HOW TO FRONTSIDE 180 THE EASIEST WAY TUTORIAL 2024

What this video teaches

The 2024 update from Aaron Kyro adds a nose-pivot progression drill where you pop an ollie and deliberately land on the nose then pivot the tail around frontside, making the weight-distribution concept concrete before attempting the full rotation. He emphasizes the back foot in the 'back pocket' (heel-side corner of tail) as the key setup difference from a pure ollie, and uses a slow-motion wind-up demo to isolate the shoulder pre-rotation.

Key tips

• 1Back foot goes in the 'back pocket', the heel-side corner of the tail, not dead center like an ollie
• 2Wind up your head and shoulders opposite the rotation direction BEFORE popping
• 3Throw your arms and shoulders frontside as you pop, this is the engine of the rotation
• 4Nose-pivot drill: ollie and land on the nose, then pivot the tail around to feel proper weight distribution
• 5The nose-pivot drill shows exactly where your weight should be: over the front truck as you rotate
• 6Drag your front foot up the board simultaneously with the shoulder throw, these happen together
• 7The board follows your body; don't try to kick the board around with your feet separately
• 8Your weight transfers from back foot at pop to front foot at landing, practice this weight shift consciously
