What this video teaches

Braille Skateboarding coaches a skater named Gabe through the trick live, treating the manual ollie out as the prerequisite he already has. The recommended sequence is to practice flat ground 180s, practice manuals, then combine them. The one correction repeated throughout is upper body rotation: you have to be far more turned in the manual than feels natural, because if the upper body is not wound up a long way the legs simply cannot complete the pivot. They also have him drill the 180 out on its own, standing and pivoting without the manual, to get the motion before adding pop.

Key tips

  • Learn manual to ollie out first, then practice flat ground 180s and manuals separately before combining them
  • Turn the upper body far more than feels natural while still in the manual; if you are not really wound up, your legs cannot make the pivot
  • Drill the 180 out by itself, pivoting without much pop, to learn the motion before committing
  • Turning only your head while in the manual is not enough, the rotation has to come from the upper body
  • Set the trick up slowly and deliberately: manual, set the 180, then 180, rather than rushing the exit
