HOW TO FRONTSIDE 360 by SKATE HACKS is a skateboarding tutorial for the Frontside 360 Shove-it. A direct breakdown of the frontside 360 shove-it as two stacked frontside 180s, where momentum from the wind-up alone won't carry you through the second half.
What this video teaches
A direct breakdown of the frontside 360 shove-it as two stacked frontside 180s, where momentum from the wind-up alone won't carry you through the second half. Distinctive angle: the second 180 is driven by pressing down through your legs and feet to dip the nose, not by torso rotation, and the torso is allowed to lag behind the completed spin.
Key tips
- Set your front foot with toes hanging off similar to a heelflip position, and your back foot loaded like a frontside shove for a strong scoop
- Wind up as much as you comfortably can before popping to bank momentum for the full rotation
- Complete the first 180 as fast as possible using your wind-up momentum
- Drive the second 180 with the power of your legs and feet pressing the nose down, wind-up momentum alone won't carry you all the way around
- Let your lower body complete the rotation before your upper body or torso catches up, don't force them to arrive together
- Master frontside 180s solidly before attempting this trick, it is built from two of them back to back
- Practice on smooth ground rather than rough concrete, smoother ground gives you sliding time to absorb an incomplete rotation
- Try it off a hip or a set of stairs first if flat ground is too demanding, airtime removes the need for full leg-driven rotation
