How To Do a Skateboard Manual 180 Out

What this video teaches

ExpertVillage presents the frontside 180 out as the natural first trick to add to a manual, building directly on the ollie manual. The method is to ollie onto the ledge, hold the manual, and then pre turn the upper body about six inches to a foot before the end of the pad rather than waiting for the edge. The core idea is that your shoulders predict the direction you rotate, so you set the upper body almost into the landing position while still in the manual, then 180 out and roll away fakie.

Key tips

• 1Build on the ollie manual: ollie onto the surface, hold the manual position, then turn out instead of rolling straight off
• 2Set your shoulders about six inches to a foot before the end of the pad, not at the edge
• 3Your upper body and shoulders predict the direction of rotation, so pre turn them almost into the landing position while still in the manual
• 4Adjust your weight along with the shoulders before the 180
• 5Land and roll away fakie
