What this video teaches
Caswell Berry (RIDE Channel) isolates the wind-up as the single most important technical piece, explaining that the shoulders must complete a full 360 before the hips, knees, and legs can follow through. Recommends building up through frontside 180s, then a corner hip or pyramid for a 270-only rotation, before progressing to flat ground and stairs.
Key tips
- Get your frontside 180 solid first, with enough pop to lift your legs up high
- Turn your shoulders backside slightly as you wind up, even though you are spinning frontside, so you have full rotational range built in before you pop
- By the moment you pop, your shoulders should already be roughly 90 degrees into the spin so they lead your hips through the full 360
- Learn the trick off a corner hip or pyramid first, since that only requires a 270-degree rotation instead of a full 360
- Progress to a small launcher for extra hang time before dropping to flat ground
- Take it to flat ground and then stairs once the rotation feels consistent
