What this video teaches
Aaron Kyro's second-generation tutorial emphasizes foot position and the importance of being comfortable riding switch before attempting the trick, since you will land fakie. He explains that back foot on the tail tip (ball-of-toe) and front foot near the front bolts is the ideal starting position, and breaks down the rotation as an ollie with simultaneous upper-body turn.
Key tips
- Back foot: ball of the toe right on the very tip of the tail for clean pop and scoop
- Front foot: close to the front bolts, almost identical to an ollie stance
- Get comfortable rolling switch before practicing, you'll land fakie and need to ride away confidently
- The trick is 'an ollie with a frontside rotation', master your ollie first so it becomes automatic
- Upper body rotation initiates first; your feet and board follow the momentum of your shoulders
- Pop the board and drag your front foot up while simultaneously turning your head and shoulders frontside
- Practice riding switch casually before sessions, even just pushing around fakie builds comfort
- Commit to the full 180: hesitating mid-rotation lands you on the tail and stops the roll-away
