figured I’d try that out real quick. I did the Ollie while shifting my weight forward and turning my whole body and landed the FS 180 right on that try...

[@EthanHofton]

Same thing happened to me, after shifting my weight in the 180 it just clicked and landed it in a few more tries. In all my time watching Braille don’t think I’ve heard this tip before

[@rurikjenkins5005]

I got my front 180s down just a couple weeks before you published this so I wasn't able to use it to learn, but you addressed all the issues I was having while learning it. I think this video will be very helpful for people still trying to learn them! Your content is great! Keep it up!

[@shamarbruce8830]

It's funny because one day, practing my ollies I accidentally did this and since the day I did it I couldn't get it right but this is a big help right here.

[@EthanHofton]

Honestly I’ve been struggling with this trick for so long (couple of months), I have only been able to rotate the board 90 degrees because all Braille said was rotate your shoulders... after watching this video managed to learn this in about 1 hour. Thank you for making this videos they help unreal amounts

"Exagerate the movements until you get used to it" Really important point here guys! (I can do fs180 since forever and this is one of the most important tips for learning bs/fs ollies) Great vid as always!

Ok teacher chill it

[@jeffreyni9846]

Randomly tried it today and landed it in 20mins. Best day ever and I can’t really Ollie btw. You guys got this!

[@landonjuntunen8509]

After 10 plus years of not being on a board I decided to try and pick it up again. I loved skating as a kid but was never very good and frontside 180s always eluded me (I thought backsides were easier but they are NOT). Anyways, once I saw how you angle your back foot I was able to get them around! Then I realzied that harder and faster you pop the tail the easier the trick becomes. Now I can get them pretty high and smooth! thanks for all your time man, you really are helping a lot of people!

[@Skankhunt-sj7bk]

You're the best skate trainer on youtube for sure

I'm 32 just getting back into skating after fifteen years of real life, and man I have to say back in my day we didn't have KZbin to learn off you learned from watching skate videos or from your friends or people at the park willing to give pointers. Great stuff man 👌👍👍

[@imp086]

I just started skating again after a 15 year hiatus. This is the first trick I tried after feeling comfortable and consistent with my ollies and I got this down in about half an hour thanks to this video. Thanks so much, your tutorials are amazing!

[@matthewgates7680]

This was a massive help thank you!!! You're the first trick tip I watched that mentioned the heelside pocket and push with your bacl foot! I always did just standard Ollie position with my front foot way back behind the bolts rather than more up on the nose! Landed several off a box today! Nice!

[@Whoaman555]

THAT'S WHAT I WAS MISSING!!! I needed to put my back foot in the heel-side pocket. I love you man.

[@caruseum]

I cant stay on the board it just keeps flyes away from me

[@boocuffs4368]

oh yeah yeah.

[@0tsoo]

mitä ukko

[@1koir]

Don’t lean too forward or back when you do the trick. It will lead to you not having balance and the board will just fly out.

[@larsjostvuono1499]

otso torille

[@dudebro7227]

ur weight must be off, if ur weight is too fat forward or back the board will pop away from u because your pushing it that way. try to stay centered

[@freakyrims1527]

Before watching you, i couldent ollie and i gave up really fast. But after a couple weeks i saw your video in the "reccomended" I watched tye video 2 times, and i got my first ollie. My progression is all because of you

This guy has some of the best skate hot to videos out there but let’s not shit on anyone else’s videos guys. They all put a lot of work into them to help skaters progress. VL - thanks for all the vids they’re awesome

[@kelseyhiggins519]

thank you, i’ve watching this video over and over, as well as others, but i really think that this video helped me learn how to 180. i did like 1 real one yesterday and just did at least ten today, they are not perfect but it’s because of you. i watched a braille video once and it had a different foot position then yours, i tried it but i couldn’t do as well as i did with the position you said to do it in, and that’s how i do it now.(not saying braille is wrong, it’s just if your comfortable) this trick really only took me 4 months, started in August i think, and i’m going to stick with skateboarding because it’s fun. thank you VL skate

[@Sax4565]

I'd love a varial heel flip video! I can do all of the basics plus some medium tricks (mostly tre flips, big spins, inward heels, back heels and such) but I have absolutely no clue how to form that trick. I think my front shovs suck, not sure. Glad to see you back making those videos, they definitely are worth the wait :)

Omg I’ve gone months without improving my family 180 at all and after watching this I can go almost 90 degrees thank you so much

Yeah I used to pop straight down then turn my shoulders. That tip really helped me. For some reason I cant do fs 180s but I can bs 180 perfectly

[@aruntyer4522]

Deagle760 same it weird

[@MrAmirtaha]

Deagle760 back 180s are my favs. Get a good speed, don't forget to turn your shoulders, and really slide your foot on the deck, so the deck stays underneath

[@owensixtynine69]

Deagle760 it really is a load of BS *laugh track*. yea i have no friends

[@klxvdblxckhrt]

It's cause you usually pop the board with your left foot like me.

[@seal6565]

Deagle760 You’re supposed to pop them straight down and do a late 180 if you want to get them high. My first 180s were shuv its body varial, that’s why I can’t do them over anything, so I learned to do it the proper way where you do an ollie 90 then just pivot the rest mid air.

I wish I checked this out a long time ago. I only ever watched braille's tutorial and all aaron said was it's the same shit as the ollie but just twist your body. I never even had my back foot right. I have the rotation and front foot land on lock, but thanks to this video I figured out my back foot was off this whole time. Imma go skate right now since it gave me a shit ton of motivation on how easy it looks
