What this video teaches

Quick pro breakdown from Ryan Decenzo treating the frontside 360 ollie as an ollie plus a full shoulder wind-up, with a learning-friendly foot setup that mimics a heelflip stance before graduating to a standard ollie stance. Flags under-rotating past 270 degrees as the most common problem and shows how a small pivot on landing rescues the last 80-90 degrees.

Key tips

  • Start with your front foot in a slight heel-flip position and your back foot angled to help the scoop, then progress to a normal ollie foot position as you improve
  • Ollie into the first 180, then keep turning your shoulders all the way around and push with your feet to bring the board the rest of the way
  • Land with a wide stance and your back foot on the tail so you can pivot the last bit of rotation if needed
  • Expect to land closer to 270 degrees at first, once you break past that point the remaining 80-90 degrees comes easily with a small pivot
  • A big arm wind-up is optional, focus on ducking your head and shoulders down and around instead if a wind-up feels unnatural
  • Accept that a small landing pivot is normal for almost everyone on this trick, not a sign you are doing it wrong
