HOW TO FRONTSIDE 360

What this video teaches

Breaks the flatground frontside 360 into its two 180 halves, showing that momentum alone gets you through the first 180 but the second half must be powered by pressing the nose down and vertical board tilt, not more twisting. Notes that feet naturally drift during the trick and gives a starting foot position that compensates for that shift.

Key tips

• 1Set your front foot with the toes hanging off in a heel-flip-style position and your back foot loaded for a strong frontside scoop, since your feet will drift back to normal by the time you land
• 2Master the frontside 180 before attempting the 360, since the trick is really two 180s stacked together
• 3Wind up hard and complete the first 180 as fast as possible using pure rotational momentum
• 4Do not rely on shoulder-twist momentum alone to finish the second 180, press down with your feet and dip the nose to drive the rotation the rest of the way
• 5Let your lower body lead the second half of the rotation ahead of your upper body and torso
• 6Practice on smooth ground rather than rough concrete so you get sliding time if you land under-rotated
• 7If you cannot complete a full 360 on flat, try it off a hip or launch where a 270-degree rotation is enough
